Cupping Therapy
Pain indicates that there is some disorder or imbalance in the body due to some external or internal factors. From ancient times to our modern world various medicines and therapies have evolved to treat different pains in different parts of the body.
Among many therapies we offer cupping. This is basically a 3500 year old China based therapy for reducing body pain. Cupping therapy mainly includes the use of glass cups to create a vacuum on the body part which enhances circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids through tissues.
Cupping therapy mainly works on the meridians. Meridians are the energy pathways lying all across the body reaching through all tissues and organs. The energy inside our body, also called as chi, flows through these pathways. Any disorder in our body is mainly caused by the blockage of these pathways. So this therapy mainly clears the energy pathways through increasing circulation of blood and oxygen and the smooth workings of the lymphatic system. This is mainly carried out on the back portion of our bodies which have the maximum number of meridians Moreover this helps in releasing body toxins from the tissues and organs. As the vacuum creates the suction, it reaches deep inside the cells and tissues which causes toxins to move out of cells.
Cupping therapy is done in one of two ways: stationary and moving. Oil is applied on the body for creating smooth movement of the suction cups. Sometimes these cups are kept on a particular part for 5-7 minutes without any movement. At times, five to six cups are placed on different parts simultaneously and removed cyclically.
Once you have completed this therapy, you may feel some sensation and tingling deep in the tissues. This sensation is the indication of improved blood flow. It is very beneficial to apply essential oils just after this treatment which nourishes the skin and gives your skin a glow and shine.
There are so many health benefits of this Chinese cupping therapy. It mainly reduces back pain, headache and fatigue. Cupping therapy regulates and balances hormones in the body, helps in ovulation in women, solves constipation problems, eliminates skin problems and makes your skin healthy. It also strengthens our immune system thus giving us power to fight off diseases.
