Cupping (Eastern and Western)
Flame is used to take the oxygen out of a glass cup to create a vacuum or suction effect when it is applied to the body. When the blood and lymph circulation is sluggish, waste by-products build up, causing stagnation. Cupping moves vital energy to areas of pain and draws blood stagnation out. Round bruises may appear but these usually disappear after 3-7 days. Cupping is good for tired aching muscles, common colds, sacroiliac pain, general back pain, digestive problems, cellulite, scar tissues, muscular-skeletal conditions and menstrual problems. Cups are fantastic for detoxifying, tightening and toning tissue.
