Fire cupping therapy is a renowned technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves applying heated glass cups to the skin to create a localized suction.

This ancient therapy has proven to be highly effective in alleviating chronic pain by promoting improved blood and lymph circulation, while also addressing stagnation and congestion. By utilizing the power of suction, fire cupping stimulates circulation and aids in the release of tension and blockages, providing relief from persistent discomfort.
