Mg Cupping: heal what ails you
/As the days grow colder and shorter, many of us notice the body beginning to draw inward. Less sunlight, cooler air, and the shift from daylight savings can leave us feeling tense, low on energy, or more susceptible to seasonal imbalances.
This is a perfect time to introduce cupping sessions as a means to improve circulation, release tension, and help the body adapt to the colder months with ease. Cupping draws stagnate blood to the surface so that energy and warmth can move more freely again, creating space to breathe, soften, and reset.
At TB, our Magnesium Cupping Sessions combine traditional cupping therapy with the transdermal benefits of magnesium, providing the body both decompression and nourishment. If you’ve been curious about cupping or magnesium therapy, here’s what to know before your first session.
Q: What happens during a cupping session?
Cupping uses gentle suction to lift the skin and connective tissue, creating space for fresh circulation and release. The light decompression helps relax tight muscles, ease tension, and support lymphatic flow. According to TCM, this process moves Qi and Blood, freeing areas where energy has become stagnant. Many people describe a soothing sensation of warmth and expansion as the cups work. The experience is deeply grounding, leaving the body lighter and more at ease.
Q: Why magnesium?
Magnesium is essential for overall health, yet most adults are deficient without realizing it. Low magnesium levels can contribute to muscle tightness, fatigue, restlessness, and poor sleep, symptoms that often surface during colder months.
Topical magnesium allows the body to absorb this vital mineral through the skin, bypassing digestion and going directly to the tissues that need it most. Our handcrafted Mg EASE formula combines highly absorbable magnesium with nutrient-rich, grass-fed tallow, a traditional ingredient known for its compatibility with the skin’s natural structure. Together, they deliver deep muscular relaxation and nervous system support while nourishing and softening the skin.
Q. What are the benefits of a Magnesium Cupping Session?
Cupping is incredibly effective at treating chronic pain, decreasing inflammation in the body, helping to release tension, accelerating the healing of respiratory conditions, lowering cortisol levels and promoting deep relaxation, enhancing circulation and supporting immune function and much more.
Q: Who is cupping for?
Cupping is for anyone who feels weighed down by tension or fatigue and wants to feel more at home in their body. It is especially supportive in the fall when the body naturally contracts and holds stress and better prepares the immune system for the winter months ahead. Cupping benefits those experiencing chronic tightness, sluggish circulation, or the subtle heaviness that often comes with seasonal change.
When paired with magnesium, cupping becomes an even more powerful reset for the muscles and nervous system. The combination helps move stagnation, warm the tissues, and restore balance from within.
Q: What happens after the cups come off?
When the cups are removed, the skin may appear pink, red, or purple depending on how much stagnation was present. In TCM, these marks are seen as indicators of blocked circulation finally moving again. They are not bruises and typically fade within a few days. With regular sessions, these areas often clear more quickly as the tissues regain balance.
After a cupping session, it’s common to feel lighter, calmer, and more open. The body continues to respond for hours, sometimes days, as circulation improves and the nervous system settles. Rest and hydration help extend the benefits of your treatment.
Mg Cupping Package:
While one cupping session will leave you feeling relaxed and replenished, the greatest benefits come with consistency. With regular sessions, ideally once a week at first, the body releases tension, circulation opens, and magnesium helps the body restore and reset. As balance returns, sessions can be spaced out, supporting that grounded, replenished feeling through the season.
