Cupping!

[errantember]

I just got done trying cupping for the first time with spottedvasa and it worked! We had one initial misfire due to too big a wad of cotton, but after that everything went fine. I had seen several live demos of the technique before, and tried it on myself first with the gear I had. I'd like to get some slightly thicker cups, and I saw a nice set at White Crane today that might be worth the investment.

But only if people wanted to try it...

the thrill may be in the little bits of things on fire, but Thax has found that all one needs to do is heat the air inside the cup with an aim-n-flame for a few moments and then put the cup down on the skin, et viola! suction! & no fiddly bits.

It is fun. And one of the reasons I want my Tent Room back is because the cupping goodies are in there :)
