Cupping uses glass or silicone cups placed on the skin like suction cups. It encourages the flow of Qi (energy) through the points of the meridians, supports the wellbeing of the skin and digestion, and helps to clear cold and dampness from the body, with effects that are often felt straight away.
It can mobilise stagnation in the body, relaxing the muscles and “drawing out” tension, including psychological tension, and pain.
