The method is called Cupping therapy and is a form of alternative medicine.
A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. According to the American Cancer Society, "[a]vailable scientific evidence does not support cupping as a cure for cancer or any other disease". It can leave temporary bruised painful marks on the skin and there is also a small risk of burns.
Being that it is an alternative medicine, some people will say it really works and some people will say it is "fiction".
