What is Fire Cupping?

Fire Cupping is the most traditional form of cupping that uses glass cups and heat (from fire) to create suction. This ‘lift’ created by the suction, creates space for fluid to move and helps drain toxins and waste from the cells; then moves that waste out of the body. Cupping removes any stagnation in the body and opens the meridians so that Qi (vital energy) can flow freely. It also helps to rejuvenate certain meridians and organs that are not functioning at their best. Cupping is known to help activate the lymphatic system, promote blood circulation, and is good for deep tissue repair.

+ FIRE CUPPING

The most traditional form of cupping uses glass cups and heat (from fire) to create suction. This ‘lift’ created by the suction, creates space for fluid to move and helps drain toxins and waste from the cells; then moves that waste out of the body. Almost like an inverted massage (lifting rather than pushing) cupping removes any stagnation in the body and opens the meridians so that Qi (vital energy) can flow freely. Cupping is known to help activate the lymphatic system, promote blood circulation, and is great for deep tissue repair and sports recovery.

+ cold & Flu FIRE CUPPING

A targeted treatment using negative pressure to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage detoxification. Fire cupping supports the immune system by reducing inflammation and improving the neural-endocrine-immune network response. This treatment is focused on the upper thoracic area of the back and abdominal region.

Fire Cupping (Danette)

a wonderful facial - beautiful treatment room - very relaxing! I felt relaxed as soon as I walked in. I had the facial cupping + acupuncture with Venessa. She used their Saffron & Sage products which were heavenly. I will definitely return.

Fire Cupping (Michael)

Saffron & Sage is one amazing one stop shop from acupuncture, cupping, massage, raki, therapy, holistic medicine, eastern medicine nutrition, natural remedies, almost anything that's made up of the natural earth. I was invited to try out acupuncture for the first time along with fire cupping and it was the best experience ever! Tiffany did a great job working out all of my knots and anxiety that tightens me up across my chest, back, neck and shoulders. I literally been dealing with this for a little over a year and today was the first time in a while I got up and went bout my day without anxiety, breathing issues or fight or flight feelings. Whatever acupuncture does seems to work really well. I wish here was a Saffron & Sage everywhere. But they have definitely made a client for a long time to come. I already have my next appointment scheduled in a week for another session. Also the location is great! huge place, no traffic and easy parking in the neighborhood. Staff is very friendly and nice.

i was referred to Vanessa for cupping and I LOVED her. I was so relaxed when I walked out and I can't wait to go back. Beyond my experience, the boutique was super cute, smelled AMAZING, and they also had adorable products for sale, I even picked up a candle :)

Fire Cupping (Sabrina)

Absolutely LOVE Saffron & Sage and everyone there. I always feel so welcomed and supported. Their COVID protocols also made me feel very safe. My latest cupping session with Vanessa helped resolve a lot of the physical and emotional blockages I've been feeling. I just became a member and I'm so glad I did!

Fire Cupping (Sophia)

This was my first service here after doing group classes & seeing their herbalist for my flower essences! It was amazing to feel rejuvenated! The fire cupping did its job but Vanessa made it feel relaxing! My favorite part was the sage at the end & the short sound bath session! Great touches to an amazing service!
