Cupping therapy, a practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, involves the placement of cups on the skin to create suction. This technique has been utilized for centuries to promote healing and enhance overall well-being. The suction and negative pressure generated by cupping can loosen muscles, improve blood flow, and sedate the nervous system, making it an effective treatment for various conditions such as chronic pain, respiratory issues, and stress (Cao et al., 2012). Different methods of cupping, including stationary cupping, moving cupping, and flash cupping, offer specific therapeutic benefits (Yin et al., 2017). By enhancing circulation and promoting relaxation, cupping therapy serves as a valuable adjunct to many wellness and therapeutic practices (Lee et al., 2011).
