Use in traditional medicine

Cupping therapy has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine to restore the circulation of vital energy (Qi) and blood, eliminate stagnation, warm the meridians and relieve numerous ailments:

• muscle and joint pain

• nervous tension and fatigue

• respiratory problems

• digestive problems

• cellulite, oedema or swelling

• stimulation of skin metabolism

Thanks to the suction bulb, suction is achieved without fire, making it perfectly suited to modern healthcare environments, including physiotherapy, osteopathy and massage therapy practices.

Advantages of this suction cup with bulb

1. High quality materials

Polycarbonate is renowned for its high impact resistance, while being lightweight and transparent. Unlike glass, it is unbreakable, guaranteeing durability even in the event of an accidental fall.

2. Safe, controlled suction

The flexible bulb generates a vacuum adapted to each type of treatment. Its texture makes it easy to hold, even with lightly oiled hands.

3. Enhanced hygiene

The bulb is removable, making it easy to clean and disinfect. This allows partial sterilisation of the suction cup (excluding the ball) and meets the requirements of professional use.

The rounded shape of the suction pad follows the contours of the body, ensuring stable use even on more mobile or muscular areas.
