Traitement des ventouses
The cupping treatment is a traditional technique of treatment with heat with hot suction that first appeared in Egypt , then in Ancient Greece and survived till our days through the traditional Chinese medicine.
It is usually combined with the classic Swedish massage but can be integrated in treatments with Moxa, Deep Tissue & Shiatsu. This technique uses negative pressure that is created either through the flame (in the glass suction cups ), or through a pump (in the suction cups with a valve ) in order to cause suction of the skin as a result increasing the blood flow locally.
Beneficial properties of the Cupping treatment:
- Muscle and articular pains.
- They are ideal for the simple cold because they benefit the lungs as they mobilize the fluids and cast away harmful factors.
- They benefit the skin because blood vessels and the sweat glands are activated as a result skin respiration and hydration is enhanced and toxins are cast away.
- They mobilize the lymph.
- They help in losing weight.
- They increase the metabolism because of intense activity of the cells from the increased blood flow.
- They accelerate the healing of injured tissues because the production of collagen and elastin is favoured due to the increased oxygenation that is created from the suction.
- They offer a feeling of elation through heat.
To whom does it address?

Does Cupping treatment hurt?
