Dry cupping is a traditional therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction helps to increase blood flow, promote relaxation, and relieve muscle tension. The cups are typically left in place for a few minutes, creating a vacuum-like effect that draws stagnant blood and toxins to the surface of the skin.

This therapy is believed to have origins in ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern cultures and is often used as a complementary treatment for various conditions such as pain, inflammation, and respiratory issues.
