Why are there cupping and scraping in many places in Southeast Asia?

Looking at the current medical system, there are generally three treatment methods, one is western medicine, the other is Chinese medicine, and the third is the combination of Chinese and western medicine. And the most effective, should be the combination of Chinese and western medicine. Some methods of western medicine are too simple, and diseases can be treated directly, while Chinese medicine is complicated, with many methods and concepts, which are not recognized by people now. There are two methods in Chinese medicine, cupping and scraping. There is a great controversy about this method now. In China, this method is very common in rural areas because of different ideas. And this method is often seen in Southeast Asia, because most people in Southeast Asia are immigrants from China, and their ideas were formed at that time.

First of all, the effects of cupping and scraping are different from those in Southeast Asia. Many things in China were ahead of the world at that time. Besides, Southeast Asia is just a desolate and remote place, which used to belong to some small countries. So many messengers brought these things to Southeast Asia. Later, what they thought was China's, after comprehensive study and acceptance, cupping and scrapping were formed, which was very popular and common there. This is because of their thoughts. They thought their situation was inferior to that of China, so they paid special attention to things from China. Almost completely accepted the treatment brought by China at that time.

2. Most residents in Southeast Asia are of Chinese descent. Our ancestors went to Southeast Asia to escape the war, and at the same time brought some local living habits and technologies. Now we can see many places similar to ours in Southeast Asia. Because cupping and scraping can really relieve temporary pain or problems. Southeast Asians think this is amazing, so they accepted the cupping and scraping method from China, and it is being popularized.

Cupping and scraping was meaningful at that time, but it seems strange and strange to the present society, and its effect is useless. Now medical technology is convenient, cupping and scraping are not common in Southeast Asia, so I choose to accept a newer method. The popularity of western medicine in the world has had a great influence. It has reduced many people's injuries and treated many diseases. Its function may be more direct and obvious than traditional Chinese medicine. In addition, people have misunderstood before, and now people are slowly accepting it. Every place absorbs the essence and discards its dross. Cupping and scraping is not particularly good for this kind of thing, and the reasons are not necessarily correct. Southeast Asia is gradually useless.
