Vacuum therapy

Suction cup vacuum therapy was used in the ancient India, Egypt and Greece. There is evidence of vacuum therapy from as early as 3300 BC, on a seal of a physician in Mesopotamia. First of all suction was carried out by mouth, and later by bloodsuckers. Even later some tools were applied, e.g. cow horns. The method has been exchanged among cultures and it became widespread. Our grandmothers might remember it quite well. However, the methods used were usually taught verbally, from generation to generation, and so almost no written records of this treatment actually exist.

Some forms of suction cup application causes hematoma that contains tissue fluids; just like "bloody cupping" they have deep segmental effects. Their effects on particular organs are indirect, via reflexology zones. As these zones are proved by researches to exist, cupping has scientific background. This form of application facilitates large-extent tissue perfusion.

Examples of indications of suction cup application:

• spine pains,
• meridian pains and their blockage,
• illness of air passages,
• blood pressure irregularities,
• swellings,
• sciatica,
• migraines,
• liver illnesses,
• lumbago,
• stomach and bowel illnesses,
• renal illnesses,
• chronic constipation,
• arthritis,
• rheumatic troubles,
• dizziness, etc.

Suction cup local application is an effective complementary treatment method to classic and natural treatment methods.

The effect of suction cup is three-fold:

1. mechanical - perfusion and relaxation of the body
2. reflection - internal organs are affected
3. metabolic - it excites the lymphatic system of the patient and a large amount of harmful substances is dislodged from their body over the next few days.
