Cupping 101

WHAT IS CUPPING 🍶

One of the BEST ancient Chinese medicine, deep-tissue therapies available.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS:

- releases toxins
- clear blockages
- clears out congestion
- move stagnation
- aids in clearing lymphs
- decreases phlegm
- improves tissue mobility
- boosts circulation
- drains excess bloat + fluids
- decreases inflammation
- clears energy to restore balance and wellness

HOW IT WORKS:

The suction of the skin against the glass cups draws old and non-circulating blood away from the area to promote healthy blood flow to be restored in that area

WHO SHOULD GET CUPPING?

If you have any neck/back pain, respiratory issues, a nasty cold/cough, sore or stiff muscles, or anyone looking to improve overall wellness and energy.

DOES IT HURT?

No. It actually feels REALLY good- like a nice deep massage. My back feels looser and way less tense/tight and I immediately felt a release of tension. I’m always hunching over doing makeup or spending hours driving and commuting so this felt really beneficial.

I love exploring different healing modalities like this one and will continue to get this along with acupuncture done 1x a month.

AG HOT TIPS:
- Wear loose fitted clothing and no bra if your a lady
- DON’T use sauna or steam room in the same day
- Don’t get a massage for 48 hours after cupping
- Drink lots of water/fluids after
