Why is the blood thick after cupping?

Cupping can not only relax our tired body, but also remove moisture from the body and relieve many diseases. Cupping and bloodletting is a common treatment method of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If the blood becomes viscous after cupping, it is generally necessary to stop cupping and bloodletting. It is best to go to the hospital to check the blood as soon as possible to see if it is caused by any underlying disease. Maintenance after cupping is also very important.

Is cupping and bloodletting good for the body? But it also has certain side effects. The specific advantages and disadvantages are as follows:

benefit:

Bloodletting to reduce fever: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fever can be divided into Yang-excess fever and Yin-deficiency fever. Cupping and bloodletting are suitable for relieving Yang-excess fever. Because Yang Qi is strong, blood will inevitably be strong. Cupping and bloodletting can reduce the strong blood, thereby reducing the evil heat in the blood vessels and restoring the body's Qi and blood to normal.

Bleeding to relieve pain: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that diseases with internal pain symptoms must have blockages in the meridians. The use of cupping and bloodletting can directly bring out the stagnant pathogens in the meridians and adjust the blockages. Once the meridians are unblocked, the pain will be relieved. Sore throat, migraine and other symptoms can be treated by cupping and bloodletting.

Bloodletting to drain fire: Internal disturbance of fire and heat can lead to a variety of symptoms, causing patients to have sores in the mouth and tongue, swollen and painful limbs, irritability, fever and other symptoms. The method of cupping and bloodletting can stop the fire and heat and drain it with the blood, which is suitable for the treatment of a variety of heat syndromes.

Bloodletting to reduce swelling and relieve pain: When the body's meridians are stagnant due to qi stagnation and blood stasis, swelling and pain will occur. Cupping and bloodletting can directly eliminate the stagnant qi, blood and pathogens in the local meridians, restore the meridians to smooth flow, and achieve the purpose of reducing swelling and relieving pain.

Bloodletting for detoxification: When the body is in a pathological state, it cannot resist toxic pathogens due to its own dysfunction, which will lead to the production of heat toxins in the body and symptoms such as sores, carbuncles, and ulcers. Cupping and bloodletting can not only expel the toxic pathogens that have invaded the body with the blood, but also regulate blood and qi, restore the body's functions to normal, and inhibit the spread or recurrence of pathogens.

Bloodletting to stop itching: Itching symptoms on the skin are a manifestation of the presence of wind evil in the blood vessels. Therefore, Chinese medicine has the treatment principle of "treating the blood before treating the wind". Cupping and bloodletting can regulate blood and qi, promote the smooth flow of blood vessels, force the wind evil to dissipate, and achieve the effect of dispelling wind and stopping itching.

side effect:

1. If cupping and bloodletting are not performed properly and disinfection is not thorough, it can easily cause skin damage, bacterial invasion, and infection.

2. If cupping and blood-letting are excessive, it can easily lead to qi and blood deficiency and insufficient yang energy in the patient, which will affect the blood supply to the heart and brain over time.

Why is the blood thick after cupping?

Generally, depending on your physical condition, it is better to do it once a week, and it is appropriate to select about 3 acupoints each time. Do not drain too much, as it will hurt the body's positive energy. After cupping and bloodletting, the local skin pores are opened, making it easy to be affected by wind and cause infection. Therefore, you need to avoid wind and avoid taking a bath in water. Generally, you can take a bath two days after cupping and bloodletting.
