How does cupping therapy primarily address inflammation in the body?

Cupping therapy primarily addresses inflammation in the body by promoting blood circulation and flushing out toxins. The suction created by cupping draws blood to the surface of the skin, which enhances the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid in the targeted area. This increase in circulation helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to tissues while also assisting in the removal of metabolic waste and toxins, contributing to a reduction in inflammation. Furthermore, the improved nutrient supply can facilitate healing and recovery in inflamed tissues, making this approach effective for addressing various inflammatory conditions.

Enhancing blood flow is a fundamental principle of cupping therapy, aligning with its traditional use to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and promote overall well-being.
