Cupping Massage is a technique used by alternative medicine
specialists to increase blood flow.
Cupping refers to an ancient traditional Chinese medicinal practice in which
a cup is applied to the skin and the pressure in the cup is reduced (by using
change in heat or by suction out air), so that the skin and superficial muscle
layer is drawn into and held in the cup. In some cases, the cup may be
moved while the suction of skin is active, causing a regional pulling of the
skin and muscle (the technique is called gliding cupping).
It can help relieve pain and chronic fatigue; activate the lymphatic
system; clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the
veins, arteries and capillaries; activate the skin; clear stretch
marks and remove cellulite.
Cupping can help relieve impotence and maintain erection,
restore sexual potential and increase male and female fertility.
Cupping draws blood to the surface area of the body where the cups are
applied. This increase blood flow relieves muscle cramping, hardening of
tissue and associated pain. Because specific reflex zones on the back,
abdomen and legs correspond to organs, cupping can be used to promote
the workings of, for example, the kidneys, gallbladder, liver or lungs.
Cupping can also mobilize the immune system.
The treatment creates temporary, localized bruises, which - like all bruises
- activate the body's defensive cells to heal the bruised area, but they will
disappear within a week. Dry cupping is primarily used for people with a
weak constitution and low blood pressure; it is never for patients with high
blood pressure. Bloody cupping helps clear the body of accumulated irritants
that cause inflammation.
