Ventosa, also known as cupping therapy, is a traditional healing practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The purpose of ventosa is to promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and stimulate the flow of energy in the body. The suction created by the cups helps to loosen and release fascia, increase blood flow to the area, and facilitate the removal of toxins and stagnant energy. Ventosa is often used as a complementary therapy to address a variety of conditions, including muscle pain, inflammation, respiratory disorders, and stress. It is believed to have both physical and energetic benefits, helping to restore balance and harmony within the body.
How Does Ventosa Work?
- Cup Placement & Suction
Glass, silicone, or bamboo cups are warmed (or air‑pumped) and placed on targeted areas. As the air cools or is vacuumed out, negative pressure draws skin and muscle tissue upward, gently separating layers and boosting circulation. - Myofascial Release
The suction loosens tight fascia and muscle fibers, helping to dissolve knots, reduce stiffness, and improve mobility. - Detoxification & Energy Flow
By pulling fresh, oxygen‑rich blood into the tissues and encouraging lymphatic drainage, ventosa supports toxin removal and re‑energizes stagnant areas—key in Traditional Chinese Medicine concepts of “qi” balance.
