Concept of Cupping therapy
Cupping therapy types can be classified using four distinct methods of categorization. The first system of categorization relates to “technical types” including: dry, wet, massage, and flash cupping therapy. The second categorization relates to “the power of suction related types” including: light, medium, and strong cupping therapy. The third categorization relates to “the method of suction related types” including: fire, manual suction, and electrical suction cupping therapy. The fourth categorization relates to “materials inside cups” including: herbal products, water, ozone, moxa, needle, and magnetic cupping therapy.
At Healing Edge we use wet cupping method also known as Hijama where blood is drawn by local suction from a small skin incision.
