You mean this?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_cupping http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_cupping I think it differs in that fire cupping is not traditionally done over an existing open wound but rather specific locations on the body (neck, back). It might be a cheap way to do NWPT, but it would be hard to apply to uneven or bony areas like joints or hands/feet.
