How cupping therapy works?
Cupping treatment works by creating vacuum using fire or a suction pump, then
a glass or plastic cup is placed on the trigger point, aching muscle, painful spot or an organ.
The suction force from the treatment cup breaks open capillaries under the skin, leaving red,
round marks that resemble bruises but are painless and fade after a week or two.
Cupping with plastic cups uses a pump that sucks the air out to create vacuum and
the glass jars are used with fire to create warming suction and stay on the body's surface.
The vacuum inside the cups causes the blood and toxins to come to the skin
and that is the mechanism of cupping therapy healing.
Think of cupping treatments as an ancient Traditional Chinese Physical Therapy based
on acupuncture and Chinese Medicine energy (Qi) flow.

Fire Cupping Vs Suction Cupping
The major difference between fire and suction cupping is that fire cupping uses heat that penetrates deep into the muscles to warm and stretch them.
Some people prefer fire cupping and say they get better results.
Suction cupping is more about stretching the tissue and better results may be from the fire cupping method as body pores are more open under the heat to release the toxins.
