It seems like cupping therapy fever is slowly taking over the tinsel town. After Sofia Hayat, Bigg Boss 10 finalist and popular VJ Bani Judge also tried the famous therapy. Said to be an ancient therapy, it helps in relieving pain, inflammation, improves blood flow and relaxes the muscles. It is done with the help of cups which are used to create suction on the skin. Though the process is quite painful and leaves red marks on your skin for a while, the results are totally worth it. Bani J recently posted a picture of her getting the therapy done on her Instagram account and wrote a long post explaining all about her experience.
Cupping therapy became the talk of the town when Olympians att Rio were spotted with big red marks on their back and shoulders, including names like Michael Phelps, Alex Naddour and Pavel Sankovich. And while our B-Town and TV celebs are new to the therapy, Hollywood celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Simpson swear by the therapy.
She wrote: ”You look at someone and judge them. Before you even realise you’re doing it, before you even realise it’s done- it’s so innate the programming. People that train, athletes, competitive or not, go through a lot of pain on a daily basis. Some internal, some external. It’s like muscle warfare, mental warfare – yes one more rep pick it the fuck up.. And then there’s all the stuff life likes to throw at you. The good, the beautiful, the love that gets you so high you just want to bury yourself in it, the bad and then the really really fucked up shit that makes you feel you have absolutely no control and where was that fucking thing we like to call ‘the point’ in all of this to begin with? So yes, the notorious ever changing ‘point’, Don’t always assume or think it’s all for vanity. Don’t assume just because you see the 6pack abs that they were easily obtained, that life is so easy for them, don’t think just because you see the smiles and hear the laughter that it didn’t take a 90 degree trek and a hell of a horrifying trudge to get to that point. This is the problem with social media these days. It’s one highlight reel after the other. Well, here’s my highlight, I’m in pain. Physical, emotional and spiritual. I’m also smiling and deliriously in love. It’s been a hard week and some of y’all know my moms been sick and she’s gotten sicker. And it sucks balls. So yeah. Struggle town population +1 for sure. Not here to crib about it, here to let you know everyone is struggling. Feel the love yourself and then try and see people through it with that Love. It’s the most we can do. That’s all.”
She further added: ”PS: this Chinese cupping therapy is Bomb. Hurts like hell, and you’re left with these amazing marks. But ayy.. scar tissue always stronger than regular tissue right? Fun science fact: The spots that are redder than others are where there were bigger deeper knots/ stress/ tension. The skin gets red because of the increase in blood flood, relieving of the pressure built up inside and helps get rid of toxins. Now, I need a nap. Gday!”
