Another ancient technique used in Egypt, the Middle East and China, traditional sources used cupping to draw out toxins and relieve muscle tension.

​

With cupping, or "distraction", we want to consider 4 basic categories:

​

1. Disorders of the Lung.

2. Soft tissue, nerve injury & pain.

3. Colds & flus.

4. Detoxification.

​

Fire cupping uses a suction created with a controlled flame. The cups are left on, or moved, from anywhere from a moment to 20 minutes and will generally create a round mark.
