Description

Cupping involves the attachment of glass (or bamboo) cups to specific areas of the body with suction. This suction is the result of a vacuum, which is generated by inserting the flame from a burning alcohol swab in an upside-down cup. The flame is removed, then the cup is placed quickly onto the skin, where it is held in place by the suction created.

Cupping therapy stimulates blood circulation. Cupping also disperses and moves qi by exerting suction and pressure. Cupping is used when the qi is blocked at certain points, or when qi needs to be drawn to the surface of the body from deep within. For instance, cupping is used to treat lung infections and colds, because it is believed that the suction disperses and energizes the qi that has become blocked and stagnated in the lungs. It is also used to treat muscle and joint pain and spasms, particularly in the back.

Cupping is generally a painless procedure. More than one cup at a time may be used, and the cups may be left stationary or glided along the body to create the feeling of a deep massage. Cups are sometimes placed over acupuncture needles that have been inserted.

Cupping causes blood to be drawn to the surface of the skin, which can cause temporary red marks, swelling and bruising.
