The role of fire cupping?

1. Negative pressure effect Domestic and foreign scholars found that: the human body in the fire can negative pressure suction and extraction, the skin surface has a large number of bubbles overflow, thus strengthening the gas exchange of local tissues. Through the examination, it is also observed that: negative pressure makes the local capillary permeability changes and capillary rupture, a small amount of blood into the tissue gap, thus producing stasis, red blood cells are damaged, hemoglobin release, the emergence of the phenomenon of self-hemolysis. In the body's self-adjustment, it produces the effects of promoting blood circulation, relaxing tendons and collaterals, relieving swelling and pain, dispelling wind and removing dampness, and so on, acting as a kind of benign stimulus to promote the restoration of its normal function.

2. Warm effect Cupping has warm stimulation effect on the local skin, which is most obvious with the big fire pot, water pot and medicine pot. Warm and hot stimulation can expand blood vessels, promote local blood circulation, improve congestion, strengthen metabolism, accelerate the discharge of body wastes and toxins, change the nutritional state of local tissues, enhance the permeability of blood vessel walls, enhance the phagocytosis of leukocytes and reticulocytes, enhance local tolerance and body resistance, and play a role in warming menstruation and dispersing cold, clearing heat and removing toxins, so as to achieve the improvement of the disease. The regulating effect The regulating effect of cupping is based on negative pressure or warmth, first of all, it is the regulating effect on the nervous system, due to a series of benign stimulation given by autolytic hemolysis, etc., which acts on the peripheral receptors of the nervous system, and reaches the cerebral cortex through centripetal conduction; in addition to the warmth and warmth stimulation on the local skin by cupping, which is transmitted to the central nervous system through the reflex pathway of the skin receptors and vascular receptors. In addition, the warm stimulation of the local skin by cupping is transmitted to the central nervous system through the skin receptors and vasoreceptors, resulting in reflex excitation, which regulates the excitation and inhibition process of the cerebral cortex, making it tend to be balanced and strengthening the cerebral cortex's regulation of the various parts of the body to make the skin of the affected part of the corresponding tissues of the metabolism, phagocytosis is enhanced to promote the restoration of the body's function, the imbalance of yin and yang is adjusted to enable the gradual healing of diseases.

Secondly, it regulates microcirculation and improves metabolism. The main function of microcirculation is the exchange of substances between blood and tissues, and the regulation of its function is important in physiology and pathology. And it also strengthens the lymphatic circulation and active phagocytosis of lymphocytes. In addition, due to the phenomenon of auto-hemolysis after cupping, then produce a kind of histamine substances, with the body fluids around the whole body, stimulate each organ, enhance its functional vitality, which helps the recovery of the body's functions.

Fire cupping is a kind of blood congestion therapy, the use of heat to discharge the air inside the can, forming a negative pressure, so that the can is tightly sucked in the treatment site, resulting in the phenomenon of blood congestion, thus producing a therapeutic effect, which is known to the Chinese as bruising therapy. Because of this method is simple and easy to implement, the effect is obvious, so in the folk tradition over the generations, so far, even some foreigners are also quite interested in.

Thank you for your support and attention to Chinese cupping culture!
