Cupping in Burnaby

Cupping Therapy – Burnaby

Acupuncture has been popular outside of China for decades, but cupping is a more recent phenomenon here in the United States, although it dates back to 3000 BC in Asia. There are two types of cupping: dry cupping and wet cupping. Dry cupping involves using glass, bamboo, silicone or earthenware cups on the skin to draw congested blood and energy to the surface in order to break up stagnation. Wet cupping uses the same method, but an incision with a small scalpel or pin prick is made on the skin first and the suctioning process draws out a small amount of blood.
