FIRE CUPPING & TUI NA MASSAGE & GUA SHA

FIRE CUPPING (DRY) & TUI NA MASSAGE

Fire Cupping and Tui Na massage are both forms of traditional Chinese therapy that have been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of conditions.

Cupping therapy involves the use of cups to create suction on the skin, which improves circulation, relieves pain and muscle tension, and promotes overall wellness. Tui Na massage, on the other hand, involves the use of techniques such as pressing, kneading, and tapping to stimulate the acupoints, or energy points, along the body's meridians, or energy pathways. It is said to unblock the Qi, promote the flow of energy throughout the body, and restore balance and health.

Both cupping therapy and Tui Na massage are based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, which holds that the body's energy, or Qi, can become blocked and lead to pain and illness. By promoting the flow of Qi and restoring balance, both cupping therapy and Tui Na massage are believed to help treat a variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, headaches, and stress and anxiety.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy and Tui Na Massage:

• Relieve pain and muscle tension: suction created by the cups helps to stimulate blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and relieve pain in the back, neck, and other areas of the body.

• Relief of stress and anxiety: helps reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and balance in the body.

• Improve circulation: suction created by the cups increases blood flow to the affected area, which can improve circulation and help reduce swelling.

• Boost immunity: stimulates the immune system and helps the body fight off illness and disease.

• Promote relaxation: is often described as relaxing and soothing, and some people find that it helps them sleep better.

• Detoxification: suction created by the cups help release toxins from the body and improve overall health and wellness.

DRY CUPPING -vs- WET CUPPING

Dry cupping and wet cupping are two different forms of cupping therapy, a traditional Chinese therapy that has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of conditions.

Dry cupping involves the use of cups to create suction on the skin, without the addition of any liquids. The cups are typically left in place for 5-15 minutes, during which time the suction is believed to improve circulation, relieve pain and muscle tension, and promote overall wellness.

Wet cupping, on the other hand, involves making small incisions on the skin, typically on the back, and then using cups to create suction. The suction is believed to help remove toxins and impurities from the body. Wet cupping is also sometimes referred to as "hijama" or "hijamah".
