Introduction to Cupping - Free PDF
Many dancers ask us what cupping is as they have never seen it before. Cupping therapy has a long history of application in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Traditionally, a flammable substance, such as alcohol, herbs or paper is placed in a cup made of glass, metal, wood or bamboo. The material inside the cup was set on fire to create a vacuum. As the fire goes out, the cup was placed upside down over certain meridian points on the body to treat various health conditions according to Traditional Chinese Medicine principles.
