“AS PAINFUL AS IT LOOKS”… says Senior (Right) Alan Perez to Senior (Left) Emanuel Veloz, as he uses an air pump and suction cups on his back, other participants saying it’s not that bad. As an at-school project done by students of the AP Chinese class, students were given a choice of having consent forms signed to get some in-person learning about Chinese Medicine. Chinese Cupping Therapy is a form of Chinese medicine used around the world, with benefits ranging between spiritual and physical. Sucking the cold air out of your body to rejuvenate yourself, as well as moving muscle building and recovery along. One of the most famous examples is decorated Olympian Micheal F. Phelps, who went viral online, for the Cupping Therapy marks left on his body during his competitions.

O’Malley I agree because you won’t know until you try it. It can be good and not be hurtful. Yessica Martinez Castillo said it feels like a pinch and stiff. So not that hurtful.

O’Malley- I agree with this article cause students signed a consent form not only did they benefit from this Chinese Medicine but it also taught them more about Chinese culture. I have done this back when I was a lot smaller in Mexico and while it does hurt a bit the aftermath of it was refreshing.
