Cupping
Cupping therapy is an ancient technique that involves placing sterile glass cups with suction along certain points on the body. Heat is used to produce the suction effect, which increases blood flow to the area.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pain is a result of stagnation. Cupping therapy helps remove stagnation by promoting blood flow. Cupping may also reduce inflammation and enhance immune function.
Cupping therapy is popular amongst athletes, such as Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, as well as celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow.
