1, the harm of cupping to lose weight
1, taking a bath after cupping is easy to catch a cold.
You really should pay attention to order. You can cupping after taking a bath, but you must never take a bath immediately after cupping. After cupping, the skin is in a damaged state and very fragile. Bathing at this time can easily lead to skin damage and inflammation. If you take a cold bath, it is easy to catch cold because your skin is in a state of open pores. So you must not take a bath immediately after cupping.
2. The longer the cupping time, the better.
Some people think that the longer the cupping time, the better the weight loss effect. They mistakenly think that cupping takes at least half an hour, so the effect of cupping therapy will be better.
Actually, it is not. Generally, the cupping time is from cupping to cupping, and the best time is 10 minute. Because the main principle of cupping therapy is negative pressure, the greater the negative pressure, the shorter the time. If the negative pressure is large and the cupping time is too long, it may lead to blisters and even skin diseases.
3. Repeated cupping at the same acupoint
Some people can't see the effect of losing weight in a short time, so they repeatedly cupped the same part. This is also wrong. Repeated cupping of a part will lead to redness, injury and skin injury.
Therefore, when performing cupping therapy, cupping can be performed in multiple parts of the body instead of in the same part every day, so that the whole body can lose weight.
Cupping can be done anywhere in the body.
Many people think that as long as you are obese, you should pull it out. For example, if you have a big stomach, you should do cupping treatment on your stomach. This is wrong, and cupping is not suitable for your chest. Usually, the main parts of cupping therapy are shoulders, back, waist and limbs.
5. Frequent cupping can lead to skin infection.
Many people think that cupping takes at least half an hour, so that the effect will be good, but in fact cupping varies according to the size, material and negative pressure of cupping. However, they usually light a fire and eat the canned food until they are lifted up in about ten minutes.
Because the main principle of cupping is negative pressure rather than time, if cupping takes too long under the condition of high negative pressure until the blister is pulled out, it will not only hurt the skin, but also cause skin infection.
2, the role of cupping to lose weight
First, the role of weight loss
The internal pressure of cupping can dredge meridians, balance qi and blood, regulate endocrine, accelerate blood and lymphatic circulation, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, thus improving digestive function, accelerating metabolism, increasing heat and fat consumption, and reducing body surface fat and deep body fat, thus achieving the purpose of safety, health care and rapid weight loss.
Second, promote systemic blood circulation.
The negative pressure in the cylinder is caused by exhaust. The cylinder edge can cling to the skin surface, pulling nerves, muscles, blood vessels and subcutaneous glands, which can cause a series of nervous and endocrine system reactions, adjust the vasodilation function of blood vessels and the permeability of blood vessel walls, thus improving the blood circulation of the whole body.
Third, eliminate toxins from the body.
The strong suction of cupping negative pressure can fully open pores, stimulate and strengthen the functions of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and make the aged cells on the skin surface fall off, thus accelerating the discharge of toxins and wastes in the body.
Fourth, the warming effect
When the human body is attacked or injured by external factors such as wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, fire (six evils), it can disturb the normal physiological functions of viscera and produce blood stasis, qi stagnation, phlegm retention, food retention, turbid water and pathogenic fire. These pathogenic factors run through the whole body through the meridians of the human body, filling the acupoints on the meridians, disturbing the operation of qi and blood, and causing qi and blood stagnation.
Cupping can dispel the six evils of human body, ventilate and promote blood circulation, and relax channels and activate collaterals. Its warming effect can dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow and enhance the permeability of blood vessel walls.
Chinese medicine believes that cupping can dredge meridians, adjust qi and blood, and balance yin and yang. Meridian has the physiological functions of "promoting qi and blood circulation, nourishing yin and yang, strengthening Confucianism and Taoism". If the meridians are blocked, the menstrual flow is blocked and the blood stagnates, it may lead to various symptoms and skin problems such as weakness, bloated figure, spots, acne, wrinkles and dryness on the face.
By cupping the skin, pores, meridians and acupoints, the qi of ying and Wei can be guided to start to diverge, and the qi and blood of meridians can be encouraged, so that the organs and tissues of zang-fu organs can be nourished by Confucianism, and the fur can be warmed. At the same time, the weak functions of zang-fu organs can be activated, the meridians can be dredged, the balance of yin and yang can be adjusted, and the qi and blood can be adjusted, so as to achieve the purposes of fitness, beauty and treatment.
3. Precautions after cupping
Take a bath in two hours after cupping.
When cupping, some people try to prolong the cupping time, thinking that they can achieve better therapeutic effect. However, experts warned that the cupping time should be controlled within 10 minutes or 10 minutes. If the time is too long, the cupping part is likely to blister, rupture or even become infected.
Cupping should find the right acupoints.
Cupping yourself at home, first of all, pay attention to whether the position is correct. Cupping is not just cupping. Where does it hurt? Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. In addition to cupping at the painful points, cupping at the pain-related points can also achieve the effect. If some patients have low back pain, they may need cupping at the acupoints of the legs.
Many citizens don't know the acupoints of the human body, so it's best to consult a regular Chinese doctor before cupping to find out where you need cupping.
The purple seal has not disappeared, so it is not suitable for repeated pulling.
Some people, after a cupping, the pain does not completely disappear, and continue cupping at the painful part, hoping to cure the disease through this powerful means. Actually, this is not right. If the purplish red mark on the last cupping site has not completely disappeared, cupping cannot be continued at the purplish red mark, and it needs to be switched to the relevant acupoints. Otherwise, it will not only not relieve the pain problem, but also bring more problems.
Essential nutrients in cupping diet.
Vitamin e, iodine
Iodine is an indispensable nutrient in cupping diet. Because iodine is an indispensable and important element for thyroid secretion. Thyroid gland plays a very important role in promoting protein and fat synthesis. In order to burn fat, it is not important to supplement vitamin E or iodine properly. For example, wheat germ, potatoes and seaweed are all very good foods.
vegetable oil
Vegetable oil is a must for girls who want to lose weight. Because it can effectively promote fat burning, such as cashew nuts, peanuts and walnuts are all good choices.
potassium
Excessive dieting in order to lose weight may lead to visceral failure. In particular, low blood sugar will cause the loss of potassium. Causing edema problems. So cupping
