Can you cup your belly button? There are so many benefits

Many people think that cupping can only be done on the back, but in fact it can also be done on the navel. This can help remove bacteria and moisture from the body. In addition, girls who suffer from irregular menstruation or dysmenorrhea can also do cupping frequently. This can help remove the cold from the body and is beneficial for regulating menstruation and dysmenorrhea.

The acupoint on the navel is called "Shenque", which is one of the important acupoints of the Ren meridian. The fetus receives nutrition from the mother through the umbilical cord, so the navel is the "root of life" and the gateway for the spirit to enter and exit. The Ren meridian leads all the yin meridians of the body, running through the center of the chest and abdomen, connecting to the heart and lungs above, passing through the spleen and stomach in the middle, and reaching the liver and kidneys below. Therefore, Shenque point is the sea of ​​meridian qi and the foundation of the five internal organs. Regular cupping at Shenque point has the effects of strengthening the spleen and kidneys, restoring yang and rescuing adverse conditions, harmonizing the stomach and intestines, promoting qi and diuresis, dispersing stagnation and relieving stagnation, and promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation. Some navel ointments currently sold on the market are based on this principle. If the medicine can be applied directly to the navel after cupping, the effect will be more obvious.

Belly button cupping is a very good health-preserving method, because the belly button is generally the channel for the invasion of cold air, which is why there are symptoms such as colds and fevers. You can do some belly button cupping regularly, which can help remove bacteria and moisture from the body. In addition, if there are girls who suffer from irregular menstruation or dysmenorrhea, they can also do cupping regularly, which can help remove the cold from the body and is good for regulating menstruation and dysmenorrhea. Therefore, girls can try to regulate their bodies through this method.

However, when cupping at the Shenque point, you should be careful that the negative pressure in the cup should not be too large, and the cupping time should not be too long. It is best to choose a negative pressure cup, because the negative pressure of the cup is easy to adjust and it is not easy to burn the skin. The cup can be removed when the skin becomes congested or slightly bruised.
