RE: Chinese Pseudoscience #2: Cupping
I'm sorry to say so, but in the past people in Greece used cupping to cure a cold, I think my late grandmother would perform the technique too.
I prefer more scientifically accepted methods though (in other words: give me those drugs!)
Cupping is surprisingly global from what I was reading, since bloodletting in general has thrived for millenia, but I didn't look into it enough to see if it spread from China or kind of evolved separately... Guess I should find out!
Cheap methods that substitute medicine always spread. Well, you can make another part and some more history digging...
