What is Cupping Therapy All About?

 

Cupping is a medieval ancient form of alternative therapy that originated in India and popularly practiced in Middle Eastern, Chinese, and Egyptian cultures. It is a basic procedure that involves placing heated Silicon/Glass cups on certain parts of the skin to create suction and draw fluids. This suction facilitates healing with the blood flow.

 

Types of Cupping therapy

There are mainly two types of cupping therapy:

      i.         Dry Cupping

     ii.         Wet Cupping or Hijama or Medicinal bleeding

 

What does Cupping Therapy actually, involve?

In cupping therapy you may expect to be asked to lie down and uncover only the part where you want to experience the cupping therapy, suppose back.

[Note, different practitioners may employ a bit different procedure to provide the cupping benefits so, all you need to do is consult a Trustworthy expert, for instance, a Professional practitioner of cupping therapy in South Perth in order to avoid any sort of discomfort.]

So after you have laid on your front exposing the upper half of your back, the cupping practitioners would start the process. Gradually, the experts would place heated cups onto your skin for about 2-3 minutes. As the air inside of the cup cools down, it will create a vacuum which will cause your skin to redden and blood vessels to expand. 

 

However, cupping is a completely safe and medicinally approved healing process.

In Dry Cupping, sometimes the rubber cups or silicone cups are used, which are gradually moved to and fro on the skin for a massage-like effect.

Besides, in Wet Cupping, after the cups are removed, small cuts are made onto the skin using a scalpel and then a second and the final phase of suction is drawn using the hijama cups to draw the unclean blood from the body.

 

What are the cupping therapy benefits?

In general, you may expect cupping to increase the blood circulation in the area where the cups are placed. This relieves muscle tension buildup, promotes cell repair, and thereby improves blood flow. Besides, it also helps to form new connective tissue in almost all ages except these categories of people.
