 Fire
Cupping is a natural health and healing modality, being
a method of applying acupressure by creating a vacuum next to the
patient's skin. This technique, in varying forms, has also been
found in the folk medicine of Vietnam, the Balkans and modern Greece,
among other places.
A vacuum is created by air (heated by fire) in a glass cup placed
flush against the patient's skin. As the air cools in the cup, a
vacuum forms that pulls up on the skin, stimulating the acupressure
effect. The cups are usually roughly bell shaped with a capacity
of about 4 fluid ounces. Most commonly, a total of from 8 to 12
cups are applied to the subject's back in two parallel 'vertical'
columns, midway between the spine and each edge of the body, spaced
about 4 inches on center within each column.
 
The longer a cup is left on, the more of a circular mark is created.
The skin pores are more open, and the patient may have a feeling
like sunburn. An application of about 20 minutes is average, for
the back; however this varies with the individual. In no case should
the cups be left in place if the subject reports noticeable discomfort.
