The Irish Independent published an article about Cupping on 11th August. The treatment involves forming a vacuum by heating hollow devices which creates suction when applying these to the body. As I explained when being interviewed for the article "The Chinese typically use bamboo," "We use bamboo too, although a lot of clinics use glass jars. The trouble with glass is that if you're not quick with your flame, you can heat the glass and hurt the client."
The college fb page also shared an article arguing that the marks sometimes left by this treatment are not bruises.
