Cupping is an ancient technique where suction cups are placed on the
skin; a pump is activated to remove the air. The cups can be used
stationary, or as moving "massage" cups.
The essential point of cupping therapy is not only to withdraw
stagnant, old blood within the skin, but also to remove toxin
build-up and acids. With massage cupping, fresh blood is drawn in
the area to restore proper blood flow.
