Cupping Glass4.5 cm, Glass

This cupping glass is made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass and built for classic fire cupping. The moulded glass ball, 9 cm in diameter, works as a handle and keeps your hand at a safe distance from the heated rim when working with a flame. With an inner diameter of 4.5 cm, it is one of the standard sizes for cupping therapy on the back and torso.

In traditional Chinese medicine, fire cupping is used for muscular tension and to stimulate local blood flow. The glass suits TCM and naturopathy practices as well as massage and physiotherapy professionals who work with classic glass cups.

When choosing a cupping glass, the opening diameter matters most: around 4.5 cm covers large muscle zones such as the back, glutes and thighs, while smaller openings have proven themselves on the neck, shoulders and limbs. If you prefer to work without an open flame, valve-type cups or silicone cups are the better route.
