Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed, relieving muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue. Physician Jacinda does fire cupping which is more effective than the modern version of a rubber pump to create vacuum. She uses a variety of techniques such as flash cupping and moving cupping before leaving the cups for 5-10 mins. This helps to further improve blood flow allowing the cup marks to disappear faster than regular cupping.
