A Las Vegas nonprofit school of Asian medicine is offering free acupuncture and cupping therapy Friday in celebration of its fourth anniversary.

Wongu University of Oriental Medicine, at 8630 S. Eastern Ave., is offering the services, plus a free tea sampling, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on a walk-in or appointment basis, according to a news release. Both interns and certified practitioners will provide services.

Wongu offers free services on occasion to help treat post-traumatic stress disorder. The university held a community clinic for a full month after the Oct. 1 shooting on the Las Vegas Strip.
