The Guide to Modern Cupping Therapy: Your Step-By-Step Source for Vacuum Therapy, Paperback

An ancient technique has found its place in the modern world of healing.

In recent years countless high profile athletes and celebrities have been sporting distinctive circular ``cupping`` welts on their bodies -- the back and shoulder area being most common. Dating back thousands of years, cupping is a form of alternative medicine. The cups create suction and help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, deep relaxation and can even provide relief for sciatica and sinus congestion.

Massage Cupping body therapy is a modern and modified version of cupping therapy that creates suction and negative pressure through the use of both stationary and moving cups. These cups are available at pharmacies and do not use heat like old-fashioned glass cupping -- making them entirely safe and easy for home use.

This book shares all her extraordinary professional and hands-on experience, so that everyone can experience the positive benefits of cupping.
