What Is Dry Cupping
Dry cupping differs from wet cupping as it does not involve any incisions or bloodletting. Instead, it works by creating suction through the cups, increasing blood flow to the surface of the skin, which stimulates natural healing mechanisms in the body.
Reducing muscle tension and stiffness
Relaxes tight muscles, relieves knots, and improves circulation to enhance comfort and movement.
Alleviating pain and inflammation
Helps decrease discomfort by promoting natural healing, reducing swelling, and improving blood flow.
Enhancing lymphatic drainage
Stimulates the lymphatic system to remove toxins, reduce swelling, and support immune function.
Increasing joint mobility and flexibility
Enhances range of motion, reduces stiffness, and supports better movement for daily activities and sports performance.
