Shamanic practices contributed to the belief that cupping could expel evil spirits and restore balance, influencing its early development and spiritual significance.

Shamanic practices only influenced the aesthetic design of cupping tools, not their perceived spiritual or healing properties.

Shamanic practices were entirely unrelated to the development of cupping therapy, which was purely based on physical observations.

Shamanic practices led to the rejection of cupping therapy in early Chinese medicine due to conflicting spiritual beliefs.
