By Jeffrey Singer, an excerpt from "Acupuncture, A Brief Introduction"
Cupping is another type of treatment. This is a method of stimulating acupuncture points by applying suction through a metal, wood or glass jar, in which a partial vacuum has been created. This technique produces blood congestion at the site, and therefore stimulates it. Cupping is used for low backache, sprains, soft tissue injuries, and helping relieve fluid from the lungs in chronic bronchitis. 特别说明：由于各方面情况的不断调整与变化，医学全在线所提供的所有考试信息仅供参考，敬请考生以权威部门公布的正式信息为准。
