Under what circumstances should the can be moved?

Maybe you don’t know much about cupping. Sometimes the method of cupping is different depending on each person’s situation. Generally, you may not know how the cup works. It looks simple, but it is not so easy to operate. Some people think it’s a big deal, but you must pay attention.

Cupping is a common health-preserving method in our lives, but it is not suitable for everyone. It needs to be used under certain conditions so that it can help your health. Next, let’s learn about three methods suitable for cupping.

1. Inhale gently and push quickly to promote the flow of Wei Qi and eliminate the external evils:

Light suction is to use a small fire cupping jar, inhale until the skin inside the cup is 3 to 4 mm higher than the outside of the cup, until the skin is slightly flushed, then apply lubricant, and move the cupping jar at a speed of about 30 cm per second.

This method has light adsorption power and small stimulation force, and mainly affects the function of the skin. Therefore, the best effect is achieved when sweat occurs in the treated area or the whole body after cupping. The skin is where the meridian system is distributed. The Wei Qi "circulates through the skin" and plays a role in protecting the body and resisting external pathogens. The appropriate stimulation produced by this technique on the skin can promote the circulation of Wei Qi and eliminate external pathogens. It is effective in treating exogenous infections (mostly in the foot-sun skin area), skin numbness (combined with local surgery), etc.

2. Inhale deeply and push quickly to clear the meridians and regulate qi and blood:

Heavy suction is defined as the skin surface inside the cupping jar being more than 8 mm higher than the surface outside the cup and turning purple. Castor oil is then applied to the treated skin and the cupping speed is about 30 cm per second. Generally, large and medium-sized cupping cups are used for the abdomen and back, and small-sized cupping cups are used for the limbs.

This method has strong adsorption and stimulation capabilities. Its main function is to affect the qi and blood in the meridians through the skin and acupoints, and then adjust the functions of the internal organs. It is suitable for treating certain diseases caused by disorders of meridians and internal organs. Acupoints on the back or skin along the abdominal meridians are often chosen.

3. Inhale deeply and push slowly to dispel chronic coldness and nourish muscles:

After re-sucking (as mentioned above), apply castor oil to the skin and move the cup at a speed of 2 to 3 cm per second to make the skin purple-red. Use large and medium-sized cupping cups for the back and abdomen, and small-sized cupping cups for the limbs.

This technique has the greatest stimulation, and can draw out the cold and stagnant cold in the internal organs and meridians through the skin and acupoints, and has a massage effect on local muscles, promoting the nourishment of Qi and blood to the muscles. The cupping areas are mainly the Du meridian, back acupoints and the foot sun skin area. To stimulate the warming effect of Yang Qi and dispel chronic cold.

Warm reminder: During the cupping process, it will definitely not be so smooth. Due to the physical constitution of some people, various situations may occur. Don’t panic. These situations are normal. There must be ways to solve them. Keep a good attitude. do not be afraid.
