Welcome to Wellness Cupps Therapy
It's not a trend. It's your wellness.

​Cupping therapy is an ancient traditional medical practice that has been used by many Asian, South American, African and  European cultures for over 2500 years as an ancient form of alternative medicine. It is still relevant worldwide today especially in Asia, Europe, Africa, North and South America. 

​

 Most medical experts agree that cupping is very safe and is becoming an effective choice of treatment for many people today.  

  

Wellness is the freedom from illness and includes a lifestyle of prevention. There are 3 concepts of wellness: mental, physical and spiritual. 

 

Cupping is a great natural treatment for overall health and wellness.  

• Reduce anxiety and stress 

• Detoxify; reduce toxins from the body 

• Improve circulation thereby enhancing blood flow and oxygenation in the body, increasing collagen production, and reducing cellulite 

• It eases pain and muscle tension, and increases blood flow to joints 

 

 

 Benefits of Cupping: 

​ -Cupping, has been found to have a positive impact on stress reduction. 

 Research has shown that cupping can:

- Lower cortisol levels (a hormone associated with stress)

- Increase oxytocin levels (a hormone associated with relaxation and bonding)

- Reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression

- Improve sleep quality

- Relieve muscle tension and pain

 

Cupping may help reduce stress by:

 

- Stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation

- Releasing endorphins, the body's natural painkillers and mood elevators

- Improving mood and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression

 

Cupping can be a great treatment for stress management, promoting relaxation and  the overall wellness of the mind and body!​ .

-Cupping Therapy can help you look better too! Cupping Therapy is used to move blood, increase circulation, and reduce the build-up of fluid resulting in smoother looking skin. Facial Cupping Therapy works to increase blood circulation and stimulate the facial cells that are responsible for collagen production. Cupping Therapy is also used for scar reduction and cellulite reduction.  

 

-Cupping Therapy is commonly used to help your lymphatic system work efficiently.  Your lymphatic system is your body’s built-in sanitation center, the plumbing that carries away and filters out poisonous waste products from every cell, tissue and organ.  

​

-Cupping is the distraction of soft tissue.  A vast majority of all illnesses and diseases come from stagnation, congestion and blockage of vital fluids or humors, like blood, phlegm or lymph. Cupping Therapy is renowned for relieving muscular toxicity and increasing the circulation for muscular nerve entrapment conditions, such as sciatic pain.

-Cupping increases circulation and blood flow and helps release toxins that have been accumulated in the specific areas due to dysfunction or obstruction (stagnation).  It moves the blood from within the muscles towards the surface of the skin where body easily disposed it.

​

In Chinese medicine, the blockage of Qi (Chi) energy can cause illnesses and pain Cupping Therapy can help with these concerns by removing the stagnation and so that it can remove the pain and help achieve wellness. 

​

In Islamic culture, it is noted that cupping promotes the flow of energy in the blood.  It removes toxins and other waste material from the blood and that results in a healthy and properly functioning body and mental and physical wellness.  

 

In traditional Indian culture Chakra (cakra in Sanskrit) means “wheel” and refers to energy points in your body. They are thought to be spinning disks of energy that should stay “open” and aligned, as they correspond to bundles of nerves, major organs, and areas of our energetic body that affect our emotional and physical wellness.  Cupping is used to help open the Chakras and thereby help to attain good physical health. 

  

What is GUA SHA Treatment and its Benefits? 

​

Simply, Gua Sha is an Asian healing technique. 

“Gua” means to scrape or rub the skin a number of times, whereas “Sha” is a reddish, raised, millet-like skin rash (a.k.a. petechiae).  

            

Gua Sha is a technique that intentionally causes a rash or petechiae.  The benefit of Gua Sha treatment is that it promotes the circulation of blood and moves fluids (metabolic waste within the fluid).  This increases blood circulation and normalizes the metabolic process. 

​ 

Gua Sha treatment is commonly used for recent or acute pain, or as a beauty treatment.  Gua sha therapy is soft tissue compression whereas Cupping therapy is soft tissue distraction and therefore it is used in conjunction with Cupping Therapy for some treatments.
