Cupping Therapy is an ancient Chinese method of causing local congestion. Cupping therapy involves introducing a flame into a glass, which will rid the glass of oxygen and will create a vacuum. The glass draws up the underlying tissue and when left on the body for a couple minutes will cause blood stasis and localized healing will begin.

Cupping therapy has been further developed as a means to open the 'Meridians' of the body. Meridians are the conduits in the body through which energy flows to every part of the body and through every organ and tissue. There are five meridians on the back that, when opened, allow invigorating energy to travel the whole length of the body. It has been found that cupping is probably the best way of opening those meridians.

Cupping has also been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, causing tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the veins, arteries and capillaries, activate the skin, clear stretch marks and improve varicose veins.

Cupping therapy helps treat common disorders, such as back pain, tiredness, hypertension, stress related disorders, broken veins and sports injuries. Cupping therapy removes pain, relaxes stiff muscles and tendons,  improves the flow of blood through joints and detoxifies the skin and circulatory system. The technique is very useful and very safe.
