Fire Cupping Chicago
What is Fire Cupping?
This service is a Chinese medicine practice used for removing toxins, helping to flow stagnant blood, energy, and pain out of the body. We use safe and medical Glass Cups and heat from Fire to warm the cup and suction it to the skin.
This service can feel like a deep tissue massage, except the massage will be a form of tugging since the cup sucks the skin upward. The cups will also be moved around the body to allow lymphatic drainage activation.
How does it work?
First, the therapist puts a flammable substance on the cupping, such as alcohol, herbs, or paper, and then sets it on fire. When the fire is extinguished, the cup is placed face down on the skin at the desired location.
As the air inside the cup cools down, a vacuum effect is created, which causes the skin to be sucked in and thus to lift and redden due to the expansion of the blood vessels. The suction cup usually remains on the skin for up to 3 minutes.
For the first session, 3 to 5 cuppings can be done. The maximum recommended number of cuppings is 7. After the session, you will receive an antibiotic ointment and bandages to prevent your skin infection. Your skin will return to normal within a few days after the therapy.

Recommended post-treatment care
Aftercare of Fire Cupping is essential to make sure your skin stays healthy and receives the benefits of the treatment. It is best to cover the treated skin with clothing to keep it safe. Although the bruise does not hurt, it is vulnerable if exposed, so it should be treated like a wound.
