Unlocking the Benefits of Cupping
What is Cupping?
Cupping therapy is a traditional oriental medicine technique that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. These cups are typically made of glass, bamboo, earthenware, or silicone. The suction created by the cupping process helps to increase blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote cell repair.
Benefits of Cupping
Pain Relief: Effective for back and neck pains, rheumatism, and migraines.
Enhanced Circulation: Boosts skin health by increasing blood flow and invigorating skin cells.
Detoxification: Helps the body to rid itself of toxins, promoting a healthier immune system.
Relaxation: Triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, providing a feeling of relaxation and well-being.
Process
During a cupping session at JSK Acupuncture, our skilled practitioners start by applying air to cups, which removes the oxygen and creates a vacuum as the cup cools. These cups are then quickly applied to the skin, usually on the back, legs, or arms, depending on your treatment goals. As the air inside contracts and draws the skin slightly into the cup, you will feel a suction sensation on your skin. After the procedure is over, we relieve the pressure from the cup and ensure that you are feeling well.
What to Expect After a Session?
After a cupping session, it is common to experience mild discomfort or skin marks. These marks are considered part of the healing process and go away in a few days. Patients often report feeling an immediate sense of relief and heightened energy.
