What are the benefits of cupping for people

Many Chinese medicine clinics now offer cupping, which can relieve pain and alleviate symptoms of body pain. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that the blockage is due to blood stasis, which causes pain. Cupping is to absorb the air out of blocked areas in the body to make the body unobstructed. Here we will introduce some benefits of cupping to people and some precautions of cupping.

1. Because the body's meridians, acupoints and internal organs are all interconnected, the external suction will stimulate the acupoints on the body's surface, and then through the tendons, bones and meridians, the internal organs of the human body will be adjusted accordingly, allowing the blood to flow smoothly and strengthening the body.

2. Balance yin and yang. We can only have a healthy body if the yin and yang in each of our bodies are balanced. Cupping can harmonize yin and yang.

Fever is a manifestation of excessive Yang Qi, while chills and aversion to cold are symptoms of excessive Yin Qi. Cupping at Dazhui can treat fever diseases, while cupping at Guanyuan can treat cold diseases.

3. Cupping is also effective for local tissue damage, lumbar disc herniation and other symptoms. Long-term and regular cupping can relieve pain and alleviate symptoms.

5. Cupping can allow moisture and cold air in the body to penetrate through the skin tissue, thereby eliminating evil spirits and making people feel more energetic.

6. Assist in diagnosis. By observing all the changes on the body surface after cupping, we can infer the nature and location of the disease and its relationship with the internal organs.

7. Two-way adjustment. When the clinical acupoint selection and cupping methods remain unchanged, cupping therapy has a bidirectional benign regulatory effect.

8. Eliminate pathogenic factors. Regular cupping can effectively eliminate pathogenic factors and is very beneficial to the body.

Cupping therapy uses negative pressure to suck the acupuncture points on the body surface, which can not only open the pores and dispel wind and cold, but also adjust the functions of the internal organs and meridians, invigorate the body's positive energy, and help expel evil spirits from the body.

When performing cupping therapy, the room must maintain an appropriate temperature and avoid drafts. The basic technique of cupping requires stability, accuracy and speed. The suction force is determined by factors such as the timing and speed of cupping, the size of the cup, and the temperature inside the cup.

Before cupping, you must accurately select the treatment area. The best areas for cupping are those with plump muscles, abundant subcutaneous fat tissue and less hair. Cupping is not suitable for areas with superficial blood vessels, delicate skin, ulcer scars, nose, eyes, etc., as well as areas with loose skin and many wrinkles.

During the cupping process, you should always observe and ask the patient about his or her feelings and condition, and pay attention to the patient's local and systemic reactions. When the patient shows symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, pale complexion, cold limbs, rapid breathing, and weak pulse, the cupping device should be removed in time, and the patient should be allowed to lie flat with his head low and his feet high, and given an appropriate amount of warm boiled water. The patient will return to normal after lying quietly for a while.

When cupping, the patient should be advised not to move to avoid the cup falling off and causing burns or bruises. When a large number of cupping treatments are performed, the distance between the cups should not be too close, so as to avoid the cups pulling the skin and causing pain, or causing skin damage due to overlapping cupping, or even causing the cups to fall off due to squeezing each other.
