💮 BRUISE VS. CUPPING MARK 💮
A very common misconception regarding a surprisingly, beneficial after effect of Cupping, is the marks it may leave behind.
Bruises appear when the body experiences some kind of blunt injury or trauma. The impact can break the blood capillaries present under the skin, which is why you see the redness. The body responds to the injuries with a rush of healing fluids to the area that also contribute to the bruising, redness and pain.
Many people believe that Cupping Marks are bruises and that they are sore and tender which is not true. Unfortunately these marks can put people off trying a cupping session altogether!
In actual fact Cupping marks are harmless, painless, temporary and not classified as ‘bruises’ as there is no impact trauma. The ‘vacuum effect’ formed by Cupping draws up the old non-circulating stagnant blood, toxins and fluids from the area, bringing them up to the surface and so that healthy circulation can be restored.
The most important differentiating factor is the cupping marks do not cause pain and if there is any discomfort, it is minimal and goes away quickly.
