Ventosa cupping therapy is an ancient Chinese alternative treatment that uses local suctions on the skin to eliminate stagnation of the blood flow and promote healing for a variety of health conditions such as colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, body pain, swelling and gastrointestinal disorders. It is also used to balance the qi and maintain a healthy physical well being.

Types of Ventosa Cupping Therapy

The two main types of cupping therapy are dry cupping and wet cupping.

Dry cupping involves heating the cups inside with flammable substances like paper, alcohol or open flames and quickly placing these warmed cups upside down on the skin. Herbal or medicated oils are sometimes applied to the skin prior to the procedure to easily glide the cups around the meridians and acupoints. As soon as the hot air pressure cools down, it constricts and pulls up the skin, creating a vacuum due to the lack of oxygen. Mechanical and rubber suction pumps can also be alternately used to produce the same vacuum. Generally, cups are left on the skin within five to ten minutes depending on the patient’s condition.

Wet cupping creates a mild suction by applying a heated pump or cup on the skin for three minutes. After the cups are removed, the practitioner performs minor incisions using a cupping scalpel, and then goes back to create a second suction to extract a small amount of blood which can be treated with antibiotics to avoid infection.

Is it safe to have this therapy?

Ventosa cupping therapy is generally safe, especially when done by accredited health practitioners. The normal reaction includes reddening of the skin which signals that the blood circulation is drawn out to the surface, and warm, tingling sensation after the session. Expect to see dark markings on the skin where the cups were placed due to the ruptured capillaries under the skin. The skin markings are generally painless and disappear within two days after the therapy.
