Cupping is the application of suction, or negative pressure using cups of varying materials (glass, bamboo, bone, plastic) from which oxygen is removed by way of creating a vacuum. Cupping is an effective therapy that is deeply relaxing, does not hurt, and can be applied to many parts of the body.
Originating from the shamanic sucking doctor tradition, cupping therapy is one of the oldest and most globally practiced healing therapies in human history. Though cupping remains popular throughout many regions of the world, this ancient modality and stand alone healing art was nearly lost in Western society until recently. Both of my grandmothers practiced cupping. I am proud to introduce to you this safe, practical and effective healing therapy.
