Cupping is a traditional healing practice that has been used for centuries to promote health and well-being. Often performed alongside acupuncture, cupping involves placing plastic or silicone cups directly onto the skin, where a suction is created. This suction acts like a reverse massage, helping to loosen tight muscles and fascia, release toxins, and draw stagnant blood to the surface. The body can then naturally dispose of these impurities, aiding in detoxification and improving overall circulation.

One of the unique aspects of cupping is its ability to target specific areas of the body, including the lungs. When cups are placed over lung acupuncture points, the suction effect helps to “clear” the lungs by drawing out phlegm and dampness that may be lingering after an illness or from smoking. This makes cupping particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from respiratory issues, as it supports the body’s natural healing processes and enhances lung function.
