What Are Those Large Purple Circles You See on People's Skin?


Have you ever seen people with lots of large and strange purple circles on their backs and wondered what those are?


Thats what youll get if you ever try cupping therapy. Its an ancient form of alternative medicine that puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. 



People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage. Its particularly helpful to get toxins out of the body faster. 



Nowadays, Chinese traditional medical techniques, such as acupuncture and cupping, are becoming increasingly popular among international athletes, including NBA players. 



These types of therapies are effective because they can not only treat a specific injury but also relax muscles and release tension.




Awww, look what this daughter does after her dad's treatment. 

What a good idea and amazing drawing skills!





A pet owner tries to use her head as a sticker and play with her cat. 



Whoops..  looks like she just had a quick cupping session!





What other treatments have you tried in China?


Some time ago, a foreigner secretly filmed a woman slamming her head while on the train He couldnt believe what he was witnessing.



See what the netizens comment:
