Cupping 拔罐

Cupping therapy involves creating suction on the skin using mostly glasses or plastic cups. Negative pressure or a vacuum is created inside the cup either by applying a flame to the cup to remove oxygen before placing it on the skin or by attaching a suction device to the cup after it is placed on the skin.

This vacuum causes your skin to rise and redden as the blood vessels expand. You might see some red, purple, or light color changes around the cupping area afterwards. The color of the marks depends on your body condition and can last 2-5 days. You might feel mild soreness at the local area sometimes. The above changes are all common and normal after the therapy. 
Cupping therapy is believed to correct the imbalances in energy within the body by restoring the flow of “Qi 氣”. It helps mobilizes blood flow and promote healing and detox.
