Cupping is most commonly used to relieve pain and inflammation. It's non-invasive, cost effective, simple to use, and generally safe. However, please consult your physician if you are pregnant, on blood thinners, have varicose veins, or a medical condition that may be affected by cupping.

Cups should NEVER be applied to open wounds, fresh scars, burned or broken skin, or areas of skin inflammation. Do not use over the mouth or nose. Keep out of reach of children.

Cupping Therapy is not intended to diagnose, prevent, or treat any illness, metabolic disorder, disease, or health problem.

In many cases, results are seen or felt after only a few cupping treatments, though many users report feeling and looking better almost immediately. With regular use, you will experience reduced muscle tension, rejuvenation, increased energy, skin firmness, and a more toned, healthier physique. Reduced stress, improved circulation, and pain relief are just a few of the many benefits you can see and feel through cupping. Remember, results are cumulative. For best results, use cups regularly until optimal results are achieved. Results are also improved when you follow a healthy diet, exercise, and drink plenty of water.

*Individual results can and will vary.

Most people find cupping therapy very relaxing, resulting in reduced muscle tension and pain relief. Cupping should never be painful; however, depending on individual sensitivity and the intensity of the massage, your experience could range from intense relaxation to moderate discomfort.

The movement of the cup mimics the rolling action of deep tissue massage. Cupping treatment creates reverse or "negative" pressure by pulling skin upward rather than compressing it, as in a traditional massage. Redness of just-massaged skin and warmth (heat) in the cupped area is a normal indication of increased healthy blood flow. If you opt in for the stationary massage cupping technique, you may notice round marks in the shape of your cups, commonly referred to as “hickeys”. These marks are an indication that toxins and stagnation were pulled to the surface of the body, restoring energy and healthy blood flow. The marks are temporary and will fade within a few days to several weeks.

"Cupping Marks" are not bruises. The discolorations produced after stationary cupping may be due to blood stagnation, previous injury, or a buildup of lactic acid or toxins that has been brought to the surface. Some cupping marks disappear within minutes, while others may last up to several weeks.

Lure cups are made with top-of-the-line medical grade silicone that's free from BPA, phthalates, PVC & plastics.

Here are some of most common cupping techniques:

STATIONARY (“Parked”): the cup is left in place for 3-5 minutes. You may also lift & release, rotate the cup, or move it from side to side.

DYNAMIC or External Glide (massage): The cup is suctioned to the target area and then glided up and down or side to side.

DYNAMIC or Internal Glide: Suction the cup for to the desired area for 3-5 minutes, then perform slow active movement with the cups positioned over the affected area.

FLASH : suction cup to the target area, lift the cup up, release, reposition to next area and repeat.

SHAKING / ROTATING: The cup is moved from side-to-side or rotated when in stationary position.

At Lure Essentials we only use top-of-the-line, platinum-cured medical-grade silicone to expertly craft the most durable and transparent cups on the market.
