Suction is the basic concept of cupping. Traditionally small cups or jars (usually made from glass or bamboo) are heated from the inside with fire to create a vacuum and then placed on the body. The cups are heated and placed onto the skin to begin suction and are left on the body for at least fifteen minutes, however, the treatment can be much longer. Today, this technique can be done with a suctioning pump which allows more regulation of the suction created. In either case, the placement of the suctioning device is crucial. There are numerous acupuncture spots, but the professional will know exactly which spots to place a cup on to help relieve your pain or they can be placed around a specific problem region.. It was thought in ancient China that by stimulating these areas, you could rid the body of negative energies like diseases and pain. Some people believe that cupping will open up the lungs and you’ll be able to let out all the toxins through your breathing and through your skin pores. You will find that it can make breathing easier for you. It is also believed to draw the cold and dampness out of your system, creating a healthier body overall.

There have been researches done to show and prove that there are a lot of real benefits from cupping and it’s not just an old wives tale. Cupping helps stimulate the blood vessels in an affected area, drawing out old blood that settles in a bruise or otherwise pained area makes room for new blood, which brings along with it a fresh supply of oxygen, since it is creating a better environment, you will find that the tissues will begin to repair themselves hastening the healing process of the damaged area.

You will want to keep in mind that cupping is not right for everyone. You will find that if you are pregnant you should be very careful with cupping and it shouldn’t be done where there are open sores or wounds. You will find that the cupping process cannot be done where there is excess hair or on body parts that have different angles and surfaces. When you begin cupping you will begin to see large bruises from the cupping this in itself is proof that the cupping is working, you will also be aware that these bruises will usually disappear within a week or so.
