What is cupping therapy?

Cupping therapy is an alternative therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. It may help improve blood flow, boost immune function, remove toxins, and reduce pain. Cupping may have various benefits for health and well-being. It may relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow and cell repair, form new connective tissues and blood vessels, and promote healing. It may also stimulate the digestive organs, clear colon blockages, and help with indigestion. It may improve immune function, eliminate skin inflammation, lower cholesterol, and reduce migraines and arthritis. It may also help with relaxation, sleep quality, stress, and anxiety by soothing the parasympathetic nervous system.

However, there is mixed evidence on the benefits of cupping, and the treatment risks are generally low. There aren’t many side effects associated with cupping. The side effects you may experience typically occur during your treatment or immediately after, such as you may feel lightheaded or dizzy during your treatment. Rarely, you may also experience sweating or nausea.

If you are interested in trying cupping therapy, it is important to consult a trained health professional. Cupping is fairly safe when done by a professional.
