Cupping is one of the many modalities of traditional Chinese medicine. Cupping is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to maximize treatment effectiveness. It involves the creation of a vacuum through the application of suction. Usually, the traditional method is done using fire in a cup and applying it to the skin, typically on the area where the pain, tension, or discomfort is experienced.
What are the Therapeutic functions of Cupping in Chinese Medicine?
1. Warming the channels to remove cold (warming the body)
2. Promoting qi and blood circulation (increasing blood movement, causing vasodilation and stimulating blood circulation, therefore increasing metabolism and accelerating the elimination of waste and toxins from the body)

En quoi ça consiste
Most of the appointment is spent mapping out what’s going on in your body and choosing points, then resting with fine needles in place for a stretch — sometimes with heat, cups or electrical stimulation — and you leave with a sense of what was treated and whether more sessions make sense.
