Cupping is an ancient technique that has been adopted by many civilisations throughout history. Traditional ‘cups’ made from bamboo or glass are placed on the body by creating a vacuum within the cup using a small flame. The effect of this will promote the flow of Qi & Blood beneath the cup and thus clear local stagnation.

Cupping draws blood to the external capillaries of the body, and as a result minor bruises may be left after treatment. These will disappear within a few days
