How to use glass fire cupping

I believe everyone has encountered the practice of glass cupping in their daily lives. This is a relatively common practice that treats diseases through the method of thermal expansion and contraction. The flame forms a negative pressure in the vacuum glass jar, and then sticks to the skin, which can stimulate the body, help to dredge qi and blood and enhance the body's resistance. The key is that it can remove dampness. Everyone can learn about the practice of cupping.

Cupping is mainly used to treat diseases through the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. The instantaneous flame creates a vacuum negative pressure inside the tank, which is sucked into the human body. Allow the body's meridians to receive benign stimulation. It can then dredge the Qi and blood, enhance the body's metabolism, and improve the body's immunity, thus achieving the goal of eliminating disease and strengthening the body.

The first thing to do when cupping at home is to prepare the cupping tools. There are many types of jars and the jar mouths also have different sizes. The more common ones on the market are bamboo jars, ceramic jars, glass jars and cupping devices. If you are doing cupping at home, it is best to use a glass jar. When cupping, you can observe the situation in the cup at any time, whether there are blisters on the surface of the skin, whether there is fog on the wall of the cup, and whether the skin has turned black and purple. Pay attention to the time of opening the tank.

The time for cupping varies according to different physical conditions. Normally, the appropriate time for cupping is about 10 minutes. However, the time can be shortened or extended due to different physical conditions. But don't exceed 15 minutes. The therapist should relax his body during cupping. This is the only way to ensure that the skin firmly adheres to the mouth of the jar. When cupping, relax your body and exhale when the cup contacts your skin.

Most people experience itching on their body during cupping. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon, so don't be too nervous. When you feel itchy, try not to scratch the skin at the jar mouth and the skin inside the jar. Just stop the itching along the outside of the jar mouth.

In addition, you should also pay attention to the interval between cupping. Do not cupping too frequently. When you have a cold and fever, you can cupping once a day to help relieve the symptoms. When the pain worsens, you can do it 2 to 3 times a day. However, the position of the cupping should be changed the second time. To relieve fatigue, you can use the cupping technique once a day, and then use the second cupping technique every other day. This can be done 3 to 5 times a week. If you are doing cupping for health care, it is best to do it once every 7 or 10 days. Everyone should also note that cupping should not be done only where it hurts. The main thing is to find the pain points or acupoints.

Finally, everyone must remember that cupping is not suitable during pregnancy and menstruation. Also, remember not to take a shower immediately after cupping. Instead, you should wait 4 hours after cupping before taking a bath. And be sure to dry your body after taking a shower. Because the pores are open at this time, it is very easy for cold air to enter the body. And drink more warm water after cupping. This is the only way to expel toxins from the body. Normally, the cupping marks will disappear within two or three days, so don't worry too much.
