Cupping therapy is an ancient practice where special cups are placed on the skin and suction is created, either by heat (fire cupping) or mechanical suction (vacuum cupping). The suction lifts the tissue, promoting blood flow, loosening fascia, and releasing tension. It is used in both TCM and sports medicine.

Cupping is generally not painful: most people describe a pulling or tight sensation followed by warmth and relaxation. The circular marks left on the skin can look dramatic but are not bruises and typically fade within 3–7 days.

Cupping can relieve muscle tension and pain, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, aid recovery from sports injuries, help with respiratory conditions, and promote deep relaxation. The characteristic circular marks left after cupping fade within days.

Because the suction created by cupping draws blood to the skin’s surface, you’re likely to experience some discoloration or bruising. It will take anything from a few hours to two weeks for these to disappear completely. You can get rid of the marks more quickly by drinking water and resting.

Cupping aims to eliminate toxins and clear blockages in your body’s energy flow. You’re likely to see this more physically if you opt for wet cupping, a process that punctures the skin with needles and applies the cups to draw out blood. It’s thought that wet cupping can help the kidneys remove heavy metals from your body.
