The practitioner may use a cup made of glass, metal, or wood (notably bamboo) and burn alcohol, alcohol-soaked cotton wool, herbs, paper, or a taper therein. Before or after the burning is complete, the practitioner applies the cup upside-down to a relatively flat body surface and leaves it in this position for five to ten minutes. Results include erythema (reddening of the skin due to capillary expansion), edema (excessive fluid accumulation in tissue spaces), and ecchymoses (purple discoloration of the skin due to rupture of blood vessels). The above description relates to fire cupping (the fire cupping method), which has several forms.

| Pneumatic Trabeculoplasty (PNT) Has Not Been Proven Safe and Effective for Treating Glaucoma, 27/1/2006 |
| PNT temporarily squeezes the front of the eyeball and raises the IOP to 65 and perhaps even higher. In someone with an already damaged optic nerve, this could be serious. The accepted treatment for glaucoma is to lower the IOP with medication or surgery. Experiments in monkeys have demonstrated that sudden pressure elevations can compromise the blood supply to the optic nerve and accelerate nerve cell death in already weakened cells , and human experiments have found that acute pressure increases can increase cupping of the optic nerve . Two cases have been reported of patients who lost part of their vision following refractive surgery during which a suction ring was applied to their eyeball . Although no such complications have been reported with PNT, it still should be viewed with caution. Damage from high IOP may not be immediately apparent because visual impairment from glaucoma typically takes many years to develop. Proof of safety and effectiveness would require long-term studies showing not only that IOP is lowered, but also that the patients' visual fields have not been adversely affected.
