I'm sure everyone remembers our friend Scott from Allied. Towards the end of our meeting with Scott, he discussed a Chinese technique known as cupping. Cupping is a technique which involves several glass cups or bowls. The glass is heated to warm the air (typically with a match) and is placed onto the skin. I originally saw this technique on the show 30 Days. A man was trying all Eastern medical techniques to help reduce his stress, and eventually he tried cupping. The skin appears to be stretched and blood typically secretes out (to purify the body). Below are photographs of our friend.
For those interested in trying this technique to help reduce aches and pains (typically for the lower back), Shen Shen Health & Harmony (http://www.shenshenhealth.com/) offers this treatment. The following is a link to a Youtube video to help assist you in making your decision: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBdjebbhWI8.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Wow..I do recall Scott talking about this and I cannot help remember thinking that he looked quite physically uncomfortable during our visit.
