It is an alternative medicine that has been practiced over decades. In this therapy, the therapist uses a special fiber or glass cup on your body/skin for a couple of minutes in order to create suction.
People are doing cupping therapy for many reasons such as pain relief, pure blood flow, relaxation, inflammation, etc. The cups that are used can be made up of glass, bamboo, silicone, fiber, earthenware.
The modern method of cupping uses rubber pump instead of fire to create a vacuum. Sometimes the therapist uses silicone cups which can be moved from place to place on your skin.
