Cup My Face: The Ancient Art of Face Cupping with Lisa Dowling
Have you ever seen the marks made from Cupping? They’re usually dark, round circles on the skin. Why would people have this done in and why would they have it done on the face?
For centuries Eastern Asian medicine has used natural means to treat a wide variety of ailments. Today, many people use these techniques such as acupuncture, medicinal herbs and cupping.
Cupping, in recent years, has become a popular method for muscle relaxation and alleviating pain. It’s become a favorite to athletes for its ability to increase blood flow to a particular muscle or to reduce pain. I, myself, have also done cupping for health reasons but I was not sure about cupping my face until I met today’s guest.
