Cupping therapy is an ancient Chinese practice in which a cup (suction cup) is attached to the skin. It is mainly recommended for the treatment of pain, gastrointestinal disorders, rheumatism, respiratory diseases (especially chronic cough and asthma) and disorders. The suction created by the suction cup is very good for relaxing neck, back and waist muscles.

The suction done with the suction cup stimulates the flow, mainly of blood and lymph, in the area where it is applied. In this way, the blood and lymph are mobilized at the level of skin and muscle tissue both in the area of application of the suction cup and in the neighboring areas from where they are sucked. The result of this is the improvement of the perfusion and oxygenation of the local tissues. Based on this principle, suction cups are used to relax strained muscles.

The cupping session is used to draw pathogens and dormant energy to the surface in order to release them from the body. It is mainly recommended for the treatment of pain, gastrointestinal disorders, rheumatism, respiratory ailments and paralysis, although it can also be used for disorders. The suction created by the suction cup is very good for relaxing back and lower back muscles. Traditionally, this technique was often used to remove pus from skin abscesses.
