CUPPING:

Cupping is an ancient form of therapy and alternative medicine that’s based on the belief that certain health problems can be caused by stagnant blood and a poor energy flow through your body. To fix or prevent those health issues, therapists apply special cups on your skin to create suction.  Usually cups are placed on a person's back where they'll either remain for a short period of time or be moved around using lotion or oil.

The pressure that the cups create draws blood to the affected area, increasing your blood flow to help treat chronic pain (such as back pain and headaches).  Additionally, many people believe that cupping can help with detoxification and relieving inflammation in the affected area.
