What is cupping?
Cupping involves placing glass, bamboo or plastic jars on the skin and creating a vacuum by suctioning out the air. The underlying issue is raised, or sucked, partway into the cup.
Cupping is an ancient form of alternative therapy that is widely used for treating pain and other medical conditions. The process typically includes the placement of special cups on the skin for a few minutes to create a suction. Wet and dry cupping are the two ways to perform this therapy.
While the two forms differ in certain aspects, both practices involve the placement of cups to raise the skin and enhance circulation. Different types of cups might be used for different results. However, therapists commonly use cups made of glass, bamboo or plastic.
Needle cupping is a popular amalgamation of acupuncture and cupping for treating pain.
