FAQs About Determenology and Cosmetic Surgeries
After cupping therapy, there is a reaction in the body characterized by increased blood flow to the areas treated by the cups, which promotes tissue healing and stimulates the immune system. The blood extracted from the bumps or minor wounds that occur after cupping is considered part of the natural process of eliminating toxins and waste from the body.
The blood that comes out from the cupping area is considered to be blood containing waste and toxins that may be accumulated in the tissues and muscles. This blood may be dark in color and relatively viscous due to its higher concentrations of waste and toxins.
Cupping is used to treat a variety of conditions and diseases, including muscle and joint pain, headaches, muscular tension, arthritis, respiratory tract infections, improving blood circulation, and reducing stress and anxiety. Some suggest that cupping can also help improve overall health and promote a sense of well-being.
