Basic description
Cupping, just as other massage types, offers many positive effects on the human body, both locally and entirely.
Cupping opens the skin pores, eliminating skin pollutants out of the body. It improves the tissue mechanism of the skin and cleanses its surface from metabolic waste products. It regenerates the skin and increases its resistance to various harmful effects. During cupping, the blood vessels in the muscles are activated. Consequently, blood circulation is facilitated and the lymphatic circulation is also improved. Cupping has a positive effect on joints as well. It can remove muscle spasms around the affected joint.
Immediately, upon cups application, we can observe the blood movement. The most significant effect of cupping is the blood circulation. Cupping affects both the autonomous and peripheral nervous system. It strengthens one's own defenses and increases immunity. It is suitable for the treatment of pain, diseases of the blood circulation, digestive tract or respiratory system.
