I can attest from my extensive experience in Chinese medicine that combining cupping and scraping (after lubrication) is beneficial for temporarily alleviating migraines. Although the explanations I received did not link the treatment to the energetic side of life energy, in my estimation, the combination is also a treatment for acupressure points.
