Cupping therapy is an ancient technique of healing used for a whole spectrum of health problems in a wide range of ways, variations and methods. Besides the type of material used, the forms of application and explanation of the mechanism of the effect, the methods of its conduct differ. In addition to medical grasp of the subject, a broader and more comprehensive view of this method is also supported by a comparison of the historical variations and forms across territorial units and time horizon. For this purpose, both the historical context of cupping therapy on the territory of the Czech Republic, its archaic form captured within the community living in emigration in Ukraine and a brief overview of the current situation in the Czech Republic are depicted. The data was collected in 2008–2018 within three waves of resettled Czechs from Ukraine all over the territory of the Czech Republic.

The study writes about folk treatment and related practices as they have survived in the memory of Czech expatriates transferred from the regions of the former Soviet Union, namely from Ukraine and Kasakhstan, to the Czech Republic. A special attention is paid to ritualized practices and folk magic associated with the word, such as healing procedures, exorcism, and incantation. The means and approaches of folk medicine are viewed from the angle of ethno-medicine and medical anthropology. The presented knowledge are based on a field research among the expatriates transferred to the Czech Republic between 1991-1993, mainly from the regions of Zhitomir and Kiev in Ukraine, and between 1994-2001 from Kasakhstan. The field research was implemented between 2009-2012 in the whole Czech Republic. The mentions about folk treatment and related practices were recorded in nine locations. Fifty persons altogether were asked about folk treatment. As confirmed by the field research, the transferred expatriates used ritualized practices and applied exorcism in folk treatment. They have kept in their memories some practices and healing means recipes until today, twenty years after their transfer to the Czech Republic.
