How does Cupping Therapy Help for Detoxification?
Often times my clients ask me what cupping therapy does? Instead of explaining the sometimes hard-to-understand theories of traditional Chinese medicine, I often give them a simple answer — detoxification. This is a western concept that I find more relatable nowadays, and is definitely one of the most important functions of cupping therapy. But how does cupping therapy help for detoxification?
What are the benefits of cupping therapy?
As a result of detoxification, cupping helps ease muscle pains, diminishes the swelling in tissues, speeds up metabolism, and strengthens the immune system. Recent researches also show that cupping therapy helps to:
Reduce musculoskeletal pain: lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and fibromyalgia
Induce comfort: muscle relaxation and reduce anxiety
Alleviate digestive problems: Bloating, gastric reflux and constipation conditions
Good for improving recovery: Cough, asthma and common cold
Good for skin issues: Eczema, urticaria, allergic dermatitis
