Why is it that cupping on the back pulls out a lot of blood?

Cupping on the back can pull out a lot of blood stasis, which is a normal phenomenon during cupping, because the main purpose of cupping is to achieve the effect of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and dispelling wind and cold. Pulling out blood stasis actually shows that it has a certain therapeutic effect. It can help us get rid of the cold, activate the muscles and bones, and it can also have a good effect on relieving some local pain in the body. It is also a way to help us relieve stress and regulate the balance of yin and yang in the body.

1. Expel the cold

Through cupping, the moisture and cold air in the body can penetrate out through the skin tissue, thereby eliminating evil spirits and making people feel more energetic.

2. Moisturize the tendons and bones

Because the body's meridians, acupoints and internal organs are all interconnected, the external suction force 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 the body to be strengthened.

3. Relieve pain

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

4. The role of stress relief

In the process of the body's self-adjustment, it produces the effects of promoting qi and blood circulation, relaxing muscles and tendons, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and removing wind and dampness, acting as a benign stimulus to promote the recovery of normal functions.

5. Warming effect

Cupping has a warming and stimulating effect on local skin, which is most obvious with large fire cups, water cups, and medicine cups.

6. Regulate the body's yin and yang balance

Due to the autohemolysis phenomenon after cupping, a histamine-like substance is produced and circulates throughout the body with body fluids, stimulating various organs and enhancing their functional vitality, which helps to restore the body's functions.

7. 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.
