Cupping therapy is an alternative form of medicine and is also known as a traditional Chinese Medicine. The basic idea behind cupping therapy is to place plastic cups on the client's skin to create a suction/vacuum, so the blood is drawn to the surface of the skin in specific parts of the body that need healing. Since cupping therapy also promotes a more efficient drainage of the lymph nodes, these toxins are quickly eliminated from the body. Cupping is also known to ease the cords connecting the skin and muscle. In this way, fluid build-up is reduced and the skin develops a more cellulite-free healthy appearance.
