COINING: AN ANCIENT TREATMENT WIDELY PRACTICED AMONG ASIANS
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl ... -06-97.pdf
Many years ago a moto dop driver took me to a chicken farm in the provinces. It was quite a desperate, squalid place but I was fresh off the boat and already paid the driver to take me. I chose the best from a rather bad bunch, went home and noticed these red stripes across her back.
I had mega guilty feelings as I thought she was a victim of human traffiking and obviously beaten by a pimp. I still got my money's worth despite this. Later I came to know about the coining and such and the penny dropped and my conscience was cleared.

Here's some info about koah kshal (Koh kjol) I posted here about four years ago from this thread http://www.khmer440.com/chat_forum/view ... =1&t=46188

In the last decade, research has begun to clarify how Gua sha works. Gua sha’s therapeutic petechiae represent blood cells that have extravasated in the capillary bed and measure as a significant increase in surface microperfusion. As this blood is reabsorbed, the breakdown of hemoglobin upregulates HO-1, CO, biliverdin and bilirubin, which are anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective. Studies show the anti-inflammatory effect of Gua sha has a therapeutic impact in inflammatory conditions, such as active chronic hepatitis, where liver inflammation indicates organ breakdown that over time can lead to premature death. The physiology of HO-1 may also explain Gua sha’s anti-inflammatory effect in other responsive clinical conditions, such as fever, cough, asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, mastitis, gastritis, musculoskeletal and other painful conditions presenting as neck pain, back pain, migraine, postherpetic neuralgia and others. Gua sha’s anti-inflammatory and immune protective properties are important for practitioners to understand and be able to communicate to their patients as well as to other health care practitioners.**( Arya Nielsen, PhD

A first-of-its-kind randomized, controlled trial conducted in Germany
Gua sha is an interesting and ancient therapy for musculoskeletal pain, but its physiological mechanisms of action remain largely undefined. All patients in this current study had very long-standing chronic neck pain, and following a single treatment the Gua sha group had a very meaningful 65% reduction in pain compared with only 14% in the control group. These results are impressive; however, several points need consideration…

I can understand why the OP asked this. The first time I saw it I thought it was some weird disease.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Don’t feel silly, when I first saw that I was worried the person (eventual brother in law) had something contagious. My missus explained it to me.Savage wrote:gavinmac wrote:Cupping and coining marks?

I always thought it was Koas K’Yal. As in K’Yal meaning wind.
Now I’ve seen a few people writing k’shal I’m wondering if I’ve been saying it wrong for years?
Anyone know how it is written in Khmer? Jamie?
