First - I get the Oriental Medical Clinic, and they explain a lot of it in Korean really fast, so I caught about 50% of what was being said - the part I understood was that there would be some blood... So, they lay me down and begin to put about 30 needles throughout my body... Small small needles. When he put them in it didn't hurt at all... Then they attach a small wire to each needle (like when you jump start your car) and they proceed to give each needle an electrical shock! I wasn't expecting that. That lasted about 40 minutes.
Second - I was sure I was done after that, so I said thanks, then they said "wait, you need to go upstairs for MORE!" So, I went upstairs into the unknown! I got up there and I once again laid down, and this time they attached small circular sticky things to my stomach and legs, and they were also attached to an electrical current. For about 20 minutes they charge these sticky things, and it does crazy things.. It felt like my muscles were being twisted around in circles... This is supposed to get the blood flowing, and start removing toxins from the body.... So, after this 20 minutes of electricity I thought - For sure I am done now.. but alas....
Third - They removed all the sticky patches, and then the nurse brought over this cart with about 16 ceramic tea cups, and a flame... WHAT! She proceeded to place a tea cup over the flame and then place it directly onto my stomach.. It would then attach to my stomach like a suction cup (a very painful one) she did that with all 16 tea cups... and that stayed on my stomach for 10 minutes.. When she finally removed them, I had 16 perfectly circular bruises all over my stomach - which I guess is a good thing, because it is removing the toxins.....
That is my experience.....
Here is a picture from wikepedia of what the bruises looks like - I opted for that picture instead one of my own stomach!! Just imagine 16 of those bruises across my stomach!!
