Cupping has probably been around as long as traditional Chinese medicine has been around -- a couple thousand years."
Traditionally, the process involves a glass that is heated inside using a flame and then placed on top of the skin, where it creates a vacuum and sucks the skin up into the cup. The aim is to release the tension in sore muscles.  Some use pottery or bamboo cups, or a more modern device that relies on a hand pump to produce the suction.  After being cupped, the skin looks like large circular hickey's are present.
