Cupping
Cupping is a therapy in which an acupuncturist creates a necessary partial vacuum in a glass cup or with other mechanical devices to create local suction in the skin, which helps in the circulation of blood and fluids in order to promote healing. The suction created by the cup picks up the muscle and helps relax it. Cupping has been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the veins, arteries and capillaries, activate the skin, clear stretch marks and improve varicose veins. Cupping is the best deep tissue massage available. Cupping, the technique, is very useful and very safe. These treatments will probably leave a red mark in the place where it has been applied.
