Fire cupping is an ancient Chinese method of acupressure which follows the principles of acupuncture, with the use of cups instead of needles. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin by means of heat.
Cupping is useful for: stress and pain reduction, deep tissue work, boosting the body’s immune system, activating the lymphatic system, and indigestion/clearing colon blockages. Cupping is used in concert with Myomassology treatments as well as Raindrop Therapy and Relax/Detox Massage.
Acupressure deals with all the aspects of a person as a whole: body, emotions, mind, and spirit as one, not as separate parts. Acupressure uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body's life force to aid healing.
