fire-cupping
Fire-cupping is an ancient form of alternative therapy where a cup is placed on the skin and heated to create suction. This suction is thought to improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation in the area. It is often used to treat pain, muscle tension, and other chronic pain conditions. Cupping can be done using glass, plastic, or silicone cups, which are heated using a cotton ball and alcohol or an air pump. The cups are left in place for up to 10 minutes, and the suction created draws the skin and underlying tissue upward. The cups may be moved across the skin gently to create a massage-like effect.
