Cupping Margate: Types Of Cupping Sets

When it comes to Cupping Margate, there isn't a one-cup-fits-all approach. This type of therapy relies heavily on the use of cups to create a vacuum over specific parts of the body. A therapist doesn't simply place the cups over the body. There is a science behind the use of these cups.

In the ancient times, healers used animal bones, horns, bamboo, nuts, gourds and even seashells to act as the suction. In ancient China, hollowed-out animal horns were used primarily. It then evolved to the use of bamboo, ceramic pottery and craft cups. However, these materials were found to be weak. This lead to the use of more sturdy materials such as wood, metals, brass, bronze and iron. Nowadays, the more commonly used materials include glass because the therapists see through the glass and assess the time for healing needed. In today's times, cupping therapists use glass, plastic and even medical-grade silicone cups.
