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.

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.

Studies have shown that cupping may improve blood and lymph circulation to the skin and reduce inflammation.

During cupping therapy, a practitioner will place special cups onto your skin to create suction; this pulls the tissue beneath the cups upwards and increases the flow of blood to the area. Cupping is thought to help draw out impurities, facilitate healing, and improve the body’s energy flow. You can choose to have dry cupping (which we’ve described above) or wet cupping, which involves puncturing your skin with sterile needles so that blood is physically drawn out through the suction process.
