Induldging in Chinese Traditional Medicine




While we are in China Gavin is learning about Traditional Chinese Medicine. This day he learned about cupping, and then we went for a session.  To get the cups to stick on your back they dip a cotton ball in alcohol, set it on fire, insert it in a cup, and quickly put the cup and flame quickly on your back (or legs, arms, etc.).  It is supposed to increase circulation and help your body heal the affected area.



I couldn't believe Gavin was brave enough to try it!  I love how adventurous he is....you can see Sam in the back ground.  He wanted no part of it.
