Chinese Cupping

Chinese Cupping, in traditional Chinese medicine, is a practice of placing glass cups on a patient’s back. The cups are heated over a flame to create vacuum and placed on patient’s skin creating suction.

For centuries, cupping has been used with great success for treating muscular tension and various respiratory diseases such as a cold virus, It can also be used as a valuable adjunct (in conjunction) in treating bronchitis and pneumonia.
