Cupping is one of those techniques you don’t hear about every day. It’s an ancient form of alternative medicine, using cups as suction on select parts of your body to reduce pain, inflammation in muscles, and relaxation. The thought of cups attached to your body can sound scary, but don’t worry, because it’s only for a few minutes with minimal pain!
Here are the top reasons why you need cupping therapy in your life:
- Helps reduce pain: If you’re looking for a natural way to reduce joint and muscle pain, cupping is your answer. Cupping has been proven to significantly reduce pain in lower back issues, comparing it to typical treatments like painkiller medication.
- Relax: Instead of getting a massage to relax with minimal benefits, give cupping a try! Cupping can help alleviate physical complaints and sedates the central nervous system, putting you in a mode of utter relaxation. Not only can it relax you, but it can help protect you against anxiety and depression.
- Improves Digestion: If you suffer from irregularity or irritable bowel syndrome, this method may be worth looking into. Since cupping is a stress reliever, this can also lead to a healthy digestive system, since most digestive issues are caused by high amounts of stress.
- Kick that cold in the butt: There’s nothing worse than having a cold and taking endless over-the-counter medicine that doesn’t work. Before you reach for the doctor, try cupping instead. Cupping helps improve immune function by moving blood and lymphatic fluid throughout the body, which will help you get over those allergies or an annoying cough.
- Have a healthier complexion: cupping can help eliminate skin inflammation, causing breakouts from acne or eczema to ease up. To help treat your problem, suction is applied to the affected area, and “nicking” the skin in the process to remove the breakout.
