Phelps puts spotlight on cupping
菲魚愛上拔火罐，我中華神器火罐風靡里約
Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps led American swimmers to a gold medal in the 4x100-meter relay, but what grabbed media attention and led to stories and photos around the globe were the purple and red circles on his back. They were caused by the ancient Chinese healing treatment "cupping".
奧運會金牌得主麥克菲爾普斯帶領美國游泳隊獲得4x100接力賽金牌，但是吸引全世界媒體關注的，并以大量圖片文字報道的卻是他背部的皮膚上的紫紅色的幾個圓圈。這是因中國“拔火罐”的理療療法引起的。
Feng Ping, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctor who has been practicing in New York for 20 years, said she had clients who talked to her on Tuesday about Phelps' cupping treatment. "Fifteen years ago, clients didn't believe in (cupping) and who would say 'next time' when I recommended cupping and acupuncture. Now people would like to try it. Now people know about it," Feng said.
馮平，是一位中國傳統中醫師，他在紐約操作此法已經20年了，他稱星期二有顧客跟他說起關于菲爾普斯的拔火罐理療。“15年前，這兒的客戶不相信拔火罐療法，當每次向他們推薦拔火罐和針灸療法時他們總是推脫說‘下次吧’，現在人們都愿意嘗試了，人們也都了解了”馮平說。
