I LOVE cupping therapy!! It feels fantastic. After I have completed a cupping therapy session it literally feels like I just had a deep tissue massage. Amazing!! Who would of thought that combining modern materials science with the ancient healing art of Chinese Cupping Therapy could be the best thing since sliced bread!!
Cupping therapy has been used for thousands of years......but until the invention of modern day materials, these cups were always made of glass. Glass was difficult to use because to create the suction needed for therapeutic effects, you needed to light small fires inside the cups, then quickly place them on the body. The cooling of the air inside the cups resulted in the therapeutic suction. Now, after many many years of having to use glass cups, we now have the pleasure of using flexible silicone cups. Silicone cups are virtually unbreakable, portable and pliable. Most importantly, you can easily control the degree of suction by simply squeezing the cups more firmly or gently, depending on your preference. So how does cupping therapy work? It is pretty simple. The suction of the cup pulls the skin and tissues up and away from the body. Unlike acupressure or massage therapy, which compresses muscles and tissues, cupping therapy decompresses by gently pulling tissues outward. This creates space, boosts circulation, tones skin and tissues, and helps move lymph. Emerge therapeutic cups are made from silicone and are safe to use almost anywhere on the body, including the legs, back, abdomen, chest, arms, neck, wrists, ankles and even your face. One set includes four cups of varying sizes. Use the larger cups on larger areas of your body, and the smaller cups on more precise areas such as face, neck and wrists. Here is a big piece of advise for everyone thinking of trying cupping out......if you leave these cups on any area of your body for more than a minute, they will produce a blood circulation pattern commonly called a "hicky." I know you know what that is...but for those that do not, this is where the suction of the cups pulls blood into the upper layers of your skin, and it's a natural part of the therapy. So don't leave them for long periods on areas of your skin unless you want others to see your cupping hickies. Using the Emerge therapeutic cups are simple. Apply the cup to the level of suction that's right for you, all you do is gently move the cup along the length of your arm, leg, spine or other area of your body, making sure to maintain the air-tight seal of the cup. This action is delivering a deep massage to your tissues, creating gentle movement that can reach up to four inches inside your tissues. It leaves your skin and muscles feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, and the enhanced circulation brings new blood and nourishment to the tissues. Cupping can also be done in the shower. Apply soap to your arms, thighs, calves or other areas, then use the cups to massage each area, including areas of cellulite or stretch marks. You'll feel refreshed and reinvigorated! Go check them out for yourself! They are on Amazon for a great price! I got this product through a promotion. I am not associated in any other way. I agreed to try and then post my opinion.
