Bintusa

Today I read my sister-in-law's blog on cupping. I had an experience on this to relieve muscle pain in the old fashion way. I learn to do it that way. Now I have a patient at home on cupping.....


Use a light weight glass.  Have a cotton ball damped with alcohol clipped by a small tong. Light the cotton ball  and quickly warm the air inside the glass and remove the fired cotton ball  then place the glass up side down to a back shoulder area where it usually have muscle pain. You will see the skin rises. let it stay for about 5 minutes.


One piece of advice, please be careful with fire!
