Cupping glass

A cupping glass is a specialized container used in therapy to create a suction on the skin. By placing air inside the glass and then applying it to the skin, the suction lifts the tissue slightly. This technique is believed to promote blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and support healing. Cupping glasses are often used in traditional medicine practices and can vary in size. The suction is typically created manually or with a pump. While generally safe when performed correctly, it can leave temporary circle marks on the skin and should be done by trained professionals.
