FAQ'S Fire CUPPING THERAPY

fire cupping

Is cupping safe?

Most experts agree that cupping is safe. As long as those treated don't mind the circular discolourations (which fade over a number of days or weeks), side effects tend to be limited to the pinch experienced during skin suction.

Does cupping release toxins?

Cupping invigorates local circulation of Qi and blood in the area being treated, resolving swelling, pain, and tension. By drawing impurities to the surface, it removes toxins. From a Western physiology perspective, cupping loosens connective tissue or fascia and stimulated blood flow to the surface.

Is cupping better than massage?

Deep tissue massage by itself is great for releasing knots and tension, but when it's combined with acupuncture, you will get even more relief as the skin, muscle and blood vessels are stretched and massaged before being relaxed back into their normal position.

Cupping draws stagnant fluids toward the surface, assisting with detoxification, and it brings in fresh nutrient-rich blood. Cupping provides a gentle sustained stretch for loosening tight muscles and connective tissue adhesions. 


Chinese fire cupping therapy is also great for digestive problems and also anxiety,  as it relaxes the diaphragm

Who should not get cupping?

You should also forego cupping if you have: Bleeding disorders like haemophilia. Blood clotting problems, DVT or history of strokes. Skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis.
