reduces swelling and pain and detoxes the body by removing stagnant blood.

How cupping therapy works?
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 suction cupping uses a pump that sucks the air out to create vacuum and glass cupping 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 produces circular marks from strong suction by breaking capillaries and bringing blood and toxins to the skin surface and thus promoting blood and energy circulation and reducing pain, trigger points, tightness, increasing range of motion and detoxing the body.
The cupping suction 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 trigger points.
Cupping 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 means strong blood stagnation or old blood. Purple means moderate blood stagnation.
Blisters on the skin means 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 and not blood.
The cupping marks can be reduced according to patient's preferences and in some cases either do not appear or disappear and fade in 1 to 3 days depending on the body type and the strength of the suction.
Cupping therapy can leave temporary circular, hickey type marks, which is a sign of broken capillaries. It is also the evidence of toxins being released from the tissue.
The quality and intensity of cupping marks determines patient's state of health and toxicity in the body. The darker the marks, the stronger detox process.

Cupping for Muscle Tension and pain
Vacuum cupping is a form of ancient physical therapy that promotes health and wellness. Many people deeply relax during their cupping sessions, reduce stress, anxiety and muscle tension in our Manhattan clinic.
Wet Cupping and Dry Cupping Therapy
Three types of cupping. Fire, Vacuum Cupping and Wet Cupping
Fire cupping is done with glass sets and vacuum suction done with plastic suction cups.
Fire cupping keeps aching muscles warm with trapped heat
underneath and adds additional therapeutic properties.
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 cupping the blood is taken out immediately. Wet cupping is done with a tiny incision done on the skin with either a raizor or tree edged acupuncture needle or lancet.

Dry suction cupping is done with suction cups and toxins accumulated at the surface of the skin will often leave a hickey type reddish, purple or bluish circular mark (blood and toxins drawn to the surface) which will be eliminated by the body through lymphatic circulation or urination and bowel movement.

Fire Cupping
After the air is removed (by either air pump or fire) the jars or cups create
a powerful suction by stretching the tissue.
The vacuum created by suction cups reduces pain and releases tension,
increasing energy and blood circulation in the muscles as well as reduces trigger points, loosens up the muscles and creates flow of energy in
acupuncture meridians and body and helps organs receive blood and vital energy.

Cupping therapy has been administered by Acupuncturists and Chinese Medicine Practitioners since ancient times by using heat inside glass or bamboo cups.
At our NYC acupuncture clinic in Manhattan, we use plastic cups and suction cupping sets to create vacuum and powerful and effective treatments.

Strong cupping marks
Our office uses cupping as a stand alone therapy or as an addition to acupuncture for clients with chronic tension or trigger points or internal problems like coughing, reproductive pains, back pain etc. Cupping is also a good alternative to people with fear or intolerance of acupuncture needles. Stronger effect is reached if cupping is
combined with acupuncture in a single session.
Chinese cupping treatments are great for pains, muscle stiffness and tightness. It can be also a great form of therapy to transition to or combine with acupuncture treatments. One can look at cupping as a form of Chinese physical therapy that relieves tight muscles and balances internal organs.

Blood Letting or "Wet" Cupping Therapy
Blood letting cupping therapy or sometimes referred to as "wet cupping" is used for organ and body detoxification and chronic pain and illness.
Prophet Mohammad referred to wet cupping called Hijama as a "cure for many diseases and one of the best medicines".
It may take time to warm up to it, 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 with a lancet 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 prick with a lancet or diabetic needle allows stagnant, old blood to exit and circulation to be restored.
Strong suction cup 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 blood letting, and it is done from
special acupuncture points and can be done without the suction cupping at all.
If you are suffering from chronic, hard to cure disease, blood letting therapy can be a great treatment option.
* People on blood thinners or with bleeding disorders need to proceed with caution and consult their MD.
