The role of cupping

Cupping is a common method of treating diseases in our lives. Cupping is a type of traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Many older generations like to use cupping for treatment. In fact, the principle of cupping is to use the suction in the cup to open the pores of the human skin and then wash out the waste substances inside. This will make the human body healthier and you will feel more comfortable after cupping.

Cupping can help the human body in many ways. It can be used to treat physical strain and some rheumatic diseases. The effect of cupping is directly related to human health.

Cupping, like acupuncture, is also a form of physical therapy, and it is one of the best physical therapies.

Cupping therapy is also known as "horn method". Cupping uses physical stimulation and negative pressure to artificially cause capillary rupture and congestion, mobilize the body's stem cell repair function and the necrotic blood cell absorption function, promote blood circulation, stimulate essence, regulate qi and blood, and achieve the effect of improving and regulating the body's immunity.

Of course, cupping does not require very accurate acupoint positioning like acupuncture. It is mainly a matter of combining points, lines and surfaces. Through the Chinese medicine differentiation of cold, heat, deficiency and excess, some parts where meridians pass or where qi gather are selected.

Cupping is a congestion therapy that uses heat to expel the air in the cup, forming negative pressure, which causes the cup to be tightly sucked onto the treatment area, causing congestion and thus producing a therapeutic effect. The Chinese call it congestion therapy. Because this method is simple, easy and effective, it has been passed down among the people from generation to generation and remains popular today. Even some foreigners are quite interested in it.

Since cupping can promote qi and blood circulation, dispel wind and cold, reduce swelling and relieve pain, it has a certain therapeutic effect on back muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation. Cupping can also be used on the acupuncture points of the human body to treat headaches, dizziness, swollen eyes, coughs, asthma, abdominal pain and other problems. Multiple cupping cups can be used at the same time.

The role of cupping:

1. Mechanical stimulation. Cupping therapy creates negative pressure inside the cup by exhausting air, allowing the edge of the cup to adhere tightly to the skin surface, pulling the nerves, muscles, blood vessels and subcutaneous glands, which can cause a series of neuroendocrine reactions, regulate vasodilation and contraction function and vascular permeability, thereby improving local blood circulation.

2. Negative pressure effect. The negative pressure of cupping causes local congestion and blood stasis rapidly, small capillaries may even rupture, red blood cells may be destroyed, and hemolysis may occur. The release of hemoglobin in red blood cells is a benign stimulus to the body. It can bidirectionally regulate the functions of tissues and organs through the nervous system, while promoting the phagocytic action of white blood cells, increasing the skin's sensitivity and tolerance to external changes, and thus enhancing the body's immunity. Secondly, the powerful suction force of negative pressure can fully open the sweat pores, stimulate and enhance the functions of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and cause aging cells on the surface of the skin to fall off, thereby accelerating the discharge of toxins and waste in the body.

3. Warming effect. The local warming effect of cupping not only dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow, but also enhances the permeability of blood vessel walls and the phagocytic ability of cells. The changes in vascular tone and mucosal permeability at the cupping site accelerate lymphatic circulation and enhance phagocytosis, which undoubtedly create a good environment for resisting biological causes of infectious lesions. In addition, the chronic stimulation of hemolysis has a health-care function for the human body.

The above introduces the effects of u-intervention cupping. I believe that after reading it, you will have a better understanding of the principles and effects of cupping. Cupping is very helpful for some minor colds and strains, and the effect is very obvious. If you make some dietary adjustments after cupping, the effect will be better.
