I love it when I'm slapped with some kink from out of no where.
So there I was researching stories from Russia the other day. I also was researching what things are the same and different for children in Russia. Low and behold it says in this one book that a particular little girl's grandmother has the village children come to her when they are feeling sick. What does she do to help? Among other things, fire cupping! The pictures were interesting too.
Now I personally consider fire cupping to be an intriguing, kinky, thing I'd like to try someday.
But, wow.
~whispers to FF, "i hear tell Sir Winston knows the art of fire cupping".~
You think He might tell us some more about it, perhaps?

From BBC News, July 9, 2004:I love it when I'm slapped with some kink from out of no where.
So there I was researching stories from Russia the other day. I also was researching what things are the same and different for children in Russia. Low and behold it says in this one book that a particular little girl's grandmother has the village children come to her when they are feeling sick. What does she do to help? Among other things, fire cupping! The pictures were interesting too.

But, wow.
Gwyneth Paltrow caused a stir at a New York film premiere this week in a low cut top revealing a back covered in large circular bruises.
At first glance they looked like large love bites, but in fact they were caused by a form of alternative therapy.
Gwyneth had cupping, a kind of acupuncture.
It involves placing heated cups over the skin to encourage blood flow and ease stress, aches and pains.

What is cupping?
Cupping has been practised for thousands of years for the treatment of disease and pain.
It is a form of acupuncture that focuses on the movement of blood, energy - called qi - and body fluids, such as lymph - which circulates around the body's tissues.
Oriental medicine states pain is due to stagnation of these systems. This stagnation can be a result of injury or stress.
Cupping is believed to stimulate flow of blood, lymph and Qi to the affected area. Its uses include relieving pain in the muscles, especially back pain from stiffness or injury, and clearing congestion in the chest, which can occur with colds and flu.
How it's done
The therapist takes a number of glass cups, which look like small fish bowls. Each cup is heated with a naked flame. The cup is then quickly applied to the skin. This creates a vacuum.
The suction anchors the cup to the body and the area of skin covered is drawn up a few millimetres into the cup.
The cups are then left on the body whilst the area beneath is treated and the energy, or qi, is moved.
Cupping is usually used on its own, but can be combined with other therapies.
Tim Handley had conventional acupuncture and cupping therapy for a painful shoulder.
He told BBC News Online: "I had four treatments and it really knocked it on the head. It was brilliant. After the first time I had it I felt absolutely fantastic. The difference was so tangible. It was wonderful.
"It felt quite strange because the suction was enormous. It was intense but not painful. You could feel the blood being drawn into the muscle."
Like Gwyneth, he was bruised afterwards, but the marks vanished quickly.
"It looked hilarious. They were deep purple, amazing bruises. But it's not damage as such. They are 'healthy bruises' and they disappeared very quickly - within a week. I would have it done again."
Mike O'Farrell, CEO of the British Acupuncture Council said: "Although cupping does leave noticeable marks that can look alarming, it is not painful during or after treatment.
"This is a successful method as seen by the thousands of patients who use it. However, as with all medical treatments it is important to seek out a registered practitioner."
But Professor Edzard Ernst from the department of complementary medicine at the University of Exeter said, while cupping was relatively safe, it could cause burns.
He added: "There is no evidence for its efficacy. It has not been submitted to clinical trials, but there have certainly been satisfied customers for 3,000 years."

I need a place to bitch. I absolutely hate everything today
I am trying so hard to keep my chin up but I am tired, more tired then I ever imagined I could be. When the hell do I get to just sit down and figure out how all these fucked up things happened?
The latest is that Mom has breast cancer, she is doing a lumpectomy...i don't approve of that choice but I am only the daughter.
Losing my father was hard... the thought of not having either of them here with me scares the shit outta me.
Oh here is a new something I learned today ... people always say "things will get better" when you lose a loved one....guess what, they lie! It hurts just like the second it happened... forever. It never ever gets better. So don't believe them.
Off to figure out why my teacher got pale when she read my ecg today
