This therapy can be used for clinical or cosmetic purposes and is usually very relaxing. Cupping can be considered a ‘reverse massage’, separating and lifting the tissues to pull toxins and dead cells up into the subcutaneous layers (skin), these are then removed by the lymph system. Cups can be used over acupuncture points and trigger points to release muscles or across whole meridian systems to stimulate the body’s energy flow and the combination of massage followed by cups placed over the areas of tension and stagnation is used to have a very strong healing effect on the body.
