Cupping therapy is the method of using a vacuum inside glass cups to create localised pressure. This procedure induces blood stasis or even blister formation at the site, thereby stimulating the acupuncture points. Cupping is an effective method of treating backache, sprains and soft tissue injuries. It is also a great method for releasing toxins from the body. It triggers the lymphatic system, clears the blood vessels, and stretches and activates the skin.
