Indulgence for body and mind
Cupping is a practice used in traditional medicine that involves creating suction on the skin using a glass. Negative pressure is created in the cup by applying a flame to the cup to remove oxygen before placing it on the skin.
Cupping therapy might be trendy now, but it’s not new. It dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. One of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, describes how the ancient Egyptians used cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C.
Generally, cupping is used to treat:
Chronic pain
Back pain
Headaches
Musculoskeletal pain
all of which are often physical manifestations of chronic stress. We are often tensing our muscles when we are stressed—especially when we are hunched over our computers and our phones and that muscle tension can result in physical pain, which is what cupping helps reduce.
