cup therapy

[fairymom]

Anyone ever hear of this?

I saw it on TV yesterday. A 16 yr old had so much back pain she sought this lady out who does this.
Take a cup and put heat into it with lighterwand, and place it on back in several places. Makes like hickies on the back. The darker they are, the more junk in the system that is causing the pain. She is able to go about as a 16 yr old now and do all her crafts and stuff. There was a guy who does this too who was told he would have back pain for life.
With this method, he has not had any!!
Not sure if I would want hickies on my back like that! Butttttt if it got rid of such pain as that? might be worth checking out?

Yeah I've heard of it. I think its a hit with some celebs, if I remember Chris Martin's wife (cant remember her name lol) had it a while back..... does not appeal to me though ;D

I found a link for it if anyone is interested

Yes, very much aware of it.
On the one hand, a bit like acupuncture

If you believe that the darker the more posin drawn...scam alert.
Things do not work that way.

This is like the old chinese suction caps. My mother had palsy years ago and a very close chinese friend has her own acupuncture clinic and she came over and did this treatment on my mother - 2 sessions and my mum looked no different than she did before.

They work on the negative energy in the body and these suctions are supposed to draw them out - a lot like Reiki.
