Cupping Therapy functions to stimulate and promote the free flow of fluids in the body – Qi, Lymph and blood. This can eliminate blood stagnation that may be causing pain from a deeper layer in the muscle. By creating suction, cupping is used to drain excess fluids and toxins, loosen adhesions, and lift connective tissue, while bringing blood flow to tired, achy skin and muscles, and stimulates the peripheral nervous system. Indications include, but are not exclusive to, the common cold and flue, cough, asthma, headache, dizziness and digestive disorders.
