What is cupping?
Cupping is an ancient form of traditional chinese medicine that can be performed on the face or body. Suction cups are used to increase blood circulation and stimulate the lymphatic system.
What is the difference between body & facial cupping?
Cupping on the body is used to alleviate aches and pains. The cups are applied to specific areas & left on for longer periods of time. The bruising or cupping marks left behind indicate stagnant blood, these marks fade as your lymphatic system clears out toxins.
Facial cupping is a type of massage using smaller glass & silicone suction cups with continuous movement so there are no cupping marks left behind.
