Dry Cupping
About Dry Cupping
Dry cupping is a traditional therapeutic practice that involves placing suction cups on the skin to promote healing and relaxation. By creating a vacuum effect, the cups draw the skin and underlying tissues upwards, increasing blood flow and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. This method is particularly effective for alleviating muscle tension, improving circulation, and reducing inflammation. It is often used by athletes, individuals with chronic pain, and those seeking stress relief.
Dry cupping is considered safe when performed by trained professionals, making it accessible to a wide range of people. Overall, it offers a holistic approach to wellness that complements various treatments.
