a Chinese women is getting a traditional chinese treatment, aslo called in the west as is supposed to ease pain.
In China, extensive research has been carried out on Cupping, and the practice is a mainstay of government-sponsored hospitals of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The fundamental therapeutic value of Cupping has been documented through several thousand years of clinical and subjective experience and has advanced its application to many areas. Women healers in communities throughout the world practiced of use of cups to heal, passing down their knowledge to their apprentices and as family tradition. Cross cultural studies show that women represented a major source of therapeutic assistance in many societies. Reliable sources hold that Cupping in throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia was usually performed by the women in the communities. By the thirteenth century, however, universities including medical studies in their curriculums excluded women. Despite the fact that non-official medicine has been poorly represented, women would have continued to play a major role in health care delivery. Had they been allowed to participate in the higher education arena, their contributions in natural healing modalities, and especially the safe and effective use and continuity of Cupping practices, would have been more substantial than by their male counterparts.
