Dangers of cupping:
Cupping therapy has been used for thousands of years and is still in use today. There are several different types of cupping, but the most popular one is wet cupping. This type of cupping involves putting special cups on somebody’s region, which causes blood to flow out through suctioning. Sometimes it causes bruising or bleeding as a result.
But despite this, it is a popular therapy in many parts of the world, including China and South America. However, there are mixed reviews about cupping therapy as some people benefit from it while others do not notice any changes.
Medieval Cupping Therapy:
Cupping therapy is an ancient traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment that has been used for thousands of years. The practice was first recorded in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic on Internal Medicine. There were many recipes for treatment using cupping in the classic, including: “bamboo cup” and “silk cupping.”
The bamboo cup prays the skin with a sharp needle to break capillaries and draw blood into the cup. Then, the skin is stretched with silk cupping, and steam or an irritant is brushed on to make it taut before applying the cups.
While these methods are still used today, wet cupping is the most common type of cupping therapy as it involves putting special cups on some regions of the body, which causes blood to flow out through suctioning. Sometimes it causes bruising or bleeding as a result.

How cupping works:
Cupping is one of the many forms of alternative medicine used for various aches and pains. Cupping therapy has been around for thousands of years and involves placing cups in somebody’s region to apply suction and create a vacuum.
The goal is to release muscle tension and improve circulation by using suction. But since it also causes bruising and bleeding when done by itself, it is typically combined with acupuncture to treat various types of pain.
Depending on what type of treatment is being performed, the cups are left in place on the skin for a few minutes to an hour or more. Although cupping therapy does cause some discomfort under the cups when they’re first placed on the skin, this discomfort typically subsides once the suction is formed. The cups are moved slowly up and down or left in place depending on what cupping therapy is being performed.
