Cupping therapy, having rapidly developed in basic theory and clinical practice, has become an improved, independent branch of medicine. At present, more people are found using this traditional method of therapy for treatment, and for keeping fit. Kang Zhu's cupping appliance, which is developed and manufactured by Beijing Kangda Experimental Factory, has managed to combine the advantages of traditional cups into their new product.

The cupping appliance, which is extremely durable and almost unbreakable, is convenient and safe to use, and may be utilized by hospitals, as well as families
