Types of Cupping Therapy
Cupping has been practiced for thousands of years, and over time, different cultures and practitioners have developed their own variations. While the purpose — to improve circulation, relieve tension, and promote healing — remains constant, the methods and tools can vary greatly.
1. Dry Cupping (Static Suction Method)
- Описание: The most common form in modern clinics. Cups are applied to the skin and left in place for 5–15 minutes.
- Цель: Stimulates blood flow, loosens fascia, and helps reduce muscle tightness.
- Best for: Muscular tension, stress relief, improving local circulation.
- Tradition: Used widely in Chinese medicine and Middle Eastern healing.
2. Wet Cupping (Hijama)
- Описание: Involves light, sterile incisions on the skin after a short period of dry cupping. The cups are then reapplied to draw out a small amount of blood.
- Цель: Thought to remove “stagnant” or “impure” blood and encourage detoxification.
- Best for: Chronic pain, inflammation, headaches, high toxin load (per traditional beliefs).
- Tradition: Strongly rooted in Islamic medicine and mentioned in prophetic traditions (Sunnah).
3. Moving Cupping (Sliding Cupping)
- Описание: After applying oil to the skin, cups are gently slid across muscles.
- Цель: Combines suction with massage-like strokes to release deep muscle tension and improve lymphatic drainage.
- Best for: Large muscle groups, such as the back or thighs; sports recovery.
- Tradition: Chinese Tui Na therapy often integrates this method.
4. Flash Cupping
- Описание: Cups are quickly applied and removed in rapid succession over an area.
- Цель: Mild stimulation of the skin and superficial circulation without prolonged suction marks.
- Best for: Sensitive clients, children (in some traditions), or warming up tissues before deeper work.
5. Fire Cupping (Traditional Vacuum Method)
- Описание: A flame briefly heats the inside of a glass cup before it’s placed on the skin, creating a vacuum as the air cools.
- Цель: Strong suction, deep tissue stimulation.
- Best for: Chronic muscular pain, deep stagnation, cold-type conditions in TCM.
- Tradition: Ancient Chinese and Greek physicians used this method extensively.
6. Silicone / Squeeze Cupping
- Описание: Flexible silicone cups are squeezed to create suction and can be easily moved over the skin.
- Цель: Mild, adjustable suction, often used in facial cupping or home care.
- Best for: Clients with sensitive skin or those preferring gentler treatments.
7. Facial Cupping
- Описание: Smaller, softer cups are used on the face to gently stimulate skin and muscles.
- Цель: Believed to promote collagen production, improve skin tone, and enhance lymphatic drainage.
- Best for: Skin rejuvenation, puffiness reduction, facial tension.
8. Aqua Cupping (Water Cupping)
- Описание: Warm water is placed inside the cup before application.
- Цель: Combines heat and suction to deeply relax tissues.
- Best for: Deep-seated tension, cold weather treatments.
