Abstract
Chinese Cupping Therapy (CCT) is considered an alternative medicine which is categorized as a pseudoscience. It is an application of ancient medical practices to heal internal medical symptoms. Unlike, the acupuncture technique which required inquiry of the skin, CCT offers safer and effective treatments for particular groups of patients, particularly for older people with diabetes or skin allergies that require special skincare. In order to collect contemporary practices, the researcher collected qualitative data from 25 Chinese medical doctors and professionals about the techniques of CCT and their experience. CCT allows the patient to self-heal their yin-yang balancing, patients with special symptoms to heal their body without inquiry and provide alternative treatments for older people with special conditions. The result of this study responds to the gap of English literature reviews in the field of CCT and the techniques of CCT for special patients. In addition, the personal techniques and applications sharing encourage the readers of this study to improve their techniques for their patients.
