The Role Of Cupping Therapy In Beverly Hills

By William Whiting


Cupping therapy is a type of alternative medicine. A therapist places cups on the skin of a patient for some time so as to create suction. It is performed for purposes of pain reduction, enhancing blood flow, relaxation, and deep-tissue massage. Cups used during cupping therapy in Beverly Hills can be made of earthware, glass, silicone, and bamboo. This kind of healing dates back to the times of Middle Eastern, Chinese and Egyptian cultures.

The two main categories of this technique are wet and dry cupping. In both categories, flammable items like herbs, alcohol or paper are used. During the initial stages of the procedure, any of the aforementioned substance is placed inside a cup after which the fire is started. When the fire is about to go out, a warm cup is placed on the part of the body that is already injured. As the air within the cup cools, it contracts hence forming a vacuum. Cup is left to rest on the skin surface for three minutes.

Modern therapists rarely start fire within the cup. They use more advanced facilities such as rubber pump when creating vacuum. This method cannot be successful if a vacuum is not created since suction cannot occur without it. In case a cup made of silicon is moved over the surface of individual receiving treatment repeatedly, he or she feels as if being massaged.

Wet cupping is the most preferred type of this treatment method. Tiny and even small cuts are performed on the body of individual receiving treatment. This is performed after other working tools are removed from the surface. Blood is removed during the second suction. Initial session is accomplished with the help of either three or five cups. During this important procedure antibiotic ointments and even bandages are used so as to prevent infection. A patient recovers after a round 10 minutes.

It is believed that wet cupping plays an essential role of removing toxins and other harmful substances from the body with intention of promoting healing. During needle cupping, the practitioner commences the process by first inserting acupuncture needles into the skin after which cups are placed over them. Although there is no strong evidence to prove this technique heals, people believe that it can help when it comes to herpes zoster, acne, and pain management.

The technique is commonly used during the treatment of conditions such as joint and even muscle pain. There are people who believe that the technique is more effective compared to other modern treatment technique and that is why they like it. It cures cancer pain, neck pain, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism and chronic back pain.

This type of alternative medicine is highly used by athletes to enhance their performance and reduce joint pains, muscle cramps, and stiffness caused by injuries. The technique usually targets soft tissues by simply applying pressure on swelling areas and pain points. This makes the blood to flow excellently within the vessels hence making the tissues to receive the required oxygen and nutrients.

The main intention of this kind of treatment is to allow energy to flow through the channels to required or injured body parts. Practitioners use needles, suctioning and even pressure to make this possible. Common cold, acne, skin inflammation and cellulite are some of condition that can be cured by this treatment technique.
