Description: Cupping is an alternative therapy that uses suction cups to stimulate your skin and muscles. It can be done on your face or body. The suction promotes increased blood circulation, which may help relieve muscle tension, promote cell repair, and aid in other regeneration. In Chinese medicine the cupping technique is used to facilitate the flow of “qi”, which means life force, in the body. Today facial cupping is a non-invasive beauty treatment with fans such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston.
