Experts are still exploring how cupping eases pain and disease symptoms and more research is continually being done into this treatement.
Simply put, suction from cupping draws fluid into the treated area. This suction force expands and breaks open tiny blood vessels (capillaries) under the skin.
Your body treats the cupping area like an injury. It sends more blood to the area to stimulate the natural healing process. Some people theorize that cupping clears the pores and releases toxins.
Whilst the cups may feel and look a little strange, the effect of the treatment is amazing!
