Cupping has been used throughout history to improve overall health. Benefits include:
Encouraging circulation of both blood and lymphatic fluid
Alleviating adhesions (tissues adhered to each other that are normally separated)
Helping to clear congestion
Helping to alleviate stagnation, including releasing interstitial debris - old blood deposits from injury or surgery, cellular waste not cleared from the lymphatic system, metabolic waste (such as lactic acid), medications, chemical toxins, imbedded foreign objects
Reducing inflammation
Helping break up scar tissue
Encouraging the growth of new healthy blood vessels where they are lacking and needed for tissue health
