CUPPING: (60 Min)<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction may facilitate healing with blood flow.<\/p>\n

Proponents also claim the suction helps facilitate the flow of \u201cqi\u201d in the body.\u00a0<\/span>Qi<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>is a Chinese word meaning life force. A famous Taoist alchemist and herbalist, Ge Hong,\u00a0<\/span>reportedly<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>first practiced cupping. He lived from A.D. 281 to 341.<\/p>\n

Many Taoists believe that cupping helps balance yin and yang, or the negative and positive, within the body. Restoring balance between these two extremes is thought to help with the body\u2019s resistance to pathogens as well as its ability to increase blood flow and reduce pain.<\/p>\n

Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.<\/p>\n

People use cupping to complement their care for a host of issues and conditions.<\/p>\n

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. Cupping therapy might be trendy now, but it\u2019s not new. It dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. One of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, describes how the ancient Egyptians used cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C.<\/p>\n

What are the different types of cupping?<\/h5>

Cupping was originally performed using animal horns. Later, the \u201ccups\u201d were made from bamboo and then ceramic. The suction was primarily created through the use of heat. The cups were originally heated with fire and then applied to the skin. As they cooled, the cups drew the skin inside.<\/p>\n

Modern cupping is often performed using glass cups that are rounded like balls and open on one end.<\/p>\n
