Is the blood from bloodletting and cupping black?

With the improvement of people's health awareness, more and more people pay attention to health preservation. Many people usually have the habit of cupping. Some people's blood is black after cupping, which shows that there is heat congestion in the human body and it is a manifestation of poor blood circulation. This is mostly due to the obstruction of meridians in the human body, and the harmful components in the blood cannot be discharged in time, which causes the flowing blood to be black.

Pay attention to these 5 points when cupping

1. First, go to a formal place

Cupping requires professional techniques and skills, as well as some support from traditional Chinese medicine theories, so it is best not to go to some small workshops or try cupping at home. If cupping is not done properly, not only will it fail to remove moisture from the body, it may even cause serious harm to the patient's skin.

It is recommended that you go to a professional place for treatment. It is best not to go to a cheap place or place with no certification for cupping just because it is cheap. This may cause damage to your skin and the loss will outweigh the gain.

2. Control the number of cupping sessions

Cupping is not a health care activity that can be performed frequently, because human skin has a limit to its tolerance, and the principle of cupping is to use heat to cause a difference in pressure, thereby removing moisture, so it is actually still somewhat harmful to the skin. If cupping is performed continuously for a long time, it is likely to cause damage to the skin's soft tissue. It is not recommended that you use this method for health care.

It is recommended that you wait until the marks of the cupping become smaller before proceeding with the next cupping.

3. The time of cupping should be controlled

The time of cupping should not be too long, but also not too short. If it is too long, it will cause great damage to the skin. If it is too short, it will have no effect. The best time is to be able to control it within about half an hour. It is best to keep it shorter than this time, so that the damage to the skin will not be so great.

It is recommended that you do it under the guidance of a professional and do not try it on your own.

4. The number of cupping should be controlled

Cupping is a health care project, which is usually performed on relevant acupuncture points on the human body, so the number of cuppings should not be too many, especially the distance between the cupping cups should be well controlled to give the blood a certain space to flow, so that it will be better for the skin.

5. The darker the color, the better

Generally, we see that the color depth of cupping is different for different people. Generally speaking, if the blood circulation is normal, the color after cupping is also relatively normal and lighter. However, for people with heavy moisture in the body and poor blood circulation, the color is generally darker and the condition is relatively more serious.

Finally, it is worth noting that not everyone is suitable for cupping. People with skin diseases, high blood pressure, some pregnant women, etc. cannot use cupping, especially those with blood diseases. If cupping is forced, it will not only fail to achieve the effect of health care and dehumidification, but may even cause great harm to one's own body, which is highly undesirable.
