How does cupping improve health?

Cupping can maintain health and prevent diseases. When walking on the road in summer, you can sometimes see cupping marks on the backs of some people. The cupping fluids will be different for each person. Many people will experience bleeding from cupping. Mild bleeding is normal. In fact, we can see physical illness from the bleeding from cupping. Now let’s let Chinese medicine teach us how to diagnose physical illnesses based on the bleeding caused by cupping.

1. If the blood comes out black and ink-like, it is a long-term illness, which means that blood stasis has been stagnant in the body for a long time and has blocked the collaterals.

2. The presence of mucus-like jelly substances in the blood indicates that dampness and toxins are accumulating and stagnating for a long time.

3. The blood discharged is thin and not easy to coagulate, indicating blood deficiency.

4. Blood easily settles and coagulates very quickly, indicating Qi deficiency.

5. The presence of water in the blood indicates rheumatism and liver disease.

6. If the bleeding is very light, it means inflammation and the disease is at the initial stage. Bloody purple indicates a fresh wound.

7. The discharge of transparent aqueous fluid indicates edema.

8. The presence of blisters indicates dampness.

9. Aspirating foamy liquid indicates wind-cold.

10. If the aspirated substance is like meat washing water, it indicates severe chronic dampness.

11. A large amount of bleeding indicates that the disease process is relatively long.

12. A smaller amount of blood aspirated indicates that the onset of the disease is shorter or the disease is located deeper.

13. Slow bleeding, or intermittent bleeding after multiple acupunctures, indicates qi deficiency and blood deficiency.

14. If the pain is relieved by bloodletting during the day but becomes worse at night, it is blood stasis and needs another prick until the pain is relieved.

15. After cupping, put your hand into the cup when taking it out. If you feel a burst of heat instantly, it means that there is a lot of dampness and heat.

The above is the method introduced by traditional Chinese medicine to everyone of cupping and bleeding to diagnose physical diseases. Here I want to remind everyone that you must master the correct method of cupping, and if you need cupping outside, you need to go to a professional and formal place for professional cupping. Don't be tempted by the cheap price and go to a small place. Not only can it not guarantee hygiene, it may even spread infection and disease.
