Cupping therapy is the name of the actual procedure itself. A vacuum is created in a cup and placed on the body. This vacuum causes a negative pressure and pulls the muscles into the cup and therefore, draws the blood to the cupped area. This is known as “dry cupping”.

Cupping ( also known as Hijama) is of three types: 

Dry cupping - This is the process of using a vacuum on different areas of the body in order to gather the blood in that area without incisions.  

Dry massage cupping – This is similar to dry cupping  but oil is applied to the skin (before applying the cups) in order to allow easy movement of the cups during the massage.

Wet cupping (Al-Hijama) This is the process of using a vacuum at different points on the body but with incisions (small, light scratches using a razor) in order to remove 'harmful' blood which lies just beneath the surface of the skin. (It is recommended that wet cupping (hijama) is only administered by a cupping therapist and is curruntly NOT being offered).

Cupping treatments options include: Baguanfa TM Silicone Cups, Kangzhu Biomagetic Cups, Belletazze TM Facial Cup, and EarthSpa Bells TM.

Other Cultures Practice Cupping Therapy too

Cupping therapy has been practiced for centuries globally. The first documented medical text was found in 1550 BC in Egypt. Cupping was also discovered in China over 5,000 years ago and is still practiced to this day. It was commonly practiced in the Roman Empire, Islamic Empire, Europe, Russia, Central Asia, South Asia and USA. It was very popular during the middle ages and 18th and 19th Centuries in Europe.
