Cupping set dating from 1850,England. The set includes a brass syringe,scarificator and glass cups. This set would have been used in a procedure called 'wet cupping',a form of bloodletting used in the nineteenth century to 'treat' a range of ailments. The scarificator is used to cut the skin,then the cup would be placed over the wound. A vacuum is created within the cupping vessel using a flame,the resulting suction would draw blood out of the surface of the skin through the wound | |
