cupping

This device utilizes negative pressure (suction) to lift and hold skin and underlying tissues within specially designed cups. Typically made of glass, plastic, or silicone, these cups are placed on specific areas of the body, creating a localized pulling sensation. Various sizes of cups cater to different body areas and treatment intensities, while adjustable suction levels offer a customizable therapeutic experience.

Proponents suggest this modality improves blood circulation, reduces muscle tension, and relieves pain. Historically, variations of this technique have been practiced across diverse cultures for centuries, using materials like bamboo, animal horns, or heated glass. Modern devices offer enhanced control, hygiene, and reproducibility compared to traditional methods. The integration of this technology with contemporary healthcare practices continues to evolve, with ongoing research exploring its potential applications and efficacy.
