Cupping therapy will aid in the detoxification process. Cupping therapy utilizes lymphatic drainage and, similar to a sauna, the pores of the skin to help remove metabolic waste and toxins from the body. Cupping applies negative pressure to the tissues that cups are placed on. As it pulls skin, fascia, adipose tissue, and muscle up into the cup, it opens capillary beds, and lymphatic vessels. Some forms of metabolic waste and toxins will leave the capillary beds and enter the lymph system while others will be pulled completely out of the body through the pores of the skin.
