Cupping/cupping therapy

Cupping is one of the oldest performing methods in naturopathy. By placing glass heads on the skin, a negative pressure is generated which stimulates blood flow and lymph flow. The tissue is intensively perfused, metabolic processes are activated, and the body can better decompose tensions and slag substances. Depending on the application, cupping is performed gently or vigorously – as a punctual technique or in the form of a cupping head massage. It can be relaxing, disinfecting or stimulating and supports the body in its natural regulation.

How cupping works

The negative pressure generated draws blood and tissue fluid into the upper skin layers. This improves microcirculation and cell metabolism. Old deposits can be released, muscles relieved and the immune system activated. Cupping also has a reflective effect on internal organs and can relieve pain or tension caused by muscular or fascial tension.

When cupping can be helpful

• Back, neck and shoulder tension
• chronic muscle and joint pain
• for headaches, migraines and muscle hardening
• for circulation promotion and detoxification support
• Exhaustion, stress or internal restlessness
