Cupping Therapy Training Course

Cupping is one of the oldest & most effective methods of releasing toxins from the body’s  tissues and organs. Other terms for cupping are: fire cupping, body vacuuming, & the horn method. 

Cupping is the practice of applying a partial vacuum by means of heat or suction in one or several bell-shaped vessels (suction cups) to parts of the skin. This causes the tissues beneath the cup to be drawn up & swell, increasing blood flow to the affected area.  This enhanced blood flow under the cup draws impurities & toxins away from the nearby tissues & organs towards the surface for elimination. The time the suction cups are left in place varies according to the client's age & physical constitution, & the medical disorder being treated. 

Cupping is a safe, non-invasive & inexpensive technique. It's used to alleviate the pain & discomfort arising from disorders of the lungs & other internal organs,muscle spasms, joint pains, & numerous other conditions.
