Cupping

Cupping

We will use a sterile, hollow glass cup and rotate a small flame inside of it. The flame source is then removed from the glass, and the glass cup is applied to your skin where it acts as a vacuum, or “sucking” pressure. This allows for blood flow in the direction of the cup, thus immensely improving blood flow to areas that were once stagnated. Additionally, this treatment draws out toxins from your body, tonifying and detoxing the harmful substances trapped inside the various meridians it comes into contact with. This seemingly simple (and very relaxing might we add) treatment has shown to aid in a multitude of ailments such as infertility, arthritis, acne, migraines, anxiety & depression, allergies and varicose veins. Cupping can also be used as a rehabilitation therapy after traumatic injury or as a way of promoting healing in post-surgery patients. 

Wellness Over Illness.

Very recently, with the photos of Michael Phelps at the Olympics, the ancient medicinal art of cupping has become widely familiar. 

 

Many individuals have resorted to using artificial cupping techniques with suction machines, rather than traditional cupping mechanisms. Here at Office of Dr. Nia- be assured you will be receiving the traditional method that has been used for thousands of years. What is this, why should you try it and how does it work? 

“Where there’s stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain.”

Calm your body and mind.
