Cupping Therapy (Dry Cupping)

Ancient Healing with Modern Benefits

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice with roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and Middle Eastern medicine. It involves placing specialized suction cups on the skin, creating a vacuum effect that improves blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, and promotes detoxification.

There are two main types of cupping:

Dry Cupping – Uses suction to stimulate blood flow and relax muscles without making incisions.
Wet Cupping (Hijama) – Involves making small incisions to draw out stagnant blood and toxins.

At Saptarshi Clinics, we specialize in Dry Cupping Therapy, which is a safe, non-invasive, and effective technique for pain relief, detoxification, and muscle recovery.

How Does Dry Cupping Work?

Increases Blood Circulation

Suction draws fresh oxygenated blood to muscles, accelerating healing and recovery.

Releases Muscle Tension

Helps break down knots, stiffness, and deep-seated muscular pain.

Detoxifies the Body

Stimulates lymphatic drainage, helping flush toxins.

Reduces Inflammation

Improves circulation and reduces chronic pain and swelling.

Scientific Evidence Supporting Cupping Therapy

A study in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (2019) found that cupping therapy significantly reduced chronic back pain, with over 80% of participants experiencing relief within four sessions.
Research published in the BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine (2021) showed that athletes who underwent cupping therapy experienced faster muscle recovery and reduced post-workout soreness.
A meta-analysis in the Journal of Pain Research (2020) confirmed that cupping therapy reduces inflammation and improves mobility in patients with arthritis and fibromyalgia.
