What is Wet Cupping?
Wet cupping therapy, also known as vacuum cupping or hijama, is an ancient practice used to detoxify the body by drawing out toxins from tissues and organs. As one of the oldest therapies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, wet cupping has a history spanning over 3,000 years. This technique has also been a part of Middle Eastern, Egyptian, and Greek cultures for millennia, often recommended for treating internal ailments, relieving pain, and addressing menstrual imbalances. Although cupping has been practiced for thousands of years, it has only gained significant popularity in the United States over the last 20 years. As the benefits of wet cupping have become more widely recognized, many acupuncturists have incorporated these ancient techniques into their practices to promote optimal health and enhance the flow of vital energy, or qi.
The Purpose of Wet Cupping
The goal of wet cupping therapy is to detoxify the body by removing toxins, helping to alleviate chronic pain and illness. During the procedure, suction cups are applied to the skin, causing the underlying tissue to rise and swell. This increased blood flow brings toxins and impurities to the surface, facilitating their elimination from the body. In acupuncture cupping, the skin is gently pricked at specific energetic acupuncture points to release stagnant blood and expel the pathogens and toxins that weaken the body. At Pulse Acupuncture, wet cupping therapy is offered as a method to restore balance within the body, treat chronic conditions, and relieve pain.
What Does Wet Cupping Therapy Do?
Before beginning wet cupping sessions, it’s essential to understand how the process works. The therapist applies mild suction with a cup to the treated area, increasing blood flow and drawing toxins to the skin’s surface. Tiny incisions are then made with a lancet, and a second cup is used to extract a small amount of blood, helping to release toxins for chronic and severe pain and conditions. The cost of cupping therapy in Clifton is generally more affordable compared to other treatments, typically ranging from $30 to $80, depending on the patient’s location. At Pulse Acupuncture in Clifton, cupping treatments are available for $75, or you can include a 10-minute cupping session in your acupuncture treatment to detoxify your body and leave you feeling balanced and grounded.
How Often Can You Do Wet Cupping?
While there isn’t a strict frequency for Chinese wet cupping therapy, most practitioners suggest spacing sessions about 10 days apart to achieve optimal results. Wet cupping, also known as Hijama, is referenced in some religions, including Islam, where it is recommended as a regular practice to prevent blood stagnation and maintain good health.
The Benefits of Wet Cupping at Pulse Acupuncture in Clifton, NJ
Cupping therapy offers numerous benefits to patients, including:
- improved blood circulation;
- relaxation;
- rejuvenation of organs;
- strengthened immune system;
- stimulation of sensory nerves.
Additionally, wet cupping can help treat acute pain, high blood pressure, post-flu symptoms, coughing, migraines, as well as skin and reproductive issues. By removing stagnant blood, wet cupping promotes better blood circulation and fluid balance. It enhances overall health by eliminating energy blockages that hinder the flow of healthy energy (qi), benefiting joints, muscles, skin, the digestive system, blood, and the nervous system.
Side Effects of Wet Cupping Therapy
Cup therapy is generally considered a safe procedure, with the most common side effects—such as dizziness, nausea, or sweating—typically occurring during or immediately after treatment. Less common side effects, like burns, infections, scarring, anemia, and headaches, can usually be prevented by the practitioner adhering to proper skin cleaning and infection prevention techniques before and after the procedure. Although wet cupping is widely regarded as safe, patients taking blood thinners or those with bleeding disorders should avoid this treatment and consult their doctor. Additionally, individuals with excessively dry or cracked skin, open wounds or ulcers, bone fractures, dislocated joints, severe anemia, muscular dystrophy, excessive swelling, abscesses, or a fear of blood should refrain from undergoing this therapy.
