Cupping in London

Cupping is the ancient art of removing toxics from the body, using the release of Blood. However not all Cupping involves a cut, this is known as Dry Cupping

Wet cupping combines dry cupping with bloodletting. After suction from the dry cupping is released, tiny incisions are made in the patient's skin where the blood has collected beneath the surface. New cupping is done over the same area – often several times – to draw impure blood out through the incisions and into the cups.

Holistic Benefits of Cupping Therapy and Bloodletting (Phlebotomy)

Cupping is used both as a holistic therapy and treatment in alternative medicine. Practitioners claim that dry cupping therapy is beneficial in treating pain, muscular and joint problems, circulatory problems, colds, indigestion, arthritis, congestion in the throat and lungs, headaches, fever, and more. In traditional Chinese medicine, cupping is believed to restore energy balance.

Bloodletting offers the added benefits of removing toxins, excess iron and excess red blood cells from the body. Modern medical theories about bloodletting suggest that a drop in iron might help "starve" microbes and other germs, while a six-year-long study by U.S. researchers shows that regular bloodletting (phlebotomy) can help reduce the risk of death, stroke and heart attacks by half.

Up until the 20th century, leeches were widely used for bloodletting in America and Europe. Bloodletting lost much of its popularity with the advent of conventional medicine, but some doctors still find phlebotomy helpful in treating certain blood disorders and in relieving venous pressure.
