MediCupping

imageCupping has long been used in Asian medicine to physically move stagnated blood and fluids from joints and muscles and allow fresh blood, nutrients, and fluids to move into the area.  This helps relieve pain from injuries, new or old.  Cupping has also been used in a similar fashion to move congestion out of the lungs and help break up phlegm that is trapped, making breathing and expellation of phlegm easier.  MediCupping expands the use of traditional fire or pump cupping by making an easier and more controllable suction for the cups, by way of a vacuum machine.  With many size cups from very large to very tiny, cupping can now be used for the traditional uses, as well as new applications such as speeding athlete recovery times, loosening joints for mobility issues, and even facial and skin rejuvenation and the lessening of scar lines.  MediCupping has a versatility that is not found in the traditional cupping and has less chance of marking the skin as well.
