Boosts Immune Function

By stimulating the lymphatic system, cupping therapy can help strengthen the immune system, making it easier for your body to fight off illnesses.

Treatment Approach

Our cupping therapy involves placing specialized cups on your skin to create suction. This technique gently lifts the skin and underlying tissues, promoting blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and encouraging detoxification.

1

Consultation

We start with a consultation to understand your needs and health concerns.

2

Preparing the Skin

We apply a light layer of oil to the treatment area to ensure smooth movement of the cups.

3

Placing the Cups

The cups are placed on your skin, where gentle suction is created. We may leave the cups in place or glide them over your skin, depending on your specific needs.

4

Relax and Enjoy

The cups are left on the skin for about 10-15 minutes while you relax and let the therapy work its magic.
