Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy in China. I believe many people, especially middle-aged and elderly people, will not be unfamiliar with it, because it is simple, convenient and easy to operate, and was once regarded as an important daily treatment method by ordinary people. How to use cupping safely and effectively at home, we interviewed experts such as Diao Benshu, a famous provincial Chinese medicine practitioner.
When cupping, the patient is comfortable.
"Cupping" is a common name for cupping therapy, also known as "cupping" or "straw". It is a therapeutic method to exhaust the air in the tank by heating, so that it can be sucked on the skin under negative pressure, resulting in blood stasis. This therapy can dispel cold and dampness, dredge channels and collaterals, remove blood stasis, promote circulation of qi and blood circulation, relieve swelling and pain, remove toxin and clear heat, and has the functions of regulating the balance of yin and yang, eliminating fatigue and strengthening the body, thus achieving the purpose of strengthening the body resistance, eliminating pathogenic factors and treating diseases. So many diseases can be treated by cupping therapy. For example, when people reach middle age, muscle soreness is very common. According to the interpretation of traditional Chinese medicine, it is mostly rheumatism. When cupping, the cupping mouth can cover the affected part, which can slowly suck out the water in the focus and promote local blood circulation at the same time, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving pain and restoring function, thus treating rheumatism, joint pain, muscle soreness and other discomfort.
Cupping can promote qi and blood circulation, dispel wind and cold, reduce swelling and relieve pain, so it has a certain therapeutic effect on lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation. Teacher Diao also introduced that cupping can also be used on human acupoints to treat headache, dizziness, eye swelling, cough, asthma, abdominal pain and other diseases, and cupping can be performed many times at the same time.
When operating at home, you should talk about methods.
Experts remind: Since it is a professional treatment, cupping is certainly not simple. If you cupping yourself at home regardless of the willy-nilly, it is easy to cause danger, and there are many cupping accidents in life. If you apply acupuncture points at will, it will sometimes backfire.
First of all, pay attention to material selection. Bamboo tube for traditional Chinese medicine. If you can't find it, you can use glass bottles and ceramic cups, but the mouth must be thick and smooth, so as not to hurt the flesh because the mouth of the cupping jar is too thin. The bottom is preferably a wide semicircle.
Before cupping, the can should be washed and dried, and then the patient should lie down or sit comfortably, exposing the part to be cupped, and then ignite the can. When igniting, you usually hold the jar in one hand and the lighted probe in the other. The operation should be quick. After shaking the ignited probe in the jar several times, take it out and quickly put the jar on the part to be processed. When the fire is still burning, cover the altar mouth tightly on the affected area, and don't wait for the fire to go out, otherwise it will be too loose to suck out moisture. It's good to have the jar mouth tightly sucked on your body. Be careful not to heat the edge of the jar mouth to avoid scalding.
Generally, it takes 15-20 minutes to open the tank. When taking it, don't forcibly pull the can, don't pull it hard, and turn it. The key point of action is that one hand tilts the can to one side, and the other hand presses the skin, so that air enters the can through the gap, and the can naturally leaves the skin.
You can also use the pot method. Moving cans means that after the cans are covered, hold the cans with one hand or two hands, gently lift them, and push and pull the cans to move on the patient's skin. You can move in one direction or back and forth. This has been dealt with in several parts. Pay attention to applying some lubricants when moving cans, such as glycerin, paraffin oil, scraping oil, etc., to prevent skin injury when moving cans.
