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. In only a few minutes blood
stasis is formed and localized healing takes place. Possible minor
wheals or "cup kisses" can appear after the treatment, which
generally disappear within 48 hours.
