Cupping

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine. In cupping the therapist will use oil and special cups of glass, plastic or silicone to create negative pressure. This negative pressure in cupping helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, reduce and release stagnated blood, relax tension, and can even be an alternative to deep tissue. Cupping can also be used for cellulite reduction by aiding in lymphatic drainage, stimulating fibroblasts and increasing collagen elastin. These things help improve the tone and texture of skin.
