​Cupping is an ancient Chinese method of causing local congestion. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. It mobilizes blood flow in order to promote healing. 

Cupping dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures. One of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, describes how the ancient Egyptians used cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C.

Findings from a 2012 report, published in PLoS One, show that Australian and Chinese researchers reviewed 135 studies on cupping. They concluded that cupping therapy may be effective when people also get other treatments, like acupuncture, for various diseases and conditions, such as:

• ​Herpes zoster
  

• Acne
  

• Facial paralysis
  

• Cervical spondylosis
