Cupping is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This draws blood to the surface, improving circulation, reducing pain, releasing muscle tension, and promoting the body's natural detoxification process.

If you've seen athletes at the Olympics with circular marks on their skin, that's cupping. It's effective for back pain, neck and shoulder tension, athletic recovery, headaches, and respiratory conditions. The marks typically fade within a few days and are a sign that stagnation has been released from the tissue.

For facial rejuvenation, I use a gentler version to sculpt, contour, and promote lymphatic drainage.
