Cupping is unknown to many, but this adjunctive therapeutic practice offers numerous benefits to the patients. Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a local suction is created on the skin, which mobilizes blood flow in order to promote healing. Suction is created using heat or mechanical devices. The skin is gently drawn upwards by creating a vacuum in a cup over the target area of the body. The cup stays in place for five to fifteen minutes. This healing method when combined with contemporary medicine, can help speed up the body’s recovery ability, alleviate pain, improve blood circulation and healing.
