Cupping is not only practised in China, but has also bee used in ancient Egypt and the entire African continent; to the North and the South Americans; the entire Northern Europeans including Russia, Poland and the Scandinavian counties; all the Mediterranean countries including Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, as well as in the UK.
