Suction feels like a deep tissue massage in reverse that stretches the body tissue and removes stagnant fluids.
I remember as a child getting cupping therapy by a medical doctor in the Ukraine for my pneumonia. I remember how the cups sucked my skin,
and I had a lot of them stuck on my back.

How vacuum cupping therapy works?![]() Suction cupping therapy at Tree of Life Acupuncture clinic is administered by placing
glass or plastic jars on the surface of the body to create a vacuum. Plastic cup suction uses a pump that sucks the air out to create vacuum and glass jars use fire to create suction and stay on the body's surface. The vacuum inside the cups causes the blood and toxins to come to the surface and that is the mechanism of healing. |
What are the Cupping Marks?

Cups often produce circular marks from strong suction by breaking capillaries and bringing blood and toxins to the skin surface.
Cupping therapy promotes the increase of blood and energy circulation and reduces pain, trigger points, tightness, increases range of motion and detoxifies the body and organs.
Suction therapeutic action can penetrate deep into the muscle causing the release of harmful toxins and triggering the lymphatic system, clearing the blood vessels, and stretching tight muscles, skin and releasing muscle tightness.
Marks serve as an evaluation tool and tell the practitioner what causes blocked energy.
Redness means heat, usually due to acute or chronic infection. Black marks mean strong blood stagnation or old blood. Purple means moderate blood stagnation.
Blisters on the skin mean there is a lot of toxins and "dampness" in the tissue. If there is no change in the skin color, then the condition is caused by energy (Qi) stagnation.

The circular marks can be reduced according to the patient's preferences and in some cases either do not appear or disappear and fade in from few hours to 3-5 days depending on the body type and the strength of the suction and therapy time.
Deep suction can leave temporary circular, hickey type marks, which is a sign of toxins being released from the tissue.
The quality and intensity of marks determine patient's state of health and toxicity in the body. The darker the marks, the stronger the detox process.

Blood Letting or "Wet" Cupping Therapy

Bloodletting therapy sometimes referred to as "wet cupping" is used for organ and body detoxification and chronic pain and illness.
Wet cupping is done with a prick of a lancet to
a special reflex area and then covered with a cup to
release toxins and blood for severe or chronic pains or diseases.
The main difference between wet and dry cupping is that in wet therapy the blood and toxins is taken out immediately and in regular, the lymphatic system
will eliminate toxins over a few days.
It may take time to warm up to this kind of therapy, but I can tell you from my patient's and personal experience, it is the real deal and works very well for chronic and acute painful conditions, as well as many internal organ problems, high blood pressure, coughing, post flu symptoms, reproductive and skin problems and migraines.
Cupping with blood release is done through tiny incisions made and extracted through the suction cups. This method is often used in our acupuncture style for severe pains or to affect internal organs and move the stagnant blood.
A shallow skin prick with a special needle allows stagnant, old blood to exit and circulation to be restored.
Strong suction draws blood to the surface allowing for stronger detox. It is a great way to
rejuvenate internal organs as well as reduce muscle pain.
Ancient Chinese acupuncture methods refer to bloodletting, and it is done from
special acupoints and can be done without the cups as well.
If you are suffering from chronic, hard to cure disease, bloodletting therapy can be a great treatment option.
* People on blood thinners or with bleeding disorders need to proceed with caution and consult their MD.
