[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like cupping to me. There are some who believe that cupping a baby's chest and back will help draw fluids out of the lungs and alleviate congestion. I texted my crunchy granola, hippie cousin who is an acupuncturist and who does cupping to ask her and that's what she said. She also said that if cupping an infant or toddler, the marks should never be deep purple like on an adult because light cupping should be done. She said there's also something called gua sha where the skin is scrapped with spoons to cause petechiae. Several Asian cultures believe in the benefits of this she said, but she's never done it or heard of it done on young kids. I suppose if OP is from a culture that relies on Eastern medicine practices, it would be part of their norm. [/quote] Please go back to page 3 and read. OP has already said it is NOT cupping. OP has not said for sure, but it sounds like it is coining, which is similar but not identical.[/quote]
