实际上，拔罐这一传统中医疗法在欧美体育娱乐圈已经“火”了很多年了。据称，不少好莱坞明星如比伯（Justin Bieber）、詹妮弗·安妮斯顿（Jennifer Aniston）等都是拔罐爱好者。

In fact, cupping, a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, has been "hot" in European and American sports entertainment circles for many years. It is said that many Hollywood stars such as Justin Bieber and Jennifer Aniston are cupping lovers.

《每日邮报》在7月28日的一篇报道中，是这样介绍拔火罐的原理的：

拔罐的理念是用玻璃罐内的吸力把皮肤提拉起来，从而促进血液循环，缓解肌肉疼痛并刺激细胞自我修复。

The concept of cupping is to lift the skin with the suction in the glass jar, so as to promote blood circulation, relieve muscle pain and stimulate cell self-healing.

The form of acupuncture is based on the idea that suction from the cups draws the skin up and increases blood circulation, relieve muscle tension and prompts cell repair.

澳大利亚新闻网对拔罐的介绍更为深入：

拔罐的支持者认为，罐的吸力能够促进体内“气”的流动。“气”是汉语，指生命的力量。知名道教炼丹家、医药学家葛洪（Ge Hong）据称是第一个拔火罐的人。

Cupping supporters believe that the suction of the cupping can promote the flow of "Qi" in the body“ "Qi" is Chinese, referring to the power of life. Ge Hong, a famous Taoist alchemist and medical scientist, is said to be the first person to pull out the cupping.

拔火罐的实质是一种充血疗法，现在最常用的是玻璃罐，闪罐法和投火法。就是利用热力排出罐内的空气形成负压，使罐紧紧的吸附在施治的部位，造成充血现象，从而达到治疗作用。也就是说形成负压比较充分，拔罐就可以拔得紧。这种方法需要特别注意的就是，操作中要防止烫伤。

Cupping is actually a kind of hyperemia therapy. Now the most commonly used are glass jar, flash jar method and fire throwing method. It is to use heat to discharge the air in the tank to form a negative pressure, so that the tank is tightly adsorbed on the treated part, resulting in congestion, so as to achieve the therapeutic effect. In other words, if the negative pressure is sufficient, the cupping can be pulled tightly. This method requires special attention to prevent scalding during operation.

近些年来，随着中医药得到越来越多国际友人的关注和喜爱，更多神秘的“东方力量”开始风靡海外，包括中药材紫苏等，可以在英美的美食节目中看到厨师们隆而重之地请上餐桌，强调它抗氧化的神奇作用。

You can see chefs' long and important invitation to the table in British and American food programs, emphasizing its magical role in anti oxygenation.

国外社交平台上，尝试针灸的外国人不在少数。美国真人秀明星金·卡戴珊甚至用针灸疗法美容对抗岁月痕迹。

On foreign social platforms, many foreigners try acupuncture. American reality TV star Kim Kardashian even used acupuncture to fight against the traces of years.
