The darker the colour - the more stagnant the fluid and toxins! Cupping works differently. The suction gently lifts the skin and underlying tissue, pulling stagnant fluids and metabolic waste toward the surface. The resulting discoloration is not caused by injury, but by a temporary concentration of old, non-circulating blood and fluid that your body can now more easily process and remove.

In other words, cupping marks are a visual cue of detoxification and improved circulation, not tissue damage.
