Re: Have You Heard Of, Or Tried, Cupping?

My sister said, she has ordered some special cups from Amazon to use on her upper arms to get rid of her flabby skin. She isn’t fat but has lost weight lately, leaving her upper arms with a little excess flab.

I can’t believe using cups to create suction to the excess flab will tone it or, make it disappear.

Do you know what Cupping is? Have you tried it?
Let me know if they work, I hate my bingo wings, I doubt they will work though.

I didn't think it was intended for flabby skin?
Wouldn't some specific arm exercises do it?

I chanced upon a gay bar.

There was a lot of cupping going on.

I have spoken to my sister and she said, the skin isn’t flabby. It’s gone a bit crepey and needs toning.

Re: Have You Heard Of, Or Tried, Cupping?

I've never heard of it for flab, but I had it done years ago when I had a really nasty chest virus or it may have been sinusitis. It was pretty amazing in how it changed all the energy inside. I could feel it quite intensely and it turned the illness around. It works on a similar basis to acupuncture but is far more powerful. It leaves marks but they fade over a few days. Not something I would take lightly or do again unless I really needed it. I think if you have any pre-existing medical conditions that it may not be safe.

There's lots about cupping on YouTube.

There may or may not be something in it but I imagine you would need a proper therapist.

I wouldn't bother with the D.I.Y. version.

Carol, I told her not to waste her money but she’s ordered it or them now.
