Fire Cupping Therapy

I was looking at my hard disk files and found these pictures. This was taken after getting a Chinese Fire Cupping Therapy last spring. It is locally called "baguaner" /bagwar/. Several glass cups were heated and placed on my back. These cups then suctioned the skin which is effective in mobilizing blood flow. It looked scary especially when you see the fiery cups. It felt very tight when all the cups are placed at my back. In the end, it felt relaxing and soothing. You get these polka dotted back after the theraphy. They say..."the darker the spots means the unhealthier you are."
