What are the benefits of cupping?

Cupping is a traditional technique of traditional Chinese medicine. It uses the can as a tool, and uses methods such as burning fire and pumping to remove the air in the can, resulting in negative pressure, so that it is adsorbed on the body surface of the acupoints or the parts to be pulled, causing local skin congestion and blood stasis. In order to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases, cupping therapy is also known as "suction tube therapy", and it was called "corner method" in ancient times. According to the severity of the patient's condition, cupping can be divided into flash cupping, walking cupping, retaining cupping and piercing cupping.

The role of cupping

Cupping acts on the skin of the body surface, adjusts the functions of the viscera through the overall action of the viscera, meridians, qi and blood, strengthens the body and removes pathogens, and balances yin and yang. In the self-adjustment of the body, cupping therapy produces the effects of invigorating qi and activating blood, relaxing tendons and collaterals, reducing swelling and pain relief, expelling wind and dampness, which acts as a benign stimulus and prompts the body to return to normal functions.

Regulate Yin and Yang

Cupping to reconcile yin and yang is achieved through the compatibility of acupoints and cupping techniques. For example, if the disease is in the meridian, the skin and the flesh belong to the surface, and it should be pulled lightly. If the disease is in the muscles and bones, it should be pulled hard. The regulation of yin and yang balance by cupping is bidirectional.

Promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis

"No pain, no pain", once the muscles, ligaments, and bones of the human body are damaged, blood stasis will occur locally, making the circulation of Qi and blood in the meridians not smooth. If the blood stasis does not disappear, the pain will not stop. At this time, cupping at the corresponding local acupoints can eliminate blood stasis, regenerate new blood, smooth the meridians, and run qi and blood, so as to achieve the purpose of "general rule without pain".

Clear heat and reduce swelling

According to the principle of "heat leads to disease" in traditional Chinese medicine, through the stimulation of cupping technique, the pathogenic heat can be released to achieve the purpose of clearing heat, so that the pathogenic yang heat inside can penetrate the body surface, and finally be excreted from the body to clear the body. Blood stasis heat, swollen poison.

Harmonize the viscera

Cupping therapy produces negative pressure attraction on the meridians and acupoints, causing congestion and blood stasis at the surface points.
