Cupping

Cupping is taking cups and sticking it on the skin creating suction and bringing inflammation to the cupped area. It works because it has been around for over 5000 years and yes, the Chinese used it.

This has gained popularization due to swimmers swearing by it during the Rio Olympics and we got see red to purple spots all over the swimmer. Even stoner Michael Phelps got in the action.

Why cup? Here are a few reasons to give this ancient medical practice a whirl.

Pain relief

Cupping works five times better than opiate pain killers and doesn’t have the addiction problem, nor does it have the intense withdrawal symptoms.

One “doctor” said he was able to mend a broken bone and with less pain by cupping the broken bone area. That person who had the broken bone was Usain Bolt, Jamaican track superstar.

Some fucking relaxation

Cupping is much more effective in relaxation than any massage therapist can. This is why the ancient Chinese used the cupping methods for thousands of years.

The skin is pulled and inflamed bringing a sense of peace and relaxation as the blood vessels burst and turn your skin bright red.

Healing factor X

Just like comic book heroes, Wolverine and Deadpool, cupping can heal wounds faster than any western medicine can. While the pharmaceutical companies try to jab you with really overpriced drugs to heal what ails you, cupping is near free and can cure what ails you much faster.

Our military men and women have cut down on wounds in the battlefield by using cupping instead of first aid when a soldier is shot.

Heroes use it.

Skin boo-boos

Cupping takes away blemishes including cellulite, acne, eczema, and other reddening of the skin in days. It is done by boosting the blood circulation in your skin. Get that beautiful soft perfect skin you think you need to have.

Tummy stuff

If you’re all stuffed up and can’t seem to get any “relief”, cupping can make things move again like no other.

See, there are so many great ways to use cupping. There isn’t any studies out there that proves anything that I just wrote, but my personal experience says that everything I wrote is true.
