Wood therapy — maderoterapia — uses shaped wooden tools to work the tissue under the skin, and this cupping cup is the tool used for suction-style strokes rather than rolling. It is used in body shaping and sculpting routines, for lymphatic drainage, and in cellulite massage, where the technique involves working the cup in repeated strokes towards the lymph nodes. Being manual, it needs no power, no consumables and no appointment — which is the practical appeal of home wood therapy over salon sessions. Wood also feels warmer against skin than silicone or glass cups. Use it as part of a routine rather than a one-off, since results in this kind of work come from consistency.

Buying guide
Always use oil. Wood therapy tools are designed to glide, and using a cup on dry skin causes friction burns rather than benefit. Work in strokes towards the heart and towards the lymph nodes — up the legs, in towards the groin, up the arms towards the armpit — with steady, moderate pressure rather than force. Avoid varicose veins, broken skin, bruises and recent injuries, and stop if anything hurts sharply. Drink water afterwards, which is standard advice for any lymphatic work. Wipe the cup after each session and keep it dry; never soak wood or leave it damp.
How it compares
Against silicone cupping sets, wood feels warmer and is used with strokes rather than static suction. Against a roller, a cup concentrates work on smaller areas. Against salon treatments, home tools cost a fraction but need consistency — a few minutes several times a week rather than one long session.
