Medical cupping

Medical cupping is a therapeutic practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction can help improve blood flow, relieve pain, and promote healing. Typically used in alternative medicine, cups are often made of glass, bamboo, or silicone. The treatment can involve either stationary cups or moving cups along the skin after applying some oil. While many people find it helpful for conditions like muscle pain or tension, scientific evidence on its effectiveness varies. It is important to consult a healthcare professional before trying cupping, especially if you have underlying health issues.
