I am guessing (having sat near you for longer than a few minutes) that farting was involved...Nope. I guarantee whatever embarrassing story you come up with, this will top it.

Son of a beeotch! Will you quit saying that.I am guessing (having sat near you for longer than a few minutes) that farting was involved...
Apparently this is very old medicine. Chinese or Arabic or something. And I guess it is the thing to do. Photos of the Biebs and Gwyneth with their circles from their cuppings.My massage therapist suggested it once. She said because the layers of muscles were so tightly locked together, it would help separate them. Well, I trust the professionals. But they're not always right.
It gave me no perceived benefit, and it left dark purple circles all over my back that horrified Grandma.
Not doing that again.
You don't have to brush hard. It just a soft brushing to help drain toxins into the lymphatic system.I haven't done this. A good, strong massage and maybe hot stones is good enough for me.
I, personally, can't imagine being comfortable being cut or brushed hard enough for something to drain out of me without being under general anesthesia and a doctor's care.
Well, if you want to do it, then report back, but please don't let them do the wet cup/cutting thing!You don't have to brush hard. It just a soft brushing to help drain toxins into the lymphatic system.
You'll all note how much credence her response to me gave my supposition. I'll trust you all to make up your minds about who is being truthful on the matter.Son of a beeotch! Will you quit saying that.
For the record, I did NOT fart anywhere NEAR Hoss. I didn't!
...then Neil Sedaka picked it back up.....I'm with you on that one. Sounds a bit extreme just for a spa treatment and reminds me of the days when they used to leech people to get rid of the "bad" blood.
My gawd... what's next? Leeches? Whatever happened to good old manual labor as the best therapy?
Consider Reflexology. It doesn't suck as much.Even medical places say that lymph is where the body eliminates toxins. So, I believe that part. I think the more we can keep the lymph nodes from swelling with infection, the better off we are. So I get the science behind moving the lymph.
I would do the facial cupping.
No, I wouldn't do that.They did the hot cupping thing on The Amazing Race once. It looked awful. The players were in definite pain. And they had terrible purple circles on their backs afterwards. Not one of them enjoyed the experience, if I remember right. Didn't look very therapeutic or relaxing.
Here is a promo pic from the spa you're going to DJ...No, I wouldn't do that.
Leeches help heal skin grafts. And maggots are used to eat necrotic tissue. So, maybe there is something to this cupping. I honestly don't know. But the facial one looks relaxing. I'll try it and report back.
THat's the damn salt sucker. They aren't going to suck my salt.Here is a promo pic from the spa you're going to DJ...
