Scraping and cupping have the functions of expelling wind and cold, relaxing channels and activating collaterals, and harmonizing yin and yang, which has obvious effect on treating heatstroke and cold.
The benefits of scraping therapy
(A) regulating Yin and Yang
Yin and Yang are the basic core of TCM theory. Under normal circumstances, the human body maintains a relatively balanced state of Yin and Yang. If the balance of Yin and Yang is disturbed due to seven emotions and six lewdness, it will lead to pathological changes such as "Yin wins Yang disease and Yang wins Yin disease", resulting in clinical syndromes such as "Yang is full of heat and Yin is full of cold". The key of scraping health care is to adjust the deficiency and excess of Yin and Yang according to the attributes of syndromes, so that the body can return to the secret of Yin and Pingyang and restore normal physiological functions, thus achieving the purpose of treating diseases.
The role of scraping in regulating yin and yang is basically achieved through the compatibility of acupoints and scraping techniques. For example, the disease is in the meridians, and the skin belongs to the surface, so it is necessary to scrape it lightly; The disease is in the viscera, the disease is in the bones and muscles, and it needs to be scraped again. Scraping can adjust the balance of yin and yang in both directions. For example, blood pressure is unstable, and hypotension can be increased after scraping acupuncture points on trunk and limbs. Hypertension can also be reduced.
(2) promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis
Once the muscles, ligaments and bones of the human body are injured, there will be blood stasis locally, which will make the blood circulation in the meridians not smooth. Blood stasis does not go away, but the pain does not stop. At this time, scraping at local or corresponding acupoints can eliminate blood stasis, generate new blood, make the meridians unobstructed and blood circulation smooth, and achieve the purpose of general principle without pain. This is the function of scraping, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
(3) clearing away heat and reducing swelling
According to the principle of "heat is the cause" in traditional Chinese medicine, through the stimulation of heat-expelling method, the pathogenic heat can be induced out of the body to clear away heat, so that the pathogenic heat in Yang Can can penetrate the body surface and finally be discharged from the body, thus removing the blood stasis, heat and swelling in the body.
(4) Resolving phlegm and stopping spasm, softening and resolving hard mass.
For body surface swelling and wind syndrome caused by phlegm-dampness, the method of scrapping and resolving phlegm can make phlegm-heat purulent leakage, and the effect of stopping spasm and resolving stagnation is obvious.
(5) strengthening body resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors
Scraping will change the skin of the corresponding acupoints, resulting in bruising and purplish red blood stasis, which will open and dredge the acupoints, expose wind, cold, phlegm, dampness, blood stasis, fire and poison stuck in the meridians and corresponding tissues and organs from the fur, and dredge the meridians.

Advantages of cupping
1, balance yin and yang. Yang is hot and Yin is cold. Fever is the manifestation of yang, and aversion to cold is the symptom of yin. Dazhui cupping can treat fever and Guanyuan cupping can treat cold.
2, reconcile the viscera. Cupping therapy binds meridian points, which makes the points on the body surface hyperemia and congestion, and the points are connected with viscera through meridians, thus treating various visceral diseases.
3. dredge the meridians. Cupping therapy stimulates the skin of acupoints and meridians on the body surface through its warm mechanical stimulation and negative pressure suction, and the skin of acupoints and meridians is closely connected with meridians. Therefore, cupping can dredge meridians, reconcile camp and health, dispel all kinds of evil spirits in meridians, smooth qi and blood, nourish and dredge meridians, and thus treat various diseases.
4. Auxiliary diagnosis. By observing the changes of body surface after cupping, we can infer the nature and location of the disease and its relationship with internal organs.
5. Eliminate pathogenic factors. Cupping therapy can not only dredge meridians and dispel cold, but also adjust the functions of zang-fu organs and meridians, stimulate healthy qi, and help to expel evil spirits in the body.
6. Two-way adjustment. Cupping therapy has a two-way benign regulation function under the condition that the clinical acupoint selection and cupping methods remain unchanged.
As can be seen from the above two, they can be used together, complement each other, or can be used alone.
