What is cupping? Small glass cups placed on the body and suction is used to temporarily affix the cups to the body. One or multiple cups can be used and typically stay on the body for ten to fiften minutes. Cups draw the blood to the surface, promote blood flow, help to draw out toxins from the body and align the qi.
