Chinese Traditional Cupping

Cupping is an Ancient Chinese Therapy, the cups are applied to the skin. Cupping started around 281 AD.



Because of the cups pressure it holds the skin so the superficial muscles go inside the cups. Sometimes the cups get moved around so this is called Gliding cupping. They place oil over the body first it they want to go gliding cupping. The cups can be placed in a certain acupuncture or other wise points that are being affected or sore. 



Cupping is normally performed or done on the back of your body. Glass cups are generally used. They might use Bamboo cups but that is rare. The cups stay on your body for 10 to 15 minutes and by that time your back with be purple.
