How Cups Affect The Human Body 
Understanding how cups work on a psychological level offers some insight into why cups have been used for overall wellness throughout recorded history. Each body system will have a different reaction to cupping, but there are a few basic mechanisms that occur when cups are applied to the body. 

THE PRIMARY PSYCHOLOGICAL RESPONSES INCLUDE:
1. Negative Pressure 
- Cups create a pulling action which allows for the separation of fused or adhered tissue. 
-This pulling action could potentially draw out any interstitial debris that may be trapped within the soft tissues.
2. Vasodilation
- Cups simulate a local response within the underlying tissue structures. The vascular dilation allows for fluids to rush into or through an area.
3. Enhanced Fluid Exchange
-Cups act as vacuum, drawing fluids into previously deficient areas ( dehydrated, malnourished or ischemic tissues.)
-Cups encourage fluids through their respective exchange processes (capillary exchange, lymph drainage).
Due to these primary psychological responses, cupping can: 
  • Encourage circulation (bloody and lymph) 
  • Alleviate adhesions
  • Help Clear Congestion and Stagnation, potentially releasing interstitial debris 
  • Lift, rehydrate and manipulate fascia
  • Reduce inflammation (acute and chronic, applications vary) 
  • Cause microtrauma in tissues (helping break up scar tissue, not tissue damaging nor bruising) 
  • Encourage neovascularization
  • Alleviate excessive pressure on sensory  organs in soft tissue, which leads to reduction in pain
