What is the principle of cupping?

Cupping therapy is also known as "the cupping method". Cupping is a therapy that uses cups as tools to expel the air inside with the help of heat, creating negative pressure, allowing the cups to adhere to the surface of the skin, causing congestion. Cupping uses physical stimulation and negative pressure to artificially cause capillary rupture and congestion, thereby mobilizing the body's stem cell repair function and necrotic blood cell absorption function. It can effectively promote blood circulation, stimulate essence, regulate qi and blood, and achieve the effect of improving and regulating human immunity.

What are the benefits of cupping to the human body?

1. Expel evil spirits

Through cupping, the moisture and cold air in the human body can penetrate through the skin tissue, thereby eliminating evil spirits and making people more energetic.

2. Promote blood circulation and activate collaterals

Since the meridians, acupoints and internal organs of the human body 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 circulation to flow smoothly.

Cupping is also effective for local tissue damage, lumbar disc herniation and other conditions. Long-term and regular cupping can reduce pain and alleviate symptoms.
