What is Cupping?

Cupping is an ancient Chinese method of causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. This draws up the underlying tissues. When the cup left on the skin for a few minutes, blood stasis is in formed and localized healing takes place.

There are five meridians on the back that, when opened, allow invigorating energy to travel the whole length of the body.
