Cupping Therapy is Used Throughout the Ages
The practice of cupping therapy dates back early as 3000 B.C. In the Ebbers Papyrus, written c. 1550 BC, one of the oldest medical textbooks in the Western world, details the Egyptians’ use of cupping therapy. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates (c. 460 – c. 370 BC) used cupping for internal disease and structural problems, and Roman surgeons used it for bloodletting. Finally, ancient China recorded the earliest use of cupping from the famous Taoist alchemist and herbalist Ge Hong (281-341 A.D.)
