TYPES OF CUPS
TYPES OF CUPS, and their use:
- Glass Cups
- Silicone Cups
- Plastic Cups
1. Glass Cups
Fire Cupping with glass cups is restricted for use by the NCBTMB, it is the traditional practice of cupping used by Acupuncturists and Traditional Medicine.
A separate course on Fire Cupping is available for those who complete this training and who qualify to practice
2. Silicone Cups
Silicone cups are a good alternative for glass cups. They are especially effective in sliding cupping techniques, as they are flexible, and pass over bony areas easily. Silicone cups are used by pressing down on the top of the cup to remove the air from the inside of the cup, and then applied to the body.
3. Plastic Cups
Plastic cups are a good alternative to glass cups for stationary cupping. Instead of using heat for suction, plastic cups come with a suction gun or pump to remove the air from the inside of the cup to create suction. The cup is placed over the desired area of the body, and the air is released from the cup by squeezing the pump, or pressing on the suction gun until the skin is drawn up into the cup.
