Chinese medicine or Chinese Torture?


I recently started alternative medicine, Chinese medicine, for my chronic digestive issues.  Second week into my new alternative approach and this is me today.  Following my acupuncture treatment, this afternoon, I received......cupping. For those of you wondering, no, it wasn't painful. The glass cups were applied for approximately 5-10 minutes, until my skin turned a lovely shade of purple.  So, here I am, clearly needing to modify my wardrobe to NOT include strapless or backless attire until my swollen, purple spheres have faded.  I felt so energized and well rested following the treatment.  Next week, acupuncture and cup sliding.....hmmm.
