How can I cupping? thank you

Flash fire method is to quickly remove the air from the tank with burning alcohol cotton balls and stick them on the affected area immediately.

The cotton swab sticking method is to stick an alcohol cotton swab in a jar and stick it on the affected area immediately after burning.

Before cupping, you can apply a thin layer of oil to the affected area to protect the skin and increase the adsorption force. Cupping treatment time is generally 10 ~ 20 minutes, and cupping can also be performed after local skin turns red and purple. When lifting the can, first press the skin with one hand, and tilt the can with the other hand to form a gap for air to enter, and the cupping will fall off. After taking out the cans, gently wipe the oil on the skin with a warm towel or soft paper, and let the patient rest in bed for a while.

Sometimes after cupping, blisters will appear on the skin, and the smaller ones can be left untreated. The larger one should be treated with sterile acupuncture, release the liquid in the blister, and cover the sterile dressing with gentian violet coating for fixation.

Cupping principle ※

1, mechanical stimulation. Cupping therapy is to exhaust air, so that negative pressure is generated in the tank, so that the edge of the tank is closely attached to the skin surface, pulling nerves, muscles, blood vessels and subcutaneous glands, which can cause a series of neuroendocrine reactions, adjust the vasomotor function and vascular permeability, and thus improve local blood circulation.

2. Negative pressure effect. The negative pressure of cupping makes local congestion and congestion rapidly, even small capillaries rupture, red blood cells are destroyed and hemolysis occurs. Hemoglobin released by red blood cells is a benign stimulus to the body, which can regulate the functions of tissues and organs in two directions through the nervous system, promote the phagocytosis of white blood cells, improve the sensitivity and tolerance of skin to external changes, and thus enhance the immunity of the body. Secondly, the strong suction of negative pressure can make sweat gland pores fully open, the functions of sweat gland and sebaceous gland are stimulated and strengthened, and the aged cells on the skin surface fall off, thus accelerating the discharge of toxins and wastes in the body.

3。 Warm action. The local warming effect of cupping not only increases blood vessel dilation and blood flow, but also enhances the permeability of blood vessel wall and phagocytosis of cells. The changes of vascular tension and mucosal permeability, accelerated lymphatic circulation and enhanced phagocytosis during cupping undoubtedly formed a good environment against biological causes for infectious diseases. In addition, the chronic stimulation of hemolysis has a health care effect on human body.

What diseases are suitable for cupping? ※?

Cupping is often used to treat low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, rheumatic pain, stiff neck, cold, indigestion, insomnia, menopausal syndrome and so on. Cupping at home can only play an auxiliary treatment role, and it is best to go to the hospital for treatment if the condition is serious, so as not to delay the treatment opportunity. Several methods of cupping at home to treat common diseases.

Low back pain: cupping at waist pain and Weizhong point (in the middle of leg bend) 10- 15 minutes, 1 time every day.

Scapulohumeral periarthritis: Cupping at the painful part of shoulder 10- 15 minutes, once a day 1 time.

Stiff neck: Look for tender points in the affected neck and back, and cupping for about 10 minutes.

Cupping: Find out the cause of pain before you start. ※. ※

When patients use cupping devices in their own homes, they must find out the cause of pain before using them. If it is pain caused by some chronic diseases, such as lumbar strain or sprain, patients can use it by themselves if they have a clear cause and doctor's advice, which is also beneficial to treatment. However, the causes of pain are sometimes very complicated. Therefore, Professor Bai does not advocate people to use cupping for self-diagnosis and treatment when the cause is unclear, because cupping that is not symptomatic will not cause harm to the body, but will delay the illness and may bring serious consequences. In addition, people with skin damage or bleeding-prone diseases (such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, purpura, etc. ) are not suitable for cupping therapy.

So, how to use cupping correctly? If cupping is needed on large muscles such as the back, it is best to use a slightly larger pot, which has great suction and good effect within the range that the human body can bear. In cupping, no matter whether it is a big pot or a small pot, you can't pull it with brute force. The correct technique is to press the skin on the edge of the jar with your fingers, and gently remove it after the air enters. Cupping time 10~ 15 minutes, with a maximum of 30 minutes. Cupping interval at the same site depends on skin recovery, usually two or three days.

When cupping, you should also be careful not to heat the edge of the can mouth to prevent burns. The waist and abdomen of pregnant women should not be cup-shaped, and the heart, hair and places with skin diseases should not be used.

Use cupping: Three misunderstandings should be understood. ※. ※

Cupping is really convenient for treating some diseases, but in daily use, many people still have some misunderstandings about cupping. Three misunderstandings about people's understanding and use of cupping therapy;

First, although cupping has a certain therapeutic effect on a variety of pains, it is not a panacea as an auxiliary treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine. As for the function introduction of cupping device product description, it is impossible to prove its effect without medical clinical experiments, so patients should treat this problem rationally.

Secondly, aiming at some cupping devices with magnetic therapy function on the market, some people think that the magnetic field of the human body is very weak, while the magnet attached to the can is very strong, which will interfere with the magnetic field of the human body itself. If you use magnetized products too much, it will do more harm than good to some extent. He believes that the promotion and pursuit of "magnetic therapy" is more like a kind of fashion, because the role of "magnetism" is only recorded sporadically in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and it has not really formed a system.

Third, some non-medical institutions, such as bath centers, will also provide cupping and scraping services. Although it is convenient, it is recommended not to go, because some places are not strictly disinfected, which may cause cross-infection.
