In the treatment, which is said to stimulate blood flow and “promote general wellbeing”, glass vessels are placed at pressure points on the body to create a vacuum.

The marks on Jennifer’s skin had been caused by cupping, an ancient Chinese alternative medicine. In the treatment, which is said to stimulate blood flow and “promote general wellbeing”, glass vessels are placed at pressure points on the body to create a vacuum.

The yoga-loving actress has been a fan of cupping for years and has previously been spotted with similar marks on her back. Other fans of the method include Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow, who credited it with helping her find “Mr Right” â€" Coldplay singer Chris Martin, whom she married in 2003.

Aniston, 44, does not appear in Call Me Crazy, but was executive producer on the TV film. She said she had been lucky to pull together a “dream team” cast for the project, which explores mental illness among five different people.

The film will be broadcast on the Lifetime Television network in the US on Saturday.
