Light, break-resisting and age-resisting plastic. The Suction Cupping Complete set starts with our popular 24-cup set in a variety of cup sizes, with pistol grip suction pump gun, and easy-to-remove magnetic "needles" (non-penetrating pressure-giving points) to allow balanced magnetic exposure of traditional acupuncture points. With 2 flexible silicone squeeze cups which can also serve as electrodes for your TENS unit, 3 specially contoured joint cups, and 1 glass cup to use in traditional “fire cupping," 30 cups in all—plus Gua Sha tool and a user manual containing diagrams, and application instructions.

The Biomagnetic Cups, the Joint Cups and the Electrode Cups can be used together or individually. Also, using the Electrode Cups with a TENS unit (not included) provides cupping therapy and allows TENS stimulation at the same time, thus enhancing the effect of both. Handy, compact design allows everyone to do it, at home or while travelling.
Wash cups and target areas on skin with warm, lightly salty water, and dry before cupping.
3.
Before performing cupping procedure with a suction cup, make sure the inside of the cup is clean and the assembly is intact.
4.
Select an appropriate size or type of cup.
5.
Smear an appropriate amount of oil, or skin cream onto the target area.
6.
Connect the connectors, cup and pump gun, and place the cup on the appropriate part of the body. Draw the gun handle to withdraw air from the cup. Remove Connector to leave cup attached to skin by vacuum pressure. Cups may be moved while attached, the cream or oil acting as a lubricant. Alternatively, attach cups by squeezing (silicone cups) or by igniting a small quantity of combustible such as 99% rubbing alcohol, inside the cup then quickly placing cup against skin to form a vacuum.
7.
The cups can be used individually or in combination according to your preference.
8.
After the desired elapsed time, simply release the pressure in the cup by pulling up on the cup’s valve to release vacuum. Always use this method to release cup gently to prevent skin damage.
9.
It is normal for darkening to appear on the skin where cups are applied. This will dissipate in a few days.
10.
It is possible, though extremely rare, that sometimes blisters may appear on the skin where the cup has been attached. When the blistering is serious, routine sterilization is necessary. Prick the blisters and apply disinfectant.
11.
During each cupping session, keep the room warm.
12.
Use for no more than 15 minutes / target area, 1~2 times daily, 10 days / area. (After 10 days, give the area a rest of at least 1-2 days).
Gwyneth Paltrow used cupping therapy, as could be seen by the circular marks on her back, normal after cupping.
Gua Sha - another way to release muscle tension and tightness. Rub an area of the body with a traditional Gua Sha tool and cream or oil for a thorough massage.
