The next practice that relates to acupuncture is cupping, now this is a practice that I find really interesting and believable. Basically cupping is creating a vacuum within the cup as it attaches to the skin. By using the cupping method it warms and promotes chi and blood in the meridians, gets rid of cold dampness and reduces swelling and pain. For me this is a more believable practice because I've had it done on me on my back and when I finished the treatment the pain in back was significantly reduced. The only downside to cupping was the ugly looking bruises that were left behind, but it was worth it because it’s something that really works.
