Cupping
Cupping is a healing modality that has been used successfully by many cultures, dating back to Egypt, c.1500BC. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates used cupping for internal disease and structural problems. This technique involves using small glass jars to create suction on the skin, dispersing stagnant blood, lymph and toxins from the underlying muscle and tissues. This technique can be used alone or in conjunction with massage to create profound effects such as reducing pain, stiffness and swelling, relieve stress and respiratory ailments, and aid in digestion, gynecological disorders and headaches.
