Cupping; Alternative Healing

Cupping therapy, derived from Chinese cups, consists of applying suction cups made of plastic or glass to the body. This seeks to create a vacuum while the cup adheres to the body and sucks the skin and a part of the muscle, this causes the pores to open and the blood and lymphatic circulation are better.

Cupping users consider that it is a method to open meridians of the body, this serves as a conduit for positive energy to flow through the body, so this therapy works somewhat similar to acupuncture. In the cupping technique, you can apply it in various ways such as massage, fixed suction cups, application and extraction of the suction cup

Although many specialists say that there is no scientific evidence about this therapy, none seeks to endorse the benefits that cupping brings to health. Since it is said that the benefits experienced by cupping patients are due to placebo effects.
