What is Cupping and why the Rio Olympic athletes use it?
I don’t know if you are a sports fan or not, but I am and I wanted to say that I was pleasantly surprised to see some of the athletes competing in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games with mysterious purple, round blotches on their bodies, especially the back or the shoulders. It was very ostensible […]

Have you ever wondered why do you laugh when tickled? And what is the mechanism behind this? Well, I had and I want to share with you my findings. You don’t spend a lot of time in any medical school learning about laughter. Almost at all. All you hear is that laugher is good for […]
