Cupping Therapy has been used for thousands of years by medical practitioners around the world . Ancient cultures utilized different instruments from nature for their cups such as horns and bones from animals, bamboo, or shells. When cups are placed on the skin, the superficial muscle layer is drawn up into the cup, which stimulates the circulation of blood, breaks up adhesions, and creates a pathway for toxins to be drawn out through the lymphatic system. Cupping can affect tissue up to four inches deep-impacting vessels, muscle and scar tissue.
