Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy
Just as life doesn’t sustain in stagnant water, our bodies struggle to stay healthy when our blood and lymph fluid isn’t flowing freely.
The practice of cupping goes back thousands of years from Asia, spreading through the Middle East and Europe and finally making its way to America. (You may have noticed a contemporary reference to cupping in the 2016 winter Olympics when swimmer, Michael Phelps, swore by the method as critical helping to increase his swimming capacity.)

The technique known as “cupping” uses small cups as suction devices on the surface of the body. The suction works on a deep tissue level to clear blockages and encourage energy and lymph flow and to release toxins stored in the different layers of the body.
Commonly used for respiratory and pain conditions, current research has shown that cupping helps with serious internal conditions, such as hepatitis.
However, I use cupping for less serious conditions as well, such as general muscle tension, to bring about a state of easy relaxation.
