What Is Dry Cupping?

Dry cupping creates negative pressure inside a cup to apply short-term suction to intact skin. Suction may be created mechanically or by a controlled heat method using appropriate equipment. Unlike wet cupping, the skin is not cut and no blood is removed.

What Can Be Expected?

It may be used as a complementary approach for short-term relief in selected muscle pain, but most available research is low quality and does not provide firm conclusions about effectiveness. Cupping does not “clean” the circulation, remove toxins or treat internal-organ disease, and it must not replace standard care.

Treatment and Safety

Pressure, cup size, duration and treatment area are selected individually. Temporary circular marks, tenderness and bruising are common. Persistent discolouration, skin injury, burns and infection can occur, and eczema or psoriasis may worsen. Open wounds, active skin infection, significant sensory loss, bleeding disorders or blood-thinning medication require specific assessment.
