Cupping therapy is a form of holistic alternative medicine in which special cups are placed on the skin for a few minutes to create suction.

Suction pulls toxins, pathogenic factors, blood poison, dead lymph, and cellular debris from deep within the tissues to the surface. These debilitating agents are then more easily expelled from the body. The deposits dissipate from a few hours up to several weeks, depending on the amount of stagnation and the client’s post-treatment activities.
