Cupping Therapy
≈
Cupping Therapy is one of the most ancient,
time-honored therapeutic healing practices.
For over 5000 years various cultures have used it for relieving most common ailments. Cupping uses negative pressure rather than tissue compression and has a lasting, profound effect on pain, inflammation, stubborn conditions, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, wrinkles, scarring and many other age-related ailments plaguing our quality of life.
Cupping pulls stagnation out of tissues and brings it to the skin level. The pores expand discharging wastes and toxins and deeper toxins are pulled into the lymphatic and circulatory system to be flushed away. By creating negative pressure cupping is able to lift the tissues to decrease inner pressure and release synovial fluid in joints. Cupping can feel mildly uncomfortable or deeply relaxing, depending on the individual.
Cupping Therapy affects the body similar to deep tissue massage. You may experience delayed onset muscle soreness that will be similar to a long hard workout. However the feel of cupping is not as intense as deep tissue massage. Thanks to the nature of negative pressure therapy, the work is deep without being painful.
Benefits to the SKIN
Expands the blood vessels of the skin, causing an increase of:
-blood circulation and temperature
-metabolism within the skin tissues
-functioning of sweat and sebaceous glands
-cutaneous respiration
-nutrition supply to the tissues
Effects on the MUSCLES
Stimulation of the subcutaneous capillary vessels activates and expands the blood vessels within the muscles.
This action increases blood flow and removes congestion in joints, attachments and other various musculoskeletal structures.
Suction facilitates the excretion of lactic acids and toxins from within the muscles and its surrounding support.
Post cupped muscles maintain increased temperature and fluid facilitation much longer than with traditional therapy.
Benefits on the Circulatory System
One principal of the healing effects that derives form cupping is on the cleansing of the blood. Cleaning the blood improves circulation- good circulation is paramount to optimum health.
Cupping dramatically improves circulation of blood and lymph making metabolic process more active within minutes, and cumulative with continued treatments.
Cupping cleans the body’s cardiovascular system so disease doesn’t have a chance to develop. Where disease already exists, cupping cleans the system so it can better fight and recover from the disease.
Purifies the blood by removing dead debris, increasing red and white blood cell activity, and altering the PH chemistry of the bodily from acidic to alkaline or neutral.
Abnormal systolic pressure normalized and pulse rate returns back to normal.
It helps hardened arteries by gently stretching and breaking up the micro adhesions that contribute to the rigidity of the arterial walls.
Benefits on the NERVOUS SYSTEM
The gentle pulling action stimulates the sensory nerves of the skin.
The reduction of hypersensitive pain affects the areas of direct applications, as well as the area relevant nerves effects.
Treatments of the posterior central line and the sympathetic nerves have a powerful effect on both autonomic nervous system and the various organs under its control.
Effective against general malaise, depression, headaches, anxiety, body pain, and fatigue as well as endogenous chronic diseases like high blood pressure, neuralgia and rheumatism.
Benefits to the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
The stretching actions on the abdominal regions stimulates the inside walls of the digestive organs jumpstarting peristalsis and the secretions of digestive fluids.
Overall excellent effects upon chronic gastrointestinal disorders and the constitution and a whole.
The system is affected even during back treatments by stimulation the spinal and autonomic nervous systems.
Benefits on the JOINTS
Chronic and stubborn conditions are reduced and resolved with various treatments.
The stretching and pulling of the connective structure allow a much greater range of movement. Along with the opening up of the joint capsule to loosen and release stagnation which compounds the general compaction and stiffness often associated with stubborn and orthopedic conditions.
Disorganized fascia structures can be directly restructured to further support the healing process. Increases blood and lymph activity within the joint as well as stimulating activity and the secretion of synovial fluids.
