Dry Cupping

Dry cupping is a therapeutic practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This process is believed to promote healing by increasing blood flow and relaxing muscles. The cups, typically made of glass, plastic, or silicone, are applied to various areas of the body for several minutes. The suction can leave circular marks on the skin, which usually fade after a few days. Dry cupping is used in alternative medicine for pain relief, inflammation reduction, and relaxation, but scientific evidence regarding its effectiveness varies. Always consult a healthcare professional before trying new treatments.
