Elsevier - Cupping
Cupping Therapy by Ilkay Zihni Chirali

Cupping is an ancient therapy used by many cultures for thousands of years. It involves introducing a flame into a glass, bamboo or a china cup, which will expel oxygen and create a vacuum. This action is followed by the practitioner rapidly turning the cup on to the desired location on the patient's body.

To accompany Ilkay Chirali's book, written for publisher Elsevier, we filmed ten cupping procedures in a one day, two camera shoot.
