Increases Circulation
The suction from the cups increases circulation to the area where the cups are placed. The additional blood flow to that area can help relieve muscle tension and promote cell repair. Increasing circulation with cupping also helps to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Encourages Tissues to Release Toxins
Cupping gives your body a boost in releasing those toxins. Focused blood flow helps your body by flushing built-up toxins through the lymphatic system. (Your lymphatic system is responsible for eliminating your body’s toxins and waste.)

Reduces Anxiety
When your therapist glides the cups across your skin, your parasympathetic nervous system engages. This promotes deep relaxation to move through your entire body. (Your parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for slowing your heart rate, assisting in digestion, and increasing intestinal and gland activity.)

Reduce Stretch Marks and Scars
Increased blood flow enables your body to dispose of toxins, restores lymphatic circulation, and helps remove edema (excess fluid), which helps reduce the appearance of scarring. Studies have shown the positive effects of cupping on stretch marks and scars even in areas that are far from the area where the cups are applied.

Improve Varicose Veins and Spider Veins
Varicose veins look like bulging, bluish veins just under your skin, usually on legs and feet. They happen when the valves inside the vein aren’t working properly—the valves don’t effectively push the blood from the muscle back to the heart, so the blood congests and the veins twist and bulge. Cupping helps by bringing fresh blood flow and oxygen back to the problem areas.

Clear Congestion and Help Treat Asthma
The suction from cups breaks up and expels congestion, caused by a cold, bronchitis, or even asthma. It brings oxygen rich blood and lymph toward your lungs and your other respiratory muscles. Facial cupping can also be used to help unblock your sinuses.

Clear Colon Blockages and Aid Digestion
Cupping helps to engage the parasympathetic nervous system, which increases blood flow to the digestive tract. Gentle cupping over the abdomen also stimulates the insides of your digestive organs. It aids in peristalsis (contractions that push food through your digestive tract), helps clear colon blockages, encourages blood and body-fluid to move through your organs, and helps relieve indigestion.

Body Cupping

1. Apply massage oil to the area you’ll be treating. You can do this in the shower if you prefer.
   
2. Choose your starting area and place the cup on your skin.
   
3. Gently squeeze to create a vacuum. You’ll feel the pull on your skin.
   
4. Release your squeeze and slide the cup back and forth or in a circular motion.
   
5. Continue this motion for 10 to 15 minutes per area.
   
6. Repeat two to three times per week as long as you continue treatment.

Face Cupping
Which Size Cups to Use

Smaller cups work best on sensitive areas, including under your eyes and eyebrows, along your nose and T-zone, and around your mouth. Larger cups work best on larger areas of skin, such as your forehead, cheeks, and along your jaw.

Directions

1. Wash your face and gently pat dry.
   
2. Lightly massage your face with your hands to release preliminary tension.
   
3. Although face oils are optional, applying a light layer to your skin may help decrease your risk of bruising as you move the cups.
   
4. Start by applying a small cup to your chin and around your mouth. Leave the cup in place for few seconds and then move upward to a new area. Swap smaller cups for larger cups as needed, like when you get to your forehead. Continue until you have successfully cupped all desired areas.
   
5. If you used a face oil, cleanse your face and pat dry. Otherwise, use a splash of warm water to reopen your pores.
   
6. Continue with your beauty or skin care routine. Facial cupping is said to increase product absorption, so now’s the time to apply.
   
7. We recommend using your cups for a few minutes 3 times a week for 6 to 12 weeks on and then off for results to stick. However, results can be seen after just 1 treatment. You will notice a lifted, sculpted look immediately.
