Dry Cupping

Dry Cupping is another service we offer and cupping can be performed anywhere on the body. The skin is the body's largest organ, it therefore stands to reason that therapies which target the skin can reap great rewards. 

​

You can opt for a cupping treatment on it's own, a cupping massage treatment or combine it with one of the other therapies. You pay no extra for this, your treatment will be balanced out of the time slot you have purchased.

WHAT IS DRY CUPPING?

Cupping is one of the oldest known treatments and can be used for a multitude of health conditions/imbalances. Throughout history, cupping techniques and styles have often resembled the geographic locations they were practiced in, as well as utilising a region’s local materials: animal horns, bamboo, ceramic, glass, metal, and plastic have all been used in this practice found in Ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Unani, Korean, Tibetan, and Latin American cultures, all of which have served the purpose of supporting the body’s ability to heal itself. In North Africa, cupping therapy was first documented on Eber’s papyrus (1550 BCE), where a cup is the Egyptian glyph to reference a physician. In Asia, during the Jin dynasty, Ge Hong (281-341 CE) mentions the use of animal horns as a means of draining fluids from the body.
