DRY CUPPING:-
Using cups to induce suction on the skin, cupping is a form of complementary therapy. It is believed that this suction will enhance the body's energy flow and promote healing. Eber's papyrus (1550 B.C.) from Ancient Egypt is one of the earliest medical writings to describe cupping therapy, while cupping is a component of many other ancient healing systems, including Chinese, Unani, traditional Korean, and Tibetan. Hippocrates, a Greek physician regarded as the "father" of medicine, wrote descriptions of cupping procedures. Nowadays, Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners frequently use cupping therapy as a form of treatment. Suction, according to proponents, aids in the body's "qi" (life force) flow. The Chinese word for life force is qi. Many people think that cupping balances the body's yin and yang, or the negative and positive, forces. It is believed that reestablishing equilibrium between these two extremes will improve the body's capacity to enhance blood flow and lessen discomfort, as well as its ability to resist pathogens.The process of cupping improves blood flow to the area where the cups are applied. This could ease muscular tension, which would encourage cell regeneration and enhance general blood flow. Additionally, it might support the development of new blood vessels and connective tissues in the tissue. People use cupping as an additional kind of treatment for a variety of symptoms and ailments.
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF CUPPING THERAPY?
Although there are no harmful adverse effects of cupping therapy, some patients may suffer nausea, perspiration or lightheadedness, minor stiffness in the areas where cupping is utilised, and minimal pain. As cupping may exacerbate skin disorders like eczema, be sure your practitioner is aware of any such conditions. You can anticipate little bruising where the cups were inserted after cupping therapy. Since every patient is unique, the symptoms they encounter after cupping will vary.Consult your doctor to determine whether cupping therapy is appropriate for you.
