Do you visit a practitioner or do it yourself like me? Or maybe you have never heard of this ancient holistic healing practice?

I first learned of cupping therapy in RN school over 12 years ago. I have used a few different practitioners over the years but decided to learn the techniques myself so that I could practice cupping in my own home. I utilize dry cupping therapy. I have a plastic cup set with a pump gun and extension tube so that I can cup myself, but you can have someone help with placement and suction. If you wish to take your health into your own hands, you can order high-quality cupping supplies now through Cupping Warehouse!


You can learn a little history about this ancient therapy in the link below. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28494847/


Studies show the numerous benefits of cupping, which include;


  • "It induces comfort and relaxation on a systemic level, and the resulting increase in endogenous opioid production in the brain leads to improved pain control."


  • "Enhances the circulation of blood and to remove toxins and waste from the body."


  • "Known to significantly decrease in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein LDL/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio."


  • "Can significantly lower the number of lymphocytes in the local blood related to the affected area with an increase in the number of neutrophils, which is one of the antiviral mechanisms that reduces the pain scores."


  • Can loosen adhesions and revitalize connective tissue.


  • Increase blood flow to the skin and muscles.


  • Stimulate the peripheral nervous system.


  • Controls high blood pressure and modulates the immune system.


  • There is also a significant reduction in blood sugar in diabetic patients after cupping.
