Cupping has its origins in ancient Chinese, Egyptian and Middle Eastern cultures dating back as early as 1550 B.C. Throughout its timeline cupping has been accomplished in a variety of methods such as utilizing hollow horns or tusks from animals for cups or lightly puncturing the skin before cupping to draw out blood, a tactic known as bloodletting.
