Cupping
Cups are placed on the skin to create suction during cupping therapy. It is thought that this suction will enhance the body’s energy flow and facilitate healing.
Cupping therapy may help with the following conditions:
- Arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis
- Breathing problems, such as asthma
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Back pain, neck pain, knee pain and shoulder pain
- Headaches and migraines
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel disease (IBD)
