Cupping or vacuum therapy is a method of alternative medicine in which a small area of the skin is subjected to vacuum with glass cups. This can be done by either heating and subsequent self-cooling of the air in the cup or with a mechanical pump. The cup is left in place for five to fifteen minutes.
Cupping can be used as an anti-pain treatment for rheumatism, joint pain, back pain, headaches, but also asthma, vascular and organ diseases.
