Weight Losing Diary of Louise -- Louise: Trying cupping theropy by myself-obesity-北方网-English

Aug 13, 2003 The Tenth Day of Treatment How could it be possible to use a "fire cup" in weight losing? At beginning I considered it as torture, but it is actually a kind of TCM method named cupping. My patient friend Lincoln often took cupping therapy. More than ten cups from which the air has been expelled attached themselves to the skin. It seems that those small parts of the body had been absorbed into the suction cup, a scene reminiscent of the torture in the old times. But Lincoln didn’t agree with my view. On the contrary he said: "It is comfortable for me to take cupping theropy." My curiosity pushed me to consult doctors about this special method. "Is it really useful in weight losing?" I asked. "To be exact cupping therapy simply assisted in the whole weight-losing process." This explanation led me to my new understanding. So I asked doctor: "Can cupping therapy absorb the fat out of our body?" All the doctor in the spot burst into laugh when hearing my unique explanation. An old expert said: "Cupping therapy is simply an assistant remedy. The main curing domain are the combined diseases of the obsess, and lower back pain, ache on the legs instead of absorbing fat from body." Now I truly understood the miracle of the cupping therapy. I tried it myself and felt that all my body was becoming warm, which made me feel asleep. "What's your feeling?" the doctor asked. "Very good!" I answered with my thumb. I was also told that cupping therapy in rather common in China for its easy-learning. So many Chinese people practice it in curing. Once again I asked doctor the teach me because I hope to worthwhile Chinese journey with as much as knowledge that I could learn in China.
