Jia uses the technique called "wet-cupping" to draw "bad" blood from behind a patinet's knees as a remedy for colds and flu. The clinic is offering their traditional treatments as an alternative to vaccinations and facial masks in an effort to combat the HINI virus, popularly known as swine flu. [Agencies] |
