"Cupping Therapy in Brief"

Cupping Therapy in Brief - A FREE E-book for blog subscribers.

Many people are still mystified by the term 'cupping'.

Well, all it really means is: attaching a cup onto the human body! Yes, it's as simple as that.

And how in the world do you do that?

Basically, if you place a cup (plastic or glass) upside-down onto the body and then somehow managed to remove the air inside it, then the cup will 'stick' to the body. And if you leave the cup there for 5-10 minutes, this causes the blood in that area to collect under the skin, thereby giving a bruise-like mark on the body. And that in essence is Cupping! Everything else is just a variation of this basic technique, of which I know at least three:

1 Dry Cupping: This is the same as above, but is called 'dry' to differentiate it from wet cupping (see below)
2 Dry Massage Cupping: This is the same as No 1, however instead of leaving the cup on the same place and then removing it, you apply some massage oil before applying the cup, which then allows you to move the cup by sliding it to and fro like in a massage.
3 Wet Cupping (Hijama): This is an extreme version of No.1, where you don't just let the blood collect under the skin, but you remove the cup, make some small cuts, and then re-apply the cup so that the blood get sucked out of the body into the cup!

That is the basic picture, however if you find that fascinating and want to know deeper detail, then you will be pleased to learn, as I recently found out from an Ebook called "Cupping Therapy in Brief" that there are actually at least 10 variations of cupping:

1) Light Cupping.
2) Medium Cupping.
3) Strong Cupping.
4) Moving Cupping or Massage Cupping.
5) Needle Cupping.
6) Hot Cupping.
7) Flash Cupping.
8) Wet Cupping.
9) Herbal Cupping.
10) Water Cupping.
