Wet Cupping

Benefits of Wet Cupping

1. Detoxification

Wet cupping is thought to help remove stagnant or congested blood, supporting the body’s natural cleansing processes.

2. Pain Relief

Many people use wet cupping to reduce chronic pain, such as:

• Back pain

• Shoulder tension

• Migraines

• Joint pain

The removal of toxins and improved blood flow can help ease discomfort.

3. Improved Circulation

By drawing out stagnant blood, the body naturally brings fresh, oxygen-rich blood to the area, promoting healing.

4. Reduced Inflammation

Wet cupping may help decrease inflammation, making it useful for people with conditions that cause swelling or stiffness.

5. Boosted Immunity

Some practitioners believe wet cupping stimulates the immune system, helping the body fight illness more effectively.

6. Stress Relief

Just like other cupping methods, the process can feel relaxing and can help reduce tension throughout the body.

7. Potential Benefits for Skin Health

Some people find that wet cupping helps with acne, eczema, or skin congestion due to improved blood flow and toxin removal.

Cupping therapy is a traditional healing technique that uses gentle suction to lift the skin and tissues. This suction helps increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. It has been used for thousands of years in many cultures, including Chinese, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European medicine.

During a cupping session, special cups made of glass, silicone, or plastic are placed on the skin. The suction draws the skin slightly upward, allowing tight muscles to relax and improving circulation in the area.

Wet cupping, also known as Hijama, is a traditional therapeutic technique where suction cups are applied to the skin and then small, controlled incisions are made to draw out a small amount of blood. This process is believed to help remove stagnant blood, toxins, and inflammation from the body.

The treatment is carried out using sterile equipment and is performed by trained practitioners. It is a gentle, controlled method that has been used for centuries in Middle Eastern and traditional medicine practices.

Dry Cupping

Dry cupping is a therapeutic technique that uses suction cups to lift the skin and underlying tissues. Unlike wet cupping, no incisions or blood removal are involved. Instead, the suction alone is used to relax muscles, improve circulation, and release tension.

During a dry cupping session, glass, plastic, or silicone cups are placed on specific areas of the body. A vacuum is created inside the cup — either by heat (fire cupping) or a hand pump — gently drawing the skin upward. This increases blood flow to the area and helps relieve tightness.

What to Expect

Dry cupping may leave temporary circular marks where the cups were placed. These marks are normal, painless, and usually fade within a few days.

Benefits of Dry Cupping

• Relieves muscle tension
  Helps loosen tight, stiff, or overworked muscles.

• Improves circulation
  The suction draws fresh, oxygenated blood to the area, supporting healing.

• Reduces pain
  Useful for back pain, shoulder tension, muscle knots, and general aches.

• Supports relaxation
  Many people find the sensation soothing and stress-relieving.

• Enhances mobility
  By reducing tightness, cupping can help improve flexibility and movement.

• Promotes recovery
  Often used by athletes to reduce soreness and speed up muscle recovery.

Massage Cupping

Massage cupping is a therapeutic technique that combines traditional cupping with hands-on massage. Instead of leaving the cups in one place, the therapist moves the cups across the skin, creating a gliding, suction-based massage. This method gently lifts the tissues while promoting circulation, relaxation, and muscle release.

Silicone or plastic cups are usually used for this technique because they are flexible and comfortable for movement. Oil or lotion is applied to the skin so the cups can glide smoothly over areas like the back, shoulders, legs, and arms.

What to Expect

Massage cupping feels like a gentle pulling and gliding sensation. It is generally comfortable and relaxing. Light circular marks may appear afterward, depending on the level of suction — these are normal and fade within a few days.

Benefits of Massage Cupping

1. Deep Muscle Relaxation

The suction helps release tension in tight or stiff muscles without using strong pressure.

2. Improved Circulation

Gliding cups help bring fresh blood flow to the area, supporting healing and reducing soreness.

3. Reduced Pain and Stiffness

Helpful for back pain, shoulder issues, muscle knots, and general aches.

4. Detoxification Support

Massage cupping stimulates the lymphatic system, helping the body remove waste and reduce swelling.

5. Better Mobility

Loosens fascia and connective tissue, improving flexibility and range of motion.

6. Stress Relief

The gentle, rhythmic movement of the cups can feel relaxing and soothing..

Active Cupping

Active cupping is a modern cupping technique that combines cupping suction with guided movement. Instead of staying still during treatment, the client performs gentle stretches or joint movements while the cups are applied. This allows the suction to work deeper into the muscle and fascia as the body moves naturally.

Active cupping uses silicone or plastic cups that can stay in place comfortably while you move. It is especially useful for targeting tight muscles, improving mobility, and releasing stubborn tension.

Benefits of Active Cupping

1. Improves Mobility and Flexibility

As the client moves with the cups on, tight muscles and fascia stretch and release more effectively, helping increase range of motion.

2. Releases Deep Muscle Tension

Movement under suction reaches deeper layers of tissue without needing strong or painful pressure, making it ideal for stubborn knots.

3. Boosts Circulation

Active movement encourages fresh, oxygen-rich blood to flow into the treated area, supporting faster healing and reduced stiffness.

4. Speeds Up Recovery

Commonly used by athletes, this technique helps reduce muscle soreness and supports quicker recovery after exercise or physical activity.

5. Helps Correct Movement Restrictions

Combining cupping with mobility exercises it can reduce restrictions in areas such as the shoulders, hips, hamstrings, and lower back.

6. Enhances Lymphatic Drainage

The combination of suction and movement helps stimulate the lymphatic system, reducing swelling and fluid retention.

7. Provides Targeted Relief

Active cupping is especially helpful for:

• Shoulder and neck tension

• Back stiffness

• Tight hips/glutes

• Hamstring and calf tightness

• Repetitive strain discomfort

8. Reduces Stress

The technique feels like a stretching massage, helping the body relax while improving movement and reducing discomfort.
