Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. Cupping therapy is used to treat: blood disorders such as anemia, and hemophilia, rheumatic diseases such as arthritis and fibromyalgia, gynecological disorders, skin problems such as eczema and acne, high blood pressure, migraine, anxiety and depression, bronchial congestion caused by allergies and asthma, varicose veins.

During both types of cupping, your therapist will put a flammable substance such as alcohol, herbs, or paper in a cup and set it on fire. As the fire goes out, he puts the cup upside down on your skin. When the hot cup is placed on your skin, the air inside the cup cools and creates a vacuum that draws the skin and muscle upward into the cup. Your skin may turn red as the blood vessels respond to the change in pressure.
