Cupping is a very safe and effective treatment modality that improves blood circulation, and lymphatic flow in the body.
This ancient form of alternative medicine is a type of negative pressure massage where suction is applied to the surface of the body. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
It is a great tool to help with pain relief, and has no demonstrable negative effects on the body when practiced by a properly informed practitioner. Cupping is safe to use alongside other therapeutic treatments, and safe to receive while taking medication.
