12-Cup Biomagnetic Chinese Cupping Therapy Set

ADHESIONS PAIN RELIEF: My massage therapist tried cupping for my severe, post-surgical abdominal adhesions. I have painful scar tissue snaking all over my hips attachments, bladder, intestines, groin etc. I'd tried EVERYTHING short of surgery for relief. I do yoga 6 times a week. I went to PT for months. Numerous doctors including pain management. Nothing helped. I was seriously considering suicide, couldn't work, and was miserable sitting or driving.Until we tried cupping. After 16 months of pain, I started to feel "different" after cupping. Not much "better" at first, but I could tell it was stretching out and breaking up the scaring. I bought these so I could continue treatment between massage appointments. I can tell virtually no difference between his "professional" kit and this one. It hurt at first and caused wicked bruising. But soon it brought significant pain relief. And everything felt less "tight." The pain and urgency of my bladder disappeared completely which was a huge lifestyle boost. Everything else is feeling better now too. I just need to not overdo it. I'm basically tearing scar tissue so I need to let it heal between cupping sessions.I leave the cups on anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. When I feel relief or it's not really stretching anymore, I take them off. Oh, I did remove the magnets so I wouldn't have gouges in my skin. I suck up a ton of skin/muscle/fat in the cups and need as much room as possible.It's probably worth noting that I'm pretty thin which makes a difference I suspect. I'm not sure someone with abdominal fat would be able to get to the underlying scar tissue with cups...at least not much. I can feel the thick bands and lumps of scar tissue in my abdomen with my fingers easily. And since i started cupping, the tissue as broken up in places such that it feels like I have pea gravel under my skin. Gross but it hurts less.ANKLE INJURY: I also cup an old ankle injury where there's a ton of VERY dense scarring. I've probably achieved a couple of extra degrees of range of motion just from the cups. That's a big deal for a yoga teacher. These are definitely more effective than PT. Surgery would probably be best, but this is alot cheaper with less risk.FEET/REFLEXOLOGY: I've also tried them on the bottom of my feet WITH the magnets at various reflexology points. I'm not sure about the reflexology aspect of it, but it's definitely good for my feet. I teach yoga and spend most of my time barefoot. But most people don't really strengthen or stretch their feet....but should. If you won't try yoga, at least puts some cups on your feet. You'll need lotion to get good suction.SUMMARY: I wouldn't blindly use these or expect miracles. Move, stretch, strengthen first. But if you understand your body, these can be a good supplement. And for all my fellow ARD (adhesions related disorder) sufferers, TRY IT. You never know, it might be a huge source of much needed relief for a horribly frustrating condition.

These are very durable, I dropped them so many times trying to put them on my own back, but they don't break. The suction is great, and the little hose that comes along with it is very helpful to apply on yourself.

Hi, I am working since years and almost in every massage session with these cups, the concept is totally great and part of the set, what has to do with the cups, is totally great! The cups don't break when they fall on the floor, you can adjust easily the suction, wash them, store them, they have great sizes from small to big, I love them!!! The dry cupping has so many advantages in comparison to the fire cupping ! The results are totally stunning, often times surpassing results of Active Release Technic Therapies and the client experiences almost no pain at all, in case they do, you just release a bit the suction.There is so much said for this kind of Cupping. Now the downside of these Kanghzu Cupping sets, I have several of them, is that it is so cheap quality concerning the pump, hose and the adapters, it can make you go out of your mind, when having to cup a lot. I don't mind to pay 10 times the price and have something which is great quality.1)The most common thing what will happen is, you like to put a cup on and the hose of the adapter connected to the pump came off and you have to put everything down, from the cup to the pump, you lose the sight where you had to put the cup push the hose onto the adapter and start over again. 30 seconds lost on a 50 min massage !2) the adapter on the pump3) or worse the handle of the pump comes off.It is all fixable but it takes time away from an already so short session, 50min, when working at an office. Not to mention that it is stressful, as you like to concentrate on the treatment and not on having to put the hose back onto the adapter or the adapter to the pump or having a loud noise coming from the handle disconnecting inside the pump!What helped was that I glued down the adapter to the pump, now I only have to put the hose on the adapter back when it comes off and fix the handle when it comes out inside the pump. I can't glue the hose to the adapter as sometimes the hose breaks off on the very end and it has to get cut shorter. Anyway it is great but the quality of the pump/adapter/ hose is nerve wrecking and less than good quality! It is a real pity to have to work in a medical field with a tool which resembles a toys tool quality !

I love that it does what it said it does. Great product and price.

Been doing acupuncture and for a few years and also have had cupping done during my sessions. I decided to buy one for myself to help when I feel pain in my lower back either from my bad posture or doing intense yoga poses and feel a bit off the next few days. I'd say these work pretty good and come with an instructional booklet for helping you put the cups in the right spots for the issues you're experiencing.Note: you will need another person to put them on you and follow the instructions provided. I'm flexible but still can't fully put them on as an individual myself like the booklet shows.The pro and what matter is - yee this worked to release the tension or area suffering from the pain. Even as little as 5 minutes sometimes helps.I'd recommend this product and have still been using it since I bought it over a year ago. You can't beat the price and the effectiveness this product has. 5 star from my experience .Also if you're concerned about the Mark's it leaves, and then being dark. That only means you need more cupping in that area. If you keep working it, they stop being dark and heal a lot easier and are less purple. The darker they are the more stress you have in that area, keep at it and get it relaxed.
