Here's the accompanying hyperbole...

"Cupping therapy is used frequently and complements acupuncture. Suction cups, placed at various points on the body, create a vacuum that draws toxins to the skin's surface. This stimulates the person's immune response. The skin is the body's largest organ and it clears the body toxins quickly and efficiently because it has the richest circulation."

I think it's just fucked up.. LOL



But somehow... she makes it look much more appealing than these dudes.
Hm...my mom did it to me every time I was sick. It actually helps. It felt good but the spots after these bulbs can stay more than a week.
