Living in Austin, it seems that no matter what time of year, there is always some sort of allergen in the air. Allergies and sinus congestion can feel like a never ending battle, until now.
Congestion of the face can be areas of thickened lymph, which blocks drainage and creates more congestion. Much like a blockage on the highway, results in mile after mile of trapped cars. As congestion builds, the body’s drainage and filtration system is overwhelmed and slows down, and this dense layer of thickened lymph blocks the elimination of deep inflammation via the blood vessels in the skin. Facial cupping therapy lifts and separates the layers of the skin and underlying tissue to enable movement of the congestion, reduce sinus pressure, and stimulate drainage. Cupping helps to get lymph moving and opens up the lungs, allowing you to take a DEEP breath again.
