Cupping therapy is a practice that involves briefly applying rounded inverted cups to certain parts of the body using a vacuum effect. The drawing of the skin inside the cups increases blood flow to the area. Cupping is often recommended as a complementary therapy for the following conditions:
- Back pain
- Headache or migraine
- Knee pain
- Muscle pain and soreness
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Sports injuries and performance
- Bronchial congestion due to the cold or asthma
