What are the benefits of bloodletting and cupping

Many Chinese medicine clinics now offer cupping, which is a type of bloodletting therapy. Cupping can relieve pain and alleviate symptoms. So what are the benefits of bloodletting cupping? In traditional Chinese medicine, it is said that the blockage is due to blood stasis, which causes pain. Blood-letting cupping is to use cupping to suck out the blocked areas and make the body unobstructed. Here are some benefits of cupping for the body.

1. Cupping can remove moisture and cold air from the body through the skin tissue, thereby eliminating evil spirits and making people feel more energetic. Because the body's meridians, acupoints and internal organs are all interconnected, the external suction force will stimulate the acupoints on the surface of the body, and then through the tendons, bones and meridians, the internal organs of the human body will be adjusted accordingly, allowing the blood to flow smoothly and strengthening the body. It can stretch the muscles, increase the pain threshold, and relieve soreness and fatigue. That is, when the muscles are in a tense state, the local blood perfusion will decrease, which will cause tissue ischemia. However, the moving cupping technique in cupping can stretch the muscles, increase blood perfusion, and increase the local pain threshold, thereby relaxing the muscles and re-storing the required energy.

2. Cupping also has certain effects on local tissue damage , lumbar disc herniation and other symptoms. Long-term and regular cupping can relieve pain, alleviate symptoms, absorb toxins and pus, and promote wound healing. The negative pressure of cupping will help to discharge local pus, toxins produced by bacteria and other substances that are not conducive to wound healing. It can also stimulate the growth of granulation tissue and shrink wounds, thereby achieving the purpose of promoting wound healing. Adjust immune function and enhance one's own resistance. Since the blood stasis produced by cupping remains in the tissue gap, it can properly activate the body's immunity and has the ability to clear inflammatory substances. It is a benign self-training.

3. Promote blood circulation and speed up metabolism. This is because cupping can dilate blood vessels, improve local blood circulation, and thus accelerate the excretion of waste and toxins from the body. It also improves the nutritional status of local tissues and provides more nutrients and oxygen to cells.

4. Follow the meridians to sense the internal organs and adjust the functions of the internal organs. This is the theory of using meridians to connect the internal organs. The meridians related to the internal organs are selected for cupping stimulation. It is suitable to use techniques such as back and forth cupping and sliding cupping. These techniques can have corresponding sensory effects on respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular, gynecological diseases, etc., and sensory stimulation helps to achieve the adjustment of internal functions.
