Hot jar therapy for bronchitis?!
Question: I recall when i was small having jars the size of baby food jars placed on my back then fire lit inside the jar and they would sort of suck the skin in (there would be no fire in the jar), i think also maybe some cream was used? what is this called ? I am from Russia but i think this is an asian technique

This therapy is called cupping, and yes it is chinese practice.

Are you talking about cupping? This is one of the weirdest alternatve methods I've ever seen, with no scientific basis at all that I can see other than causing endorphine release. Good luck.
