Cupping
Cupping is an ancient method of causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created
in cups placed on the skin that draws p the underlying tissues. When the cup is
left in place on the skin for a few minutes, blood stasis is formed and localized
healing takes place.
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 tissue to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, help activate and
clear the veins, arteries and capillaries.
Cupping is the best deep-tissue massage available.
