If you are younger than 16 or older than 65, we do not recommend Cupping. Also, if you have recently (less than six months ago) had a miscarriage, your body will need time to rejuvenate itself. Consult your doctor about this before doing anything else.
Patients who are diabetic will also benefit from Cupping – as long as the therapy is performed with much caution. The blood sugar levels must be monitored closely. If not, it may be dangerous for the patient. We only practise Cupping on patients when we have evaluated it as safe and all preventions has been taken.
Cupping is not very painful and absolutely no pain to be worried or nervous about before the session. The feeling may be somewhat similar to having your blood drawn for a blood test, only difference being that Cupping is less intrusive on the body as it does not penetrate your vein.
For a brand new session, the treatment may take up to one hour due to the consultation prior to the Cupping treatment. For patients continuing with their Cupping treatments, a session may take up to 45 minutes. This can vary depending on circumstances.
A Cupping session will often give immediate pain relief in many parts of the body, especially for lower-back pain, but for other areas it may however take a bit longer. Cuping works in several different ways; both as a detoxification of the blood and as a preventive medicine. When working with preventing diseases, the effects of the Cupping will take longer as it attempts to influence and improve the condition as a whole. You may not notice the effects it had on you immediately – while your overall health and immune system is improving, it sometimes improves without you even noticing it.
