How often should I do cupping?

There are many ways to treat diseases, and both Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine can have good therapeutic effects. Different diseases can be treated with different methods to achieve better results. Traditional Chinese medicine has fewer side effects when treating diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine has many methods to treat diseases, such as acupuncture, cupping, massage, etc. So, when it comes to cupping treatment, how often should it be done? Let us introduce it below.

"Most ordinary people often take the use of cupping for granted," said Director Li. The most typical phenomenon is that his clinic often sees patients whose skin is infected due to cupping. The cupping would take an hour or so, and they are not satisfied until the blisters are pulled out and the water comes out. There is also a saying that "the moisture and cold air are drawn out", which is too ridiculous.

Because the dampness mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine is a concept, it is invisible and not a liquid. When negative pressure acts on the human body surface for too long, anyone will develop blisters. In fact, removing blisters by cupping is equivalent to removing an accident in hospital treatment. The blisters are very easy to get infected and fester, and in severe cases may even lead to sepsis.

If you want to use cupping, it is recommended that you do it once a week. Because the marks caused by the last cupping will take about a week to completely disappear, you should wait until the marks disappear before doing the next cupping. But you can change the place to pull it out. Be careful to avoid places with marks.

Cupping effect:

The effect of stress relief: in the process of self-adjustment of the body, it produces the effects of promoting qi and blood circulation, relaxing muscles and tendons, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and removing wind and dampness, which acts as a benign stimulus to promote the restoration of normal functions.

Warming effect: Cupping has a warming stimulating effect on local skin, which is most obvious with large fire cups, water cups, and medicine cups.

Regulate the body's yin and yang balance: Due to the autohemolysis phenomenon after cupping, a histamine-like substance is produced, which circulates throughout the body with body fluids, stimulates various organs, and enhances their functional vitality, which helps to restore the body's functions.

Cupping is a better treatment method. During treatment, you must strictly follow the correct method and course of cupping. This will achieve better treatment results. If the correct method and course of treatment are not followed, then it will not be of much benefit to the treatment of the disease. It may also cause other diseases.
