Introduction
Introduction
☉Cupping therapy is an ancient form of
alternative medicine in which a therapist puts
special cups on your skin for a few minutes to
create suction.
☉Cupping therapy is a form of alternative
medicine in which a local suction is created on
the skin. Cupping has been characterized as
pseudoscience.
Types of cupping
Types of cupping
 There are different methods of cupping, including:
1) Dry
2) Wet
 People get it for many purposes, including to help with
pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being.
 During both types of cupping, your therapist will put a
flammable substance such as alcohol, herbs, or paper in a
cup and set it on fire.
Benefits of

☉Cupping is fairly safe, as long as you go to a trained
health professional. But you could have these side
effects in the area where the cups touch your skin:
1) Mild discomfort
2) Burns
3) Bruises
4) Skin infection
What to Ask Your
Doctor First
What to Ask Your Doctor First
☉Talk with your doctor before you start cupping or any
other type of alternative or complementary medicine. And
talk extensively with your cupping therapist, too, before
you try it. Ask:
1) What conditions do they use cupping for?
2) What is your training?
3) What is your experience in using it?
4) Am I already getting the standard treatments for my
condition?
5) Are there reasons I should not get cupping?
Thanks!
