Cupping Barrington

Cupping is an ancient form of alternative medicine where a specialist uses unique cups on skin to create suction. These suction cups are usually made of glass, bamboo or silicone. Cupping therapy has many benefits like decreasing inflammation, increasing blood flow and relaxation of the muscles. The suction cups can also be applied to the major acupuncture points, by doing so the acupuncturist can effectively treat digestive issues, skin issues like acne and many other conditions with cupping. There aren’t many side effects with cupping therapy. You may experience sweating or nausea during your treatment.

Cupping therapy is not new, it has been used to treat medical conditions for many centuries going back to Egyption, Chinese and Middle Eastern old cultures.
