Cupping is an excellent therapy and promotes good health and detoxifies the body. Cups are placed on specific areas of the body, then lightly suctioned and left on for a few minutes before removing. The method involves scratching the superficial layer of the skin with a surgical lancet. The scratches made are shallow and are not visible to the naked eye. A vacuum cup is applied on the area and few milliliters of toxic blood are suctioned out of the small incisions, thus promoting a relaxing detoxifying experience.
