Cupping
Cupping is a method of stimulating acupuncture point by applying suction through a glass jar, in which a partial vacuum has been created. This technique produces blood congestion at the site and therefore stimulates it.
Cupping is used for :
- Releasing tension in tight muscles
- Soothing pain such as low backache
- Treating sprain and soft tissue injuries
- Relieving fluid on the lungs
