I'll Have A Cup of That Please!



I'm not talking about a traditional cup of coffee- have my beauties ever heard of Theracupping? It's an ancient Eastern therapy that La Papillon's new massage team introduced me to recently. Due to my back issues, I have turned to massage therapy to literally keep me mobile. I am so passionate about it since it's helped me so much-both mentally & physically.


Gwenyth Paltrow brought media attention to Theracupping after being spotted(pun intended) with round spots down her back at an awards show. Cupping or Theracupping involves basically creating a suction within a small glass or plastic cup. This increases blood flow to an area that is inflamed (such as my herniated disk.) The result is reduced pain, increased circulation to the area and movement in lymph which is a healing lifeforce within the body. It is an amazing way of getting incredibly deep results into loosening tightness, without being invasive or aggressive on the body. Cupping is also being used to help with lymphatic drainage, which has detoxifying benefits. We are even looking into facial & body treatments using the therapy since it has a contouring effect! The sensation can be at times intense but the results are worth it& I highly recommend you trying it! I'll take a cup of it any day!
Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
