Here are the top 10 reasons why you need cupping therapy in your life.
• It’s a trusted form of therapy: Ancient Egyptians would use it as therapy dating clear back to 1,550 B.C., as well as Chinese and Middle Eastern cultures. There’s endless research on the practice, so being able to trust it is a big plus!
• There are different methods.
• Helps reduce pain: If you’re looking for a natural way to reduce joint and muscle pain, cupping is your answer. Cupping has been proven to significantly reduce pain in lower back issues, comparing it to typical treatments like painkiller medication.
• Relax: Instead of getting a massage to relax with minimal benefits, give cupping a try! Cupping can help alleviate physical complaints and sedates the central nervous system, putting you in a mode of utter relaxation. Not only can it relax you, but it can help protect you against anxiety and depression.
• Improves Digestion: If you suffer from irregularity or irritable bowel syndrome, this method may be worth looking into. Since cupping is a stress reliever, this can also lead to a healthy digestive system, since most digestive issues are caused by high amounts of stress.
• Have a healthier complexion: Cupping can help eliminate skin inflammation, causing breakouts from acne or eczema to ease up. To help treat your problem, suction is applied to the affected area, and “nicking” the skin in the process to remove the breakout.
• Anti-aging: Not only does cupping help you feel better, it helps fight off wrinkles and mature skin. Make sure to use products after your treatment, like lotions and essential oils to absorb into your skin and feed it all the nutrients it needs. Even if you’re not worried about aging skin now, your future self will thank you for it!
• Treat your overworked hands: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful condition you acquire when you put too much pressure on them. If you feel numbness or pain in your hands, the suction of the cups could help relieve the discomfort. After the treatment, your hands should feel relieved of pain and weakness.
• Get energized: Forget that cup of coffee in the morning, try cupping! It can be used to improve your energy flow because the bruises caused by the procedure are thought to be the negative energy elements coming to the surface and exiting the body. A detox doesn’t sound like a bad idea to us!
Expert therapist is important
While cupping has shown interesting results in helping people with a host of problems, it must be remembered that any kind of treatment is most helpful in the hands of an expert therapist especially in cases where wet cupping is to be used. This form of cupping that involves drawing of a few drops of blood in carefully controlled conditions must be performed by an experienced healer under sterile conditions to prevent infections.
