  • When I have backpain, I just get my local boxing team to beat the shit out of me. Afterwards, the back pain doesn't feel as bad.

  • The problem is, even if it did work the drug companies in the states would pay the FDA to ban it.

  • I'm an educated person of science but just like to say this actually works for deep aches/pain that western medicine has no treatment except prescribing painkillers. This is not the traditional way though.. in the traditional way the vacuum is created by using a fire which consumes the oxygen. From my own reasoning (may be wrong), this technique helps the body heal itself by flushing the area with blood. Now you can hit yourself and get the same effect, but you may injure your muscle tissue or b More..

  • The curative power of seeing that it's happening to him and not me. I feel better already.

  • I once had this type of Asian "cupping" medicine, although I wouldn't exactly describe it as medicine.. and I think she was Thai...

  • I know a girl who sent away for a "cupping" kit, and now she offers to "cure" everyone in the office with the cups. I assume the people who do this have some kind of training but the gal at my office thinks that she is some kind of Eastern Medicine doctor all of a sudden.

  • My (Chinese) wife does this shit and I scold her about it when I see those circular red welts.In my opinion, it doesn't do a damn thing but f**ks up the skin. She doesn't listen to me because I am a foreigner and I don't know (BS).

    Another goofy thing they do is to have someone take their index and middle fingers and pull at the skin of the back until the back bleeds. People do this to relieve colds or other minor ailments. It is also common for country people to have marks on their necks (like More..

    • @senor boogie woogie
      fucks up the skin, disrupts capillars and potentially deforms arteries and in general the vascular system on the long run, without talking of the many (visible) ematomas that it creates inside muscles and that can at a later stage form clots and bring strokes.
      Keep in mind that these "ancient medicines" were practiced in times when the average age hardly reached 40-45 and at 50 you were an "old man"...so I guess they were not that miraculous.

  • This is a thousand years old treatment and been proved to be scientifically functional,two of my Canadian friends now addict to this treatment because this is the most effective way to cure back pain, much better than advil or some painkiller that has strong side effects. just because it is not the same method compare to western medical treatment doesn't mean it's useless. Some people bashing it here just make me laugh.....

    • @mrwar and chinese medicine also says that eating a tiger's dick will make you sexually virile as well.

    • @Elhuero So if my advil is not working, can I say the entire western medicine system is just bullshit? There are things in Chinese medicines are wrong but absolutely not all of them. eat tiger's dick is more of a placebo effect, it works for some.

  • It's not for back pain. Obviously he's using the suction and the heat to extract larva and small maggots from the skin. Can't imagine that place being very clean and sanitary...but it's China, so no shock there.

    • @ObLi_2010 you'd think with all the fucked up chemicals they put in stuff they'd have some kind of sanitizing solution stocked up on every block... even if that stuff might make you loose your hair.
