DETOX CUPPING: Cleanse and Detoxify with Cupping

Does your body need a little "Spring Cleaning"? Cupping Therapy is a great way to detoxify!
Cupping uses vacuum pressure on the skin to move stagnant qi, bringing fresh blood and oxygen to underlying tissues. Cupping can be relaxing, stimulating, and detoxifying.
The amount of detoxification you will get from a cupping treatment will vary per individual: it can be mild and gently cleansing, or you can request a session to focus on detoxification. A session for DETOX CUPPING will include abdominal cupping, a series of cups applied to the belly, liver, gall bladder, colon and other digestive organs, and cupping on the back to open airways and detoxify the lungs.

If you get cupping in other areas, it can also be mildly detoxifying. For example, you can get facial cupping to relieve allergies and open sinuses, but the increased blood flow to the face & upper body can be detoxifying.

How much you detox when you get cupped depends a lot on the stagnation in your tissues. In the facial cupping example, if you had past injuries to the face or head, such as sinus surgeries, whiplash, or scar tissue in the jaw or TMJ, you may feel a more detoxifying effect than if you had cupping to an area with no past injuries.

Another way to detoxify: ESSENTIAL OILS. There are several plants whose oils have a powerfully detoxifying effect. Most of the citrus are detoxing, including lime, tangerine, and grapefruit. Note: lemongrass is amazing, but it is STRONG, so use just a tiny bit!
Essential oils are often used in conjunction with cupping. Ask your cupping therapist to include them in your treatment.

Massage can also be detoxifying as it improves circulation and boosts lymph flow. Massage, cupping and essential oils can be combined in one session.

Remember, when detoxifying-
"The Solution to Pollution is Dilution"

Drink plenty of pure water! If your body is strongly detoxifying, you may feel flu-like symptoms, and you will probably eliminate in the toilet more often. That's good! Keep chugging water and you should feel great!

HAPPY SPRING CLEANING!
