Acu Cups – Silicone Cupping Set for Circulation, Skin Health and Recovery
With the Acu Cups cupping set from Nordic Superfood, you can easily practice cupping at home – a natural and effective way to support both skin appearance and overall well-being. Cupping is an ancient method used in traditional medicine around the world to promote blood circulation, reduce tension, and relieve pain.
How does cupping work?
By placing the silicone cups on the skin, a vacuum is created that lifts the connective tissue and stimulates blood flow. This helps the body transport lymph and fluids more effectively, which in turn may:
-
Stimulate collagen production
-
Provide a natural “face lift” effect
-
Reduce wrinkles, cellulite, and stretch marks
-
Release muscle tension
-
Counteract swelling and fluid retention
-
Relieve pain and stiffness in the body

Important to know
Cupping is a gentle method but should be avoided if you are pregnant, have heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, a history of stroke, or if you are using blood-thinning medication.
1. How often can I use Acu Cups?
You can use the cups several times per week. For beginners, 1–2 sessions per week are recommended, then adjust based on personal needs. Facial cupping should be done more gently and less frequently than body cupping.
2. Is cupping painful?
Cupping should not hurt, but it may feel like a deep pressure or pull on the skin. Some redness or temporary marks can appear afterward – this is normal and indicates improved circulation in the area.
3. What results can I expect from regular cupping?
Users often notice improved skin tone, reduced cellulite, less swelling, and muscle relaxation. Facial cupping may increase elasticity and make wrinkles appear less visible.
4. Can I use Acu Cups with oils or creams?
Yes, it is recommended to use massage oil or a skin-friendly cream during cupping. This allows the cup to glide more smoothly over the skin and makes the treatment more comfortable.
5. Are Acu Cups safe to use?
Yes, Acu Cups are made from 100% BPA-free silicone and certified according to FDA, ROHS, LFGB, and REACH. However, cupping should be avoided in cases of pregnancy, heart issues, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, or when using blood-thinning medications.
Cupping from a Biohacking and Longevity Perspective
For those interested in biohacking, cupping can be seen as a natural tool to optimize recovery and circulation. By stimulating blood flow and the lymphatic system, it helps speed up detoxification while improving nutrient delivery to tissues. This supports cell renewal and long-term vitality.
From a longevity perspective, regular cupping may contribute to:
-
Improved microcirculation – strengthening oxygen and nutrient supply to the cells.
-
Reduced inflammation – a key factor in slowing aging and preventing chronic conditions.
-
Skin health and elasticity – enhanced collagen production for a more youthful complexion.
-
Stress reduction and recovery – deep muscle relaxation that promotes better sleep and mental balance.
When combined with other biohacks such as infrared light, sauna, fasting, and nutritional optimization, cupping can be a simple yet powerful piece of the puzzle for long-term health and longevity.
