The Benefits of Cupping Therapy

With incredible benefits, cupping for weight loss in Singapore has grown in popularity as a kind of alternative medical treatment in recent years. Here are some of the benefits of cupping therapy. 

Improves Metabolism

A compromised circulatory system hinders new blood supply to tissues, cells, and organs. These organs progressively lose metabolic efficiency.


By releasing the connective tissues, cupping enables the circulation of new blood throughout the body. The body's organs, tissues, and cells can then continue to develop and repair themselves, enhancing the body's metabolism and encouraging healthy weight loss.

Loosens Visceral Fat

Visceral fat, sometimes referred to as intra-abdominal fat or organ fat, is the kind of fat that builds up around the organs. Having too much visceral fat can make you more susceptible to conditions like: 

  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Stroke

Cupping affects tissues deep beneath the skin and can assist in loosening visceral fats nestling around organs, breaking them down so they can be quickly metabolised.

Improves Blood Circulation

Age-related blood flow deterioration results in an accumulation of the following in the body:

  • Excess fluids
  • Waste
  • Dampness


By using heat and suction to enlarge the blood vessels, cupping can help increase blood flow and alleviate this blood stagnation.


Improved blood circulation promotes cell repair, while increased blood flow swiftly flushes out toxins such as excess water and waste in the body.

What is Cupping Therapy?

Through the stimulation of acupoints and the movement of those points along lymphatic channels, cupping therapy encourages weight loss and whole-body toning. These specific acupoints give your circulatory system the energy it needs to digest body fat, particularly fats in trouble areas and fat around internal organs.


Increased circulation can make it easier to eliminate toxins and extra fluids that are aggravating or causing weight issues. There are various techniques for cupping, which include:

Dry Cupping

Your physician heats each cup; generally, an alcohol-soaked cotton ball will be lit on fire. As a result, the heat causes the cup's oxygen to escape, leaving a vacuum.


To remove air from cups, some physicians employ a suction device. The vacuum force draws the skin into the cup after being applied to your skin.


Wet Cupping

Wet cupping, which is also known as blood cupping in Singapore, is where your skin will be delicately pierced with a needle by your physician. This process usually takes place before and occasionally after cupping. The wounds from the puncture caused by the cupping technique allow toxins to leave the body.

Potential Side Effects of Cupping Therapy

The most common mild side effects include bruising and discomfort in the treated areas. In rare situations, you may feel lightheaded or nauseous shortly after your session.
