Cupping Detox - cupping, accupressure and Moxa

Initial Consultation: The therapist will discuss your health history, current symptoms, and the areas of concern you wish to address. They may also ask about your lifestyle and specific issues, such as muscle tension, pain, or stress, to determine the best approach for your session. Preparation: You will typically lie on a treatment table, and the therapist may ask you to expose the area of the body to be treated (such as the back, shoulders, or legs). The therapist will ensure that you are comfortable and relaxed throughout the session. Cupping Technique: The therapist uses glass, plastic, or silicone cups. These cups are placed on the skin over specific areas of concern. Traditional Cupping: A flame is briefly used inside the cup to create suction as the air inside is removed. The cup is then placed on your skin. Modern Cupping: A vacuum pump or suction device may be used to create the suction instead of fire. The cups may remain in place for about 5-15 minutes, depending on the type of cupping and the therapist’s recommendation. Movement of Cups (Optional): Sometimes, the therapist will gently slide the cups along the skin to stimulate blood flow and relieve muscle tension. This is called “moving cupping” or “massage cupping.” A sensation of tightness or slight discomfort may occur, but it should not be painful. End of the Session: Once the cups are removed, you may notice circular marks on your skin, which are normal and typically fade after a few days. The therapist will discuss your experience and provide post-session advice, such as drinking water to support detoxification. Overall Experience: A cupping session is usually relaxing, and many people find it helpful for relieving muscle soreness, improving circulation, reducing stress, and promoting overall well-being. The session typically lasts between 30-45 minutes, depending on the areas treated and your individual needs.
