CUPPING
This very safe and useful modality is great for local healing purposes.
A vacuum is created in cups by using either fire or suction and then are placed on skin. This draws up the underlying tissues resulting in the opening of skin pores, stimulating blood flow, balancing Qi flow, breaking up obstructions, and creating an avenue for toxin elimination. This is the best deep tissues massage available and it can feel soooo good.
Though cupping is primarily used to treat respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, and congestion it can also be used to treat arthritis, gastrointestinal disorders, pain, depression and the reduction of swelling.

In order to get the full detox benefits, make sure you rest after each treatment. Do not engage in drugs, alcohol, sex, fasting, binging, hard labor, or strenuous exercises for the rest of the day.
Make sure you drink plenty of warm water for the next couple of days to keep the body hydrated so the body can properly eliminate toxins released during the treatment.
Finally, make sure that you keep warm ensuring your body’s increased metabolism and self-healing process continues to work well. So, avoid wind, sudden changes in temperature, taking cold showers or drinking cold drinks.
