Introduction: Life is getting better and better and material conditions are getting richer, but sub-health has become a common phenomenon. With the popularity of sub-health status, people begin to pay more and more attention to their own health and health preservation methods, among which moxibustion, scraping and cupping are the most common health preservation methods. So what is the difference between the three, and how should we choose?

What are moxibustion, scraping and cupping?

Moxibustion is to ignite moxa sticks made of moxa sticks and mugwort leaves. After generating heat, wrap moxa sticks or moxa sticks around human acupuncture points to achieve the purpose of conditioning the body by stimulating human acupuncture points. Scraping uses designated tools and professional techniques to scrape back and forth on the skin surface to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis. Cupping is to make a special jar produce negative pressure by pumping air, so that the jar can be adsorbed on the skin to achieve the effect of eliminating evil.

The difference between the three

First of all, the tools used in the treatment process are different. Moxibustion mainly uses products made of mugwort leaves. Scraping will have a special scraper, and cupping will require cans and open flames. Moxibustion will not leave traces on the body skin, while cupping and scraping will leave traces on the skin surface, and it will take a long time for the skin to return to normal. Moreover, the pain caused by the three is different. Moxibustion has no pain, and cupping will have a little pain during adsorption, but it is not serious. The most painful thing is scraping, because scraping requires repeated rubbing on the skin surface.

Therapeutic effects of three drugs.

Moxibustion, scrapping and cupping all have the functions of dredging meridians and promoting blood circulation. Moxibustion is mild and easy to operate. You just need to buy the right moxa stick or moxa stick to use at home. Moxibustion can also help female friends with irregular menstruation. Scraping can promote metabolism and relieve pain. The traces left on the skin surface by scraping can also reflect the physical condition of this person. For some people with heavy body moisture and often suffering from diseases such as rheumatism, cupping can be used for treatment. Cupping plays a very important role in removing moisture from the body.
