Fire Cupping

Ever seen someone with two inch red circles on their back? No, they were not beaten with a rubber ball. Probably, they had received fire-cupping.

Fire cupping is an ancient asian practice of heating up glass cylinders  with openings at the bottom and then placing the cup on a tight muscle. The heat and shape of the cup work together to draw out toxins and muscle pain.  The cups loosen once the toxins have been released. At the end of the treatment, people generally feel better and are more relaxed.

I highly recommend trying it. You can google fire cupping in your area to find a practitioner. Just be sure to wear a shirt afterwards that will cover the work so you don't look like you've been abused.

Namaste,
Heather Leigh
