CUPPING THERAPY
Fire Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of Traditional Chinese Medicine used to treat internal disease and stimulate the lymphatic and immune systems.
At Detox De-Stress we use Fire Cupping Therapy as a stand-alone treatment or on occasions we combine it with acupuncture or even follow with hijama in some treatments, especially in cases of fertility, weightloss and deep detox treatments.
Cupping therapy is also used for clients who need hijama but are anemic as it does not involve releasing blood.

The therapeutic cupping treatment involves warming and placing glass cups on the skin .By warming the air within the cup which is performed by introducing a flame into the cup once the flame is removed, a vacuum is created allowing the the cup to be applied to the skin. The tissue is drawn up into the cup increasing the blood flow, loosening the fascia, connective tissue, and stimulating the lymphatic and immune systems which will begin to stimulate deep healing throughout the body.
The cups are often placed on the back, neck and shoulders, but can also be placed on the stomach for various gut healing conditions or onto the site of pain or on certain acupoints.
Prior to the cups being applied to the body, the area to be worked on (usually the whole back) is treated with a specialised massage (depending on the level of treatment booked) using assisted tools and techniques to prepare the underlying tissue. and begin lymphatic drainage. This will allow maximum benefit once the cups are applied.
Once removed it is possible the cupping may leave temporary circular marks depending on the degree of suction used and the level of internal stagnation. This is all part of the healing process and should disappear within 7-10 days although on occasions it has been known to take even longer.
Cupping releases tissues deep inside the body, relax tense muscles and eases stiffness associate with chronic back, shoulder and neck pains, migranes rheumatism and fatigue.
Some athletes have been known to use cupping therapy to naturally improve performance and reduce stiffness, muscle cramps, joint pains and scar tissue caused by injuries.
