Cupping therapy has been in practice for several thousand years. The earliest written evidence was by the ancient Egyptians and Chinese doctors. Cupping therapy has been used in China and some African countries for several thousand years. At first it was applied using cattle horn and was called horn therapy. To create a negative pressure inside the horn, the cupping practitioner used his mouth to physically suck the air out from the hole on top of the horn, thus creating a negative suction inside the horn. With the introduction of bamboo, earthenware and later glass cups, fire was ignited to expel the air. There also now plastic and silicone cups available. Cupping is an ancient method to reduce local congestion and station of blood flow. Massaging with the cups helps to alleviate pain, decrease swelling, increase range of motion, and speed up the healing process. The objective is to create a negative pressure above the surface tissue that decreases the pressure on the tissue themselves, this allows the tissue to be lifted upwards, changing the pressure on tissue structures such as nerves, capillaries, and muscles fascia.   Vacuum is created in the cups when they are placed on the skin by using heat to remove the oxygen inside the cup to create a vacuum suction effect. When the cup is left in place on the skin for a couple of minutes, blood stasis is formed, and localised healing takes place.   Cupping has been further developed to open the meridians of the body. Meridian are the conduits in the body through which energy flows to every part of the body and through every organ and tissue. There are five meridians on the back that when opened allow invigorating energy to travel the whole length of the body. Cupping has proven as the most efficient way to open these meridians.   Cupping has been found to treat the body up to 4 inches deep into the tissue, causing tissues to release toxins and activate the lymphatic system and clear colon blockages. It can help activate and clear the veins, arteries, and capillaries, activate the skin, and improve varicose veins. It is quite literally the best deep tissue massage available and perfect for therapist to reduce pressure and or repetitive strain injury to their hands.   Both medical and household practitioners have recognised the ability of cupping to move vital energy and correct internal imbalances as well as clearing the effects of external injury for thousands of years. Our energy within the body can be referred to as QI (pronounced chee) we can have Qi deficiency symptoms which could be unexplained tiredness, breathlessness, speaking with a very low voice, poor appetite, or Qi stagnation which could be moving pain, emotional conditions such as depression, mood disorders and irritability.
