The world is full of fascinating practices that most of us have yet to experience, and probably never will. One of the greatest things about social media in the present day is that we get exposed to things we may not have otherwise thought twice about; whether we actually understand them, though, is another matter altogether.
In a lot of ways, this is one of the few remaining charms that many jaded scrollers can appreciate in the toxic online cesspit we choose to log onto every day, even if we're left with more questions than answers. Case in point is a video that has recently baffled both TikTok and Twitter for its presentation of a process that quite honestly defies logical explanation.
The video came from TikTok account @6xe03d, which appears to be dedicated to tutorials of traditional, rural Chinese practices that range from cooking meals to paper making. Despite the widespread confusion in the comments, the caption briefly explains that the man in the video is practising moxibustion, a form of traditional Chinese medicine therapy meant to aid detoxifying the body and expelling cold. While we can't vouch for the efficacy of this as a medical treatment, it still makes for mesmerizing viewing.
