Traditional Chinese medicine as alternative to fight H1N1

Traditional Chinese medicine Professor Jia Yucheng watches over a patient after he attached a glass cup to her leg at a clinic in central Beijing November 24, 2009. Jia uses the technique called "wet-cupping" to draw 'bad' blood from behind a patinet's knees as a remedy for colds and flu. The clinic is offering their traditional treatments as an alternative to vaccinations and facial masks in an effort to combat the H1N1 virus, popularly known as swine flu. [Agencies]
