Description

Cupping is usually performed by introducing heat into a glass cup or similar object and placing it immediately on the skin.The vacuum created produces a suction effect that increases blood circulation to the local area, relaxes muscle tissue and releases the factors causing pain.The effect of this is to encourage the flow of Qi and blood in the area beneath the cup. By moving the Qi and blood, local stagnation can be cleared. The Cupping action on the nervous system is sedating, and clients will often descend into a profound state of relaxation.The compliment of a deep snore is commun!
