Me getting treated with heated glasses - traditional Chinese medicine

No, I don't have boils! This is a traditional cure for sprains and injuries. In my case an injured back. The glasses are heated so a vacume is created thereby promoting the circulation of blood to critical points of the body. I've found Chinese medicine to be effective and fast working. Unlike Western Chinese pharmacies the ones in China generally do not look like a witchdocters shops with roots and fruits in jars. All medicines are packaged neatly and professionally to western standards.

One peculiarity about Chinese pharmacies is that Sex toys are displayed openly on counters for all to see. This is especially strange as you can't even mention anything to do with sex without extreme embarrassment being enforced on the listener.
