There is a health care method in medicine called cupping.

Cupping is to put cupping on a certain point of the meridian, then slide up and down along the meridian, and use the negative pressure of the cupping to eliminate all kinds of polluted air in the whole meridian, thus achieving the therapeutic effect. However, this therapy requires doctors to know the location of meridians and the different meridians that different symptoms need to target, and before cupping, two preparatory works must be carried out: massage (kneading) and massage (pushing away), and muscles must not be stiff. Cupping also depends on the patient's specific situation. Patients with heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and too old can't be treated with this therapy. As for cupping, I won't go into details. It's just right, but it's hard for us to see where the turbid gas is.

Unlike cupping: cupping is fixed. Local restrictions on action. The action area of the sliding groove is large.

Introduction to cupping:

Cupping, like acupuncture, is also a kind of physical therapy, and cupping is one of the best physical therapies.

Cupping therapy, also known as "angle therapy", artificially causes capillary rupture and congestion through physical stimulation and negative pressure, mobilizes the repair function of human stem cells and the absorption function of necrotic blood cells, promotes blood circulation, stimulates essence and regulates qi and blood, and achieves the effect of improving and regulating human immunity.

Of course, cupping is not as accurate as acupuncture, mainly because of the combination of points, lines and surfaces. Through the syndrome differentiation of cold, heat, deficiency and excess in traditional Chinese medicine, select some parts where meridians pass or qi gathers.

"Cupping" is a unique therapeutic method, which has been circulated among the people in China for a long time. Commonly known as "cupping" and "suction tube", it is called "cupping gas" in Compendium of Materia Medica and "cupping method" in authentic surgery. In ancient times, it was mostly used for surgical carbuncle. At first, it was not cupping, but a trumpet with a small hole.

Later, the trumpet tube was gradually replaced by bamboo pot, pottery pot and glass pot, and the scope of treatment also expanded from early surgical carbuncle to rheumatic pain, lumbar muscle strain, headache, asthma, abdominal pain, traumatic congestion, common rheumatic cold and various pains.

Cupping is a kind of hyperemia therapy, which uses heat to exhaust the air in the jar to form negative pressure, so that the jar can be tightly sucked at the treatment site, resulting in hyperemia, thus producing therapeutic effect. China people call it blood stasis therapy. Because this method is simple and effective, it has been used in folk dynasties and has never failed. Even some foreigners are interested.

Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy in China. I believe many people, especially middle-aged and elderly people, will not be unfamiliar with it, because it is simple and convenient to operate, and was once regarded as an important daily treatment method in the family by ordinary people. We interviewed experts such as Diao Benshu, a famous provincial Chinese medicine practitioner, on how to use cupping safely and effectively at home.
