It’s not for a dinosaur costume party. It’s a form of dry cupping, an alternative medicine practice that uses heated cups to create suction on the body. The intention is to increase blood flow to the area, to aid in healing. Cupping has been practiced for over 3,000 years, and traditionally it uses glass cups. These horns are likely sourced from domestic water buffalo. Despite its use by Olympic athletes, there is little scientific evidence that suggests cupping provides health benefits. It can provide a sharp outfit, however.
