A patient is asking for "cupping" to be done to help treat a cough. In the Asian heritage, what is cupping?
1. Massaging an acupuncture site with a cup to treat neurological conditions
2. Placing a glass with a vacuum in on the patient's back to draw blood and lymph to the surface
3. Bleeding in a special cup in order to decrease heat from the body
4. Using moxibustion to treat conditions related to heat

Explanation: 1. Massaging an acupuncture site to treat neurological conditions is not done with a cup, for it is a complex system of massage.
2. Cupping involves placing a fire in a small glass to create a vacuum, then placing the glass on the back. This draws blood and lymph to the skin surface and decreases congestion.
3. Bleeding to remove heat from the body is done with leeches, not a cup.
4. Moxibustion is done by heating pulverized wormwood and passing it over the meridian points on the body.
