CUPPING THERAPYCupping is an alternative form of medicine that can help treat both mental and physical issues. During a cupping session, your therapist will place cups along different parts of your body. Most commonly, they will be placed on your back and shoulders for three to five minutes. These cups create suction on your skin (hence, the marks resulting from a cupping session). Blood vessels (usually tiny capillaries) along the cup will expand and break open, leading to the classic discoloured marks associated with cupping. As part of the healing process, your body will send oxygen-rich blood to repair the broken blood vessels, treating the cupped area as an injury. So, for example, if you have sore muscles, cupping along the sore spots would help repair them more quickly. Over centuries, cupping has been used for many purposes, including: Conditions that can be Treated Muscle spasms and pain
