Wow, look at the number of cups and bottles used for the cupping treatment! This is way too extreme. Two years ago, Gwyneth Paltrow underwent this treatment too but hers is definitely not as exaggerated as this. Cupping is a traditional type of treatment used by Chinese physicians. It is a method of stimulating acupuncture points by applying suction through a metal, wood or glass jar, in which a partial vacuum has been created. This technique produces blood congestion at the site, and therefore stimulates it. Cupping is used for low backache, sprains, soft tissue injuries, and helping relieve fluid from the lungs in chronic bronchitis.
