Another
profound application of the negative pressure technique is in the
treatment of cellulite.
The
upscale spa industry has a myriad of equipment to choose from to treat
cellulite, and Baguanfa performs many of those same functions manually,
and with much less discomfort.
Light pressure provides drainage, while the heavier applications can
be used to stimulate circulation and loosen the connective tissues
or orange peel appearance.
The
affected areas should be treated prior to any body wrapping, to enhance
the absorption of the topical.
The
temperature of a soaked linens or ace bandages is not as crucial since
circulation has already been stimulated and brought to the surface,
so a more comfortable and effective wrap is possible.

Spa Treatments
Adding
Cupping into any topical body treatment not only enhances absorption
of applied products, but assists in the drainage of stagnant fluids.
Cupping
has produced some amazing results when combined with simple body wraps
for a myriad of treatments.
Essential
Oil, Clay, Thallasso and Mud based blends applied over a series of treatments
has been proving to be extraordinarily effective in dealing with the
effects of current lifestyles, such as weight reduction, detoxification,
addictions, smoking cessation, and much more.
While
it is not recommended to combine massage cupping with aggressive exfoliation
treatments, it is easily integrated into most other body treatment protocols.

Facial Cupping
Women
in Asia, Russia and Europe have been utilizing these remarkable negative
pressure facial exercises for rejuvenation and maintenance for generations.
Protocols
for the face use the small cups to vacuum and lift the facial tissue,
mimicking the pumping movements of lymphatic drainage. It is a manual
method that replicates the effects of equipment currently in use in
most of the top aesthetic establishments.
The
benefits include increased local circulation of the skin, increased
nutrients brought to the epidermis, and enhanced absorption of facial
topicals. The drainage of stagnant fluids from reservoir areas will
reduce edema and chronic puffiness.
Lines,
wrinkles and will plump whereas scar tissue will soften from the negative
pressure, making it an exceptionally powerful and surprisingly relaxing
enhancement to advanced facial treatments.
The
muscles of the face benefit greatly from the reduction of tension and
tightness, releasing expression lines and loosening rigid muscles associated
with TMJ disorders.
Sinus
infections and inflammation are also directly relieved by the loosening
and draining effects of the cups - many times resolving issues that
many sufferers commonly turned to more radical procedures to correct.

PediCupping
Historically, Cupping on the feet has been a dificult prospect. But with the continued development of modern Cupping equipment, negative pressure treatments on the feet has become a favorite with health professionals and the public.
PediCupping is a powerful combination of Biomagnetic Reflexology, Dynamic Cupping and Plantar Fascial Release on the lower compartment and foot.
Reflexology is the science based on reflexes
on the feet, hands, ears and face which correspond to all the glands,
organs and other parts of the body. It is a natural, non-invasive way
of stimulating internal organs, increasing circulation and restoring
bodily functions to normal.
Reflexology treatments are enhanced with Haci MASC (Magnetic Apparatus Suction Cups). These Biomagnetic tools can also be used for addressing joint discomfort, trigger points and
applied to shiatsu tsubos.

Biomagnetic Field Therapy
Biomagnetic
Field Therapy holds so many all encompassing, powerful effects that
no one description of how they exert their positive therapeutic effects
could adequately describe all the myriad and complex ways it effects
mind and body.
However,
from the perspective of bio-magnetics, health is based upon the individual
cells of the body vibrating at a characteristic normal frequency.
Disease, on the other hand, represents an abnormal change in cellular
vibration.
The
therapeutic application of magnets, at the deepest level, is based
on the principle of restoring normal cellular vibration, positively
influencing the relationships throughout the entire body-mind process.

Abdominal Cupping
Cupping is an excellent therapy for the belly. It stretches the walls of the organs, thus sloughing off stagnant waste and mucus and overall promote the activity of digestion.
People consistently report expelling an excess amount of waste immedietely follwing treatments and an increase of eliminations througout the day.
Cupping is regularly, and with great success, being used to help in conception, handle IBS, constipation, diarhea, distention and acidity. |

Sports Cupping
|
The use of suction is commonplace throughout the history of the Olympic Games for maintenance, pre and post event injuries, detoxification and recovery.
Besides Cupping for injuries and recovery, Olympic Trainers use suction to draw toxins from the swimmers that have been absorbed from the pools that they are in for many hours everyday day.
Unfortunately the use of such photos (to the left) is sometimes used to scare people away from the treatment.
Dead cellular debris, poisons, stagnation and excess fluids drawn to the surface sometimes leave deposits under the skin, which, short of cutting the skin and pulling it out, is the best place for the lympatic system to drain it away. |
Cumulative Cupping treatments increase muscle endurance, circulation, lung capacity, lymphatic drainage and health maintenance during strenous activities. Many professional athletes incorporate it into their training to enhance their overall performance, agility and ability to recover from their sports.

TMJ & Sinus Release
Suction helps to open up the joint, loosen the musculature and facsia around the jaw.
Used in tandem with joint manipulation, the pressure and pain associated with TMJD's are relieved as inflammation is decreased and nerves relax.
Cupping should not be done over an infected tooth as the infection can spread. |

Detoxification Treatments
Nothing pulls from the body free radical, poisonous molcular debris better than suction.

One misinterpretation of the marks that sometimes occur as result of Cupping are that they are bruises.
Unless the Cupping was done too strong in a contraindicated case, no "bruising" occurs.
What these marks under the skin are, post Cupping, is stagnation, dead cellular debris, pathogenic factors, and most importantly - Toxins being drawn out of the biosystem. Some capillary seepage occurs, but it is minimal to the acidic agents being removed.
Blood tests have been done to measure the levels of toxins, pesticides and acids being drawn out of the body with shocking results. |
Lymphatic Drainage
Therapists that do Lymphatic Drainage know exactly how difficult and tedious this system is to treat with compression work. Cupping does the opposite.
Cupping stretches open, rather than closing the lymphatic vessels. This action actually increases the movement of lymph locally and systemically with cumulative treatments.
Increasing Lymphatic output increases the immunesystems ability to detoxify the body and respond to stressors put onto it from disease, chemicals, stress and electromagnetic fields.

Myofoascia Release
and Trigger Points
Successful MFR stretches the fascia away from the underlying structures.
Also occurring along the fascia are Trigger Points. Trigger Points are twisted bundles of fascia that are extremely sensitive to palpation and feel like tough, dense knots along the muscle.
Trigger Points cause injuries over time because they break up the normal structure and operation of the fascia.
With negative pressure, the fascia is gently stretched and unwinds without the discomfort of force. |

Aquatic Cupping
A new concept in using suction on the body is in it's use underwater.
The additional stretching of the tissues at the joints, muscles and connective structures makes any assisted therapy, like Watsu, much easier, faster and with more efficacy.
Self application of these cups is simple and can help elleviate aches and pains people contend with everyday. |
