Fire Cupping Instructions
|
|
|
Gather
the
items you will be using
in one area. You will need matches or a lighter and/or a candle, some
cotton
balls, forceps or long
tweezers, some rubbing alcohol and Surgi-Lube
or a similar lube product..
Have the
person
and
all your tools in place
before starting. One very dramatic method of lighting the flame which
will
heat the air inside the fire cup’s globe,
is to use
the
forceps or tweezers with the cotton ball, then dip the
cotton
ball into alcohol and light it. Or you can just light a candle or a
common
BBQ lighter works well also

Holding the
cup
so its mouth opening
is down, hold the flame from whatever you’ve chosen to ignite, under
the
opening for a few seconds. Remember, the cup DOES NOT have to be heated:only
the air inside the globe of the fire cup is heated! Hold the
cup
over the flame for a short time, then quickly place on the clean, hair-free
skin.
As the air inside the
cup (globe) cools,
it will cause a vacuum effect and suck the skin upward into the globe.
Suction should hold it in place. Check by lightly tugging at the cup.
If
it pops off too easily or does not seem to be able to “seal”, try using
a bit of lube around the lip of the Fire
Cup prior to heating and applying. Practice will yield desired
results!
To remove, allow
air
into cup by putting
one hand on the globe, then pressing the skin down at the rim of the
cup
with a few fingers from the other hand. You may need to gently slide
your
pressing finger down and under the rim in order to break the seal. The
cup should then pop off. Click

Fire
Cups Sets
A
true ritual in itself...
Each set contains heavy duty glass fire cups which when heated and
placed
on the skin, cool sucking the skin up into the globe of the cup! Read
