Cupping glass4.3 cm, Glass

Fire cupping calls for glassware that shrugs off heat. This cupping glass is made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass and carries a solid glass ball as its handle, keeping your fingers away from the heated rim. The opening measures 4.3 cm, placing the glass in the mid-size range and covering many treatment zones.

The cupping glass is used in TCM practices, naturopathy and massage studios that offer classic fire cupping. The method is traditionally applied for muscle tension and is intended to stimulate local circulation.

• Heat-resistant borosilicate glass for working with an open flame

A mid-size opening of just over 4 cm is a true all-rounder: it fits shoulders, arms and calves and also works on the back. Many therapists add cups with a wider opening for large areas and much smaller ones for the face and hands. The ball handle is worth having whenever you cup with a flame on a regular basis.
