This effective healing method using glass cups to create localized pressure by a vacuum was used by many ancient cultures particularly in Chinese Medicine. The vacuum inside the cups causes the blood to form in the area and helps the healing process. By applying cupping therapy, blood stasis is formed and localised healing takes place. Meridians (which allow energy to flow through organs and tissue) are opened allowing eergy to travel through the whole body. Another healing aspect is that it affects the body up to four inches into the tissue, releasing toxins, activating the lymphatic system and clearing colon blockages. This is the best deep tissues massage available.
