Cupping Science

Cupping science, also known as folk cupping or therapeutic cupping, is a branch of alternative medicine that has its origins in ancient times.

Cupping is a technique in which special cups are placed on the surface of the skin to create a strong suction of air, electric charge or heat to extract toxins and stimulate blood flow.

The cupping process is usually done on specific areas of the body such as the back, shoulders, neck and extremities. Cups made of materials such as glass, silicone or plastic are used.

The air inside the cup is ignited to create suction, causing the blood vessels under the cup to dilate and stimulate blood flow in the treated area. The purported benefits of cupping are improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and improving overall health.

Some practitioners claim that cupping can treat a variety of conditions and ailments such as muscle and joint pain, headaches, arthritis, muscle tension, fatigue, depression, and more.
