Cupping is an effective technique not only for improving muscle tension but also for affecting the musculoskeletal, digestive, and respiratory systems, and overall positively improving immunity during early bacterial and viral attacks. Toxins are removed from body fluids and tissues are better supplied with blood. Depending on the problem, the cups are either placed on certain areas and points or are used as massage tools.

Each cupping session starts with applying a light layer of oil. The cups are afterward placed on the skin, moved, or left to work for a couple of minutes according to the desired effect. Cupping leaves marks on the skin of different colors – from pale through red to dark purple, depending on your circulation. They usually fade away within a couple of days.
