In medicine, there is a health care method called pot pulling.

Cupping is to place the cupping cup at a certain point on the meridians, and then slide it up and down along the meridians, using the negative pressure of the cup to release all kinds of turbid air in the entire meridians, so as to achieve the therapeutic effect. However, this kind of therapy has relatively high requirements for doctors. First, they must understand the location of the meridians and the different meridians that need to be targeted for different symptoms. In addition, they must perform massage (kneading) and massage (pushing away) before pulling the pot. In this preparation, you must not pull the can when the muscles are very stiff, as this will cause the patient great pain. At the same time, you must understand the texture and direction of the muscles, and you cannot pull the can in the opposite direction. It is also necessary to understand the specific conditions of the patient before pulling the pot. Patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and older patients cannot be treated with this therapy. As for cupping, I won’t go into details. It’s just to the point, but it’s hard for us to see where the turbid air is located.

It is different from cupping: cupping is fixed-point. The effect is localized. The sliding tank has a large action area.

Cupping introduction:

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

Cupping therapy , also known as the "angle method", cupping 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, which can promote blood circulation, stimulate essence, regulate qi and blood, and achieve improvement. And the role of regulating human immunity.

Of course, cupping does not require very accurate acupoint positioning like acupuncture. It is mainly a matter of combining points, lines, and surfaces. Through the syndrome differentiation of cold, heat, deficiency, and excess in traditional Chinese medicine, , select some parts where the meridians pass or where the meridians gather.

"Cupping" is a unique treatment method that has been spread among the people in my country for a long time. It is commonly known as "cupping" and "suction tube". In "Cupping", It is called "cupping gas" in "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "cupping method" in "Surgery Zhengzong". In ancient times, it was mostly used for surgical carbuncle. At first, it was not a cup, but a horn tube with small holes ground to cover it. The affected area is drained of pus and blood, so it is also named "Angle Method" in some ancient books. The earliest written record of cupping to treat diseases is "Behind the Elbow" written by Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty between 281 and 361 AD.

Later, horn tubes were gradually replaced by bamboo pots, clay pots, and glass jars, and the scope of treatment expanded from early surgical carbuncles to rheumatic pain, back muscle strain, headaches, asthma, abdominal pain, trauma and congestion, Common symptoms of rheumatism, colds and all soreness.

Cupping is a kind of congestion therapy. It uses heat to expel the air in the cup, forming a negative pressure, causing the cup to be tightly sucked into the treatment area, causing congestion and thus resulting in treatment. The Chinese call it blood stagnation therapy. Because this method is simple and easy to perform and has obvious effects, it has been followed by the people for generations and continues to this day. Even some foreigners are interested in it.

Cupping is the most popular method in our country. I believe that many people, especially middle-aged and elderly people, are familiar with traditional Chinese medicine. Because it is simple to operate, convenient and easy to implement, it was once regarded by ordinary people as an important daily family treatment method.
