Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy is a natural healing method that has been practiced for thousands of years. Its roots lie in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but it was also used in ancient Egypt and other cultures. By creating gentle suction with glass or silicone cups, cupping stimulates blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, and balances the nervous system. For centuries, it has been considered an effective natural therapy for health issues ranging from pain relief to strengthening the immune system.
