Traditional Chinese medicine Professor Jia Yucheng uses a burning stick to create a vacuum on a glass cup he attached to a patient's leg at a clinic in central Beijing November 24, 2009. 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] |
