Synopsis

Dry cupping has been used for millennia to treat every kind of health problem. Is it right for you?



Practiced in ancient China, the Middle East, and Greece, dry cupping is when a glass cup is heated with flame and then placed against the skin, creating a powerful suction that draws healthy blood to the surface. That and other types of cupping will be explored in this comprehensive book. You’ll also learn about complementary treatments therapists often use, such as acupuncture, herbs, and aromatherapy.

Is dry cupping supported by science? There’s limited research, so many doctors are skeptical, but therapists and patients report many benefits from the treatment. This seemingly-simple technique can help treat a wide variety of conditions, including:

  • Migraine headaches
  • Muscle soreness
  • Diabetes
  • Period cramps
  • Colds and congestion
  • Cellulite


What do you need for dry cupping? The traditional glass cup-and-fire method is often replaced with rubber, plastic, or silicone cupping, which does not require fire. These cups are much more flexible and safer. Cupping sets are available from a variety of outlets, even Amazon. You’ll also need massage oil, clean towels, and the proper cleaning products to sanitize cups after use. Maintaining good hygiene is essential for cupping.

The bulk of this book is devoted to step-by-step guides on dry cupping for a variety of health problems. You’ll learn about the different cupping strengths, pressure points, and how cupping draws out toxins and restores the body’s qi, or its life force. Charts of the different points make it easy to identify what points to target.

Have you suffered with pain, nosebleeds, skin issues, or another condition for a long time? Have traditional Western treatments like medications done little to help? An alternative treatment like dry cupping may be the answer you’ve been looking for!
