Q: How can I use the cups to help with headaches and migraines?

Apply oil to the base of the neck to facilitate stronger adhesion of the cup (s) to the skin. Apply 1-2 static cups to the neck and leave in static position for up to 10 minutes. You can continue to massage the area for a few more minutes to relieve the tension. Use the face cup to massage your forehead, temples and jaws. Please see our cupping program for headache .

Q: In what way could cupping improve lung capacity?

Cupping increases blood circulation and blood is very important as it delivers nutrition through the body. For example, the blood converts oxygen from the air we breathe and transports the oxygen to our lungs and the rest of our body.

Q: What is cupping possible impact on trigger points?

From the TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) perspective, the trigger points represent stagnation of blood at a deeper musculoskeletal level. These points are usually located in the middle of a muscular structure. In addition to being sensitive when touching the area, trigger points can also be felt as a tight band or a "lump" not under the superficial layers of the skin, but in the deeper layers of the muscle structure, and sometimes close to the bone. Persistent wrong posture when sitting or walking, carrying or lifting heavy loads, overwork, overuse of a particular muscle group and stressful lifestyle can all contribute to the formation of trigger points. During the cupping application, a strong, negative pressure is created above the trigger point. This in turn results in the stagnant blood being stimulated to move towards the direction of the cup. The negative pressure will also force oxygen-rich blood to flow into the trigger point and release the muscular knot / lump. Sometimes it is difficult to erase trigger points completely, these may require more frequent application of cupping, which can be as often as three times a week. Since trigger points are located in the deepest layers of muscle tissue, a strong cupping method is often required to be effective. Not all trigger points are suitable for cupping therapy because of their anatomical location. In these cases, other methods of releasing the trigger points should be used.

Q: Possible effects of cupping on the skin

Cupping increases blood circulation, temperature and metabolism in the skin, and promotes skin breathing. It helps stimulate collagen and elastin production and can help to brighten your skin, minimize the appearance of scars, fine lines, wrinkles and cellulites.It also pulls slag products out of the skin and strengthens the skin’s resistance to external stresses.

Q: How to reduce the appearance of cellulite with cupping?

Thighs/hips/buttocks: Apply oil to dry skin or use Curam Dynamic in the shower with shower cream. Use either zigzag, up wards circular motions to the heart or up and down to break up the connective tissue. Start with light cupping in the area being treated, to begin to loosen the fascia and increase the suction effect as the area softens. When you can move the cup without resistance, slide the cup from the gluteal fold (just below the buttocks) out to the hip and into the groin where one of the large lymphatic stations is located.

Q: Why is cupping effective against cellulite?

Dense connective tissue combined with poor blood circulation is the main reason the body forms so-called cellulite skin. Cupping is a deep massage, and as it lifts the skin and connective tissue and stimulates blood and lymph circulation, it can be an effective treatment for improving skin texture and clearing the skin. We recommend dynamic cupping for cellulite skin along with a good oil that stimulates lymph circulation, such as Curam Body and Massage Oil.

Q: How can cupping help athlete’s performance?

As well known to many, cupping has been demonstrated by ”Olympians" as well as practiced by amateurs within the athlete community. Crossfit athletes, runners, swimmers, gymnasts and other athletes all witness how cupping has an important role for injury prevention and recovery. For athletes that are engaged in strenuous activities cupping can help increase circulation and mobility, reduce muscle stiffness, improve endurance, suppleness, recovery time and much more.

Q: Are there any areas on the body where I should not use the cups?

Curam’s dynamic and static massage cups can be used on the entire body, except directly on the groin, neck, face, armpits, genitals, and lower abdomen. However, Curam’s facial cups can be used anywhere because they have a much gentler vacuum. Consult your doctor before use if you are on strong medication. Avoid cupping on infected skin, severe psoriasis, or muscle inflammation, as these conditions may worsen with the increased stimulation that cupping provides. Also, avoid cupping on new scars and allow at least 6 weeks before starting treatment on these areas. Begin cautiously, and consider starting with Curam’s facial cup.

Q: Can I do something else to improve the cupping effect?

When treated with cupping, the effect is increased if you maintain a habit of good and healthy diet and exercise. It is important to drink plenty of water as the exudation of slag products in the body increases through cupping.
