The technique begins with the careful placement of cups, which can be made of glass, bamboo, or silicone, on specific areas of the body. These cups are then either heated or have air suction applied to create a vacuum effect. The suction draws the skin and underlying tissues into the cup, enhancing blood circulation and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
Cupping Therapy is particularly beneficial for addressing various conditions, including chronic pain, muscle soreness, and respiratory issues. By improving blood flow and releasing tight muscles, cupping helps to alleviate pain and promote faster recovery. It is also used to support the detoxification process by aiding the removal of toxins from the body.
In Traditional Thai Medicine, Cupping Therapy is deeply connected to the balance of the body’s elements, such as Wind (Vata), Bile (Pitta), and Phlegm (Kapha). The therapy is believed to help harmonize these elements by improving circulation and removing blockages in the energy pathways, known as Sen lines. This balance is crucial for maintaining overall health and preventing the development of diseases.
