What is Fire Cupping Therapy?
Fire cupping is a time-honoured practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine, celebrated for its ability to release tension, detoxify the body, and restore energetic balance.
Rooted in centuries of tradition, this powerful technique promotes circulation, eases muscle tension, and supports natural detoxification.
Particularly beneficial post-injury, fire cupping helps to remove inflammation stagnation that can persist long after the initial injury has healed. It is especially useful after a plateau in healing, helping to stimulate fresh blood flow and restoring balance to the flow of Qi.
By creating suction on the skin, fire cupping revitalises the body, enhances overall health, and unlocks your natural vitality. This rejuvenating practice is designed to bring harmony and renewal to both body and mind, aiding in the restoration of balance and well-being.

How Does Fire Cupping Work?
Fire cupping is a traditional technique used in Chinese Medicine that involves the application of glass cups to the skin to create suction. The process begins with Liz briefly introducing a flame into the cup to heat the air inside. As the heat dissipates and the cup is placed on the skin, the cooling air creates a vacuum, drawing the skin and underlying tissue into the cup.
This suction effect increases circulation to the area, stimulates the lymphatic system, and encourages the release of tension in the muscles. The warmth from the process enhances relaxation and further supports the flow of Qi (vital energy) throughout the body. Fire cupping is particularly effective in addressing issues such as muscle stiffness, chronic pain, and respiratory conditions like colds or bronchitis.
Though it may leave temporary circular marks on the skin (indicating areas of stagnation), these are painless and typically fade within a few days. The practice not only promotes healing but also fosters a sense of deep relaxation, making it a powerful tool for restoring balance and supporting overall well-being.
