1. Cupping therapy, also known as "fire cupping" and "suction cup therapy", was called "horn method" in ancient times. It is a treatment method that uses heat to expel the air in the cup and uses negative pressure to make it adhere to the skin, causing blood stasis. This therapy can expel cold and dampness, dredge meridians, remove stagnation, promote qi and blood circulation, reduce swelling and relieve pain, draw out toxins and reduce heat. It has the function of adjusting the body's yin and yang balance, relieving fatigue, and strengthening the physical constitution, thereby achieving the purpose of strengthening the body and eliminating evil and curing diseases. Therefore, many diseases can be treated with cupping therapy. For example: When people reach middle age, muscle and bone pain is common. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is mostly due to rheumatism entering the bones. When cupping, the cup mouth is placed over the affected area, which can slowly absorb moisture from the lesion and promote local blood circulation, achieving the purpose of relieving pain and restoring function, thereby treating rheumatic "arthralgia" and sore muscles and bones.

2. According to the traditional theories of Chinese medicine, the theory of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the internal organs and meridians, the vacuum negative pressure in the cup can stimulate the acupuncture points on the body surface, so that the meridians of the human body are unblocked and the Qi and blood are vigorous, thereby achieving the effects of balancing Yin and Yang, adjusting Qi and blood, dredging meridians and collaterals, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, dispelling cold and dampness, strengthening the body and eliminating evil, and strengthening the body; 2 joint cups are used for joints.

3. Cupping is often used to treat low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, rheumatism, stiff neck, colds, indigestion, insomnia and menopausal syndrome. Although cupping has a certain therapeutic effect on many kinds of pain, it has a disadvantage: some non-medical institutions such as bath centers also provide cupping, scraping and other services. Although it is convenient, it is best not to go because some places are not strictly disinfected and may cause cross infection. Although inappropriate cupping will not cause harm to the body, it will delay the treatment of the disease and may bring serious consequences. In addition, people with damaged skin or bleeding diseases (such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, purpura, etc.) are not suitable for cupping therapy.
