Directions

HOW TO USE: Place the cups on the appropriate acupuncture points symmetrically on both sides of the body. To apply a cup, grasp it with both hands, holding the lower edge with your fingers and pressing the upper part with your thumbs. By squeezing the cup in this way, the air inside is expelled. Apply the cup to the chosen area of the body, then release the pressure of the thumbs. Cups can be applied every other day for 10 to 20 minutes. To remove a cup, gently press the skin at its edge to let air in. A course of treatment comprises 5 to 10 sessions in one series. Large cups are placed on joints and well-muscled surfaces; smaller ones on sensitive points and for children. A higher suction pressure is used for adults and well-muscled areas; lower pressure for children and poorly muscled or sensitive areas (e.g. temples, face). Remove gently after 15–20 minutes (for children after 5–10 minutes), when the skin beneath them turns bluish. FOR MASSAGE: Before massage, lubricate the skin with massage gel, olive oil, or anti-cellulite gel. Grasp the cup with the middle and index fingers and from the top with the thumb. Apply to the skin and release so that the skin is drawn inside. Gently glide the cup over the skin of the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks. Massage should take place every other day for approx. 15 minutes. Approximately 10 sessions are needed to achieve desired results.
