Discover the Ancient Healing of Chinese Cupping Therapy

For centuries, the Chinese have embraced the therapeutic powers of cupping therapy, a holistic remedy that goes beyond the realms of traditional medicine. From muscle knots to migraine, lymphatic drainage to lung health, cupping therapy is here to bring healing.

What is cupping therapy and how does it work?

Cupping therapy is an alternative therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction promotes blood flow, relieves muscle tension, and stimulates healing. It works by drawing stagnant blood and toxins to the skin's surface, helping to improve overall health and well-being.

How Does Cupping Therapy Work?

Originating from traditional Chinese medicine, cupping therapy techniques include placing specialized cups on the skin to produce a gentle suction. The methodology and science behind this age-old practice captivate many first-timers. It's an effective complementary treatment for a range of health conditions.

Harnessing Cupping Suction: A Voyage Through Enhanced Blood Flow, Myofascial Release, Qi Flow Stimulation, and Deep Tissue Detoxification

Increased Blood Flow: Applying the cup creates a suction that lifts the skin and the superficial muscle layer. This movement stimulates blood vessels, encouraging blood circulation and causing a rush of blood to the treated area, which aids in healing and rejuvenation.
Myofascial Release: The upward motion of the cups helps stretch and free the fascia—connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. This process eases muscle tension and promotes relaxation, helping to reduce chronic pain and muscle aches.
Qi Flow Stimulation: A foundational concept in traditional Chinese medicine is the flow of Qi (pronounced "chee") or life force. Cupping therapy is believed to balance and optimize the flow of Qi, harmonizing the body's internal systems.
Detoxification: The suction from the cups draws toxins from the deeper tissues to the skin's surface. This effect is the reason some individuals exhibit "bruise-like" marks post-treatment. Importantly, these marks aren't bruises but are indicators of stagnant blood and toxins being released.
Cupping therapy can penetrate tissues by up to four inches, prompting the release of toxins and activation of the lymphatic system. It effectively addresses colon blockages and supports the clearance of veins, arteries, and capillaries. Additionally, cupping activates the skin, aids in the reduction of stretch marks, and enhances the condition of varicose veins.

Chinese Cupping Therapy Benefits:

Detoxification: Cupping is heralded for its ability to draw out toxins, offering a detoxifying experience.
Pain Relief: It's particularly sought-after for addressing pain issues, such as migraines, muscle knots, muscle aches, and back pain.
Improved Circulation: The therapy augments the body's natural healing mechanisms by improving blood circulation.
Alternative Healing: For those looking beyond conventional medicine, cupping therapy is a compelling choice and a powerful ancient therapy.

Does Cupping Therapy hurt?

Everyone's experience is unique, but most describe cupping as a distinct sensation, not painful. You might feel a firm pulling as the cup forms suction, but this should never feel excessive or unbearable.

How long do you leave cups on for cupping therapy?

The timeframe can differ based on the treatment's aim and the client's specific needs. Generally, cups remain in place for 5 to 20 minutes. The exact duration will be customized to your particular situation.

Why are there marks after cupping therapy?

The discoloration some people notice after a cupping session isn't due to bruising. It's a manifestation of stagnant blood and toxins surfacing, which usually vanish within a few days.

Can you have cupping therapy and acupuncture at the same appointment?

Yes, cupping therapy is included in the cost of acupuncture treatments. It's entirely possible and often beneficial to combine both therapies in a single session for a comprehensive healing experience.

How often should I get cupping therapy?

The frequency varies depending on individual needs and the specific condition being treated. It's best to consult with your therapist for a tailored recommendation.

Are there any side effects to cupping therapy?

Some people might experience slight discomfort, temporary marks, or mild dizziness after a session, but severe side effects are rare. Always communicate any concerns to your therapist.

What's the difference between dry cupping and fire cupping?

Dry cupping uses suction alone, while fire cupping involves using heat to create the vacuum effect. Both methods have their unique benefits, and the choice often depends on the individual's needs and the practitioner's recommendation.

How much does it cost?

Cupping therapy is available as a standalone treatment for £45. If you're interested in a comprehensive approach to your well-being, you can opt for our acupuncture treatment, which starts at £65 and includes cupping therapy within the same session.
