Fire Cupping
Discover the old therapy that’s new again! Fire cupping therapy is a form of cupping therapy rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and Middle Eastern cultures that’s been used for centuries to increase blood flow, relieve pain and overall well being. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries or muscle tension our licensed massage therapist will provide this time tested remedy with professionalism and care tailored to your needs.
What is Fire Cupping?
Fire cupping is a traditional alternative medicine technique that uses heated cups—usually glass cups—to create suction on the skin. A cotton ball soaked in a flammable substance is briefly inserted into the cup, removing the air inside and forming negative pressure as the cup cools. The suction cups are then placed on the skin, drawing it up into the inside of the cup. This is part of traditional and complementary medicine and stimulates blood circulation, mobilizes connective tissue and enhances the body’s natural healing processes.
What to Expect During a Session
During your cupping session your therapist at Juvemedwellness in Newport Beach, Orange county will explain the process and assess your specific needs. Using fire cupping treatment a heated cup is applied to the skin to create suction. The sensation may feel like a massage-like effect with mild suction stimulating the blood vessels beneath the skin. After several minutes the cups are gently removed and the cupped areas are covered to retain warmth. You may feel mild discomfort and cupping marks which usually fade within a few days.

Although some systematic reviews suggest limited conclusive evidence, cupping is a part of traditional and complementary medicine due to its lasting benefits of cupping and widespread use across cultures. It’s a complementary medicine—not a replacement for conventional treatment but a valuable part of your wellness toolkit.
Aftercare and Recovery
After your session:
- Cupped areas may appear bruised or red due to increased circulation
- Rest and drink plenty of water to flush toxins
