Blood cupping is one of the natural healing therapies that has been done since the time of the Prophet. Cupping is believed to be able to cure various diseases, especially those related to muscle and joint disorders, blood viscosity, and others. There are 2 types of cupping, namely empty cupping or blood cupping that will release blood on certain parts of the body.

In the process of cupping will suck the surface of our skin. In empty cupping after suction is done on the skin will be left without any needle puncture and in blood cupping the process is continued by puncturing it with a small needle so that dirt in the capillary blood can come out so that the body's burden of removing dirt from the capillary blood vessels at the end takes place faster and will increase new blood flow to the area to support the regeneration process and cell repair to achieve faster healing.

At the Holistic Purwakarta hospital, the cupping process will be carried out at acupuncture points so that it provides maximum results. In principle, some areas that are considered to have poor blood flow and will interfere with muscle and nerve performance in certain areas can be stimulated with cupping to stimulate more blood flow. Cupping can be done by various diseases except for patients who have anemia problems or blood sedimentation disorders and malignant cancer patients.

Unfortunately, in the increasingly crowded era of cupping, many people do cupping without paying attention to the cleanliness and sterility of the equipment because in this therapy there is a high possibility of contact between blood from two different people, thus increasing the risk of transmission of infectious diseases through blood such as hepatitis and even HIV. because to prevent this transmission, cleaning and soaking with alcohol alone is not enough, there needs to be an appropriate sterilization standard such as sterilization of the equipment used for surgery. At the Holistic Purwakarta hospital, cupping equipment is only used for 1 patient who is then allowed to be taken home and it is advisable to always cup using their own equipment to prevent the spread of the infection.
