The cupping glasses are placed on the skin, and by heating them or drawing out the air, a vacuum is created which draws the skin into the glass. This stimulates blood circulation, relieves tension and harmonises the flow of energy within the body.
Dry cupping
Without a puncture
With dry cupping, the skin is not incised. The cupping glasses are placed directly onto the intact skin and create a gentle vacuum.
No open wounds
The treatment does not leave any open wounds. You may experience only minor skin redness or slight bruising, which will subside after a few days.
No bloodletting
Unlike wet cupping, the dry method does not involve drawing blood. The effect is achieved solely through the negative pressure applied to the skin’s surface.
How does cupping work?
Energetic
Cupping stimulates and harmonises the flow of energy in the body, releases blockages and restores energetic balance.
Metabolic waste products are excreted through the skin
The negative pressure draws metabolic waste products and toxins to the skin’s surface, making it easier for the body to eliminate them.
Oxygen to the tissues
The improved blood circulation ensures that more oxygen and nutrients reach the treated tissue, thereby promoting cell regeneration.
Accelerated healing
The combination of improved blood circulation, detoxification and energy balancing noticeably accelerates the body’s natural healing processes.

Where nature has caused pain, it has accumulated harmful substances. If nature is unable to expel these on its own, the doctor must make an artificial opening at that point to come to its aid.
— Paracelsus (1493–1541)
