Cupping
This was made famous in the west by Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham . Cupping is generally recommended for the treatment of pain, gastrointestinal disorders, lung diseases ( especially chronic cough and asthma) and paralysis, although it does have application for other problems. Cupping works by promoting blood circulation within the targeted tissues. It has been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues , causing the tissues to release toxins, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, activate and clear the veins, arteries and capillaries, activate the skin, clear stretch marks, and improve the appearance of varicose veins. Where there is free flow of blood supply there will be healing.The procedure of Cupping involves warming a rounded cup and placing it upside-down over a part of the body. This placement creates a suction effect that holds the cup to the skin, and in turn helps boost circulation. It is pain free and deeply relaxing. It can be used on adults and children alike.
