Contemporary Cupping Facts
Cupping was brought to the main stream world primarily through Traditional Chinese Medicine however it was not exclusive to this area of medicine. Variations of this treatment were used by ancient Egyptians, North American Aboriginals, early Greeks, and in other Asian and European countries.
Cupping therapy was recommended by Hippocrates, the man whom many consider to be the "Father of Modern Medicine," in his guide to clinical treatment.
Cupping Therapy works with de-compressive pressure or suction that can either be gentle to deep gauging on the client's needs. By engaging the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) you induce a deep state of relaxation.
When your body is in a “stress state” aka the Sympathetic Nervous System, circulation is halted and body systems go into shock by running on adrenal overload. In this state, this is where disease and disfunction can manifest. Nutrients aren't absorbed properly in the body through the digestive system and throughout the entire body on the cellular structure. Muscular tissue can get stiff and cause pain without proper circulation and lymphatic flow. Cellulite can also start to form as the toxins aren't being released properly through the lymphatic system. Cupping directly improves the lymphatic system.
The negative pressure from the cups allow these body systems to function normally and even improve the body as a whole by working more optimally. Toxins, excess fluid, water retention, are removed and tight, dense adhesions are released. If one body system is running slow or overloaded the entire body suffers and this is where malaise and dysfunction occur.
The importance of blood and lymph circulation plays a huge role in our health and body defense system and since cupping therapy works directly with blood and lymph, your body will detoxify itself in one treatment. You will have intense feelings of relief and a sensation of "floating on a cloud."
