Chapter 1 – What Exactly Is Cupping Therapy?
If you don’t know what cupping is or you’ve never heard of it before, no worries – within this first chapter, we’re going to explore exactly what cupping is.
Basically, Cupping is a form of therapy where Suction cups are placed on the body of the patient by a trained practitioner and then heated with fire.
After heating, the rims of the cups are sealed and the heated cups create a partial vacuum after the cups cool off. This enables the cup to suck the skin, pulling in skin tissue and promoting blood flow. The concept is similar to acupuncture where “Qi” is drawn to areas with poor blood or lymph circulation in order to create a suction effect which raises the skin and draws the blood to the surface.
It is commonly used throughout the Middle East, Asia, and Europe to treat inflammation, pain, swelling, bronchitis, rheumatism, and even help relief symptoms of the common cold. Recent studies have indicated that it could be a promising form of treatment for a host of various ailments, as well.
The procedure involves using glass or ceramic cups, metal bells, bamboo tubes, and even animal horns! and a wide host of other items. Recently, however, the use of glass jars, plastic, and silicone are the recommended tools.
Those individuals that have had cupping therapy performed have claimed that it feels like a massage in reverse.
Well that’s a basic overview of what cupping is, in the next few chapters we will look at the history of this form of therapy as well as the major benefits.
