Do you know which is more beneficial to your health, moxibustion or cupping? Cupping and moxibustion are common health preserving methods. Both young people and middle-aged and elderly people are keen on these two methods. Many people don't know if they follow the order when they are doing it. Moxibustion or cupping first? The order of the two is also very particular, and the effect will be somewhat different.

Cupping is like sucking out negative emotions, while moxibustion is introducing positive social energy. When cupping, yin and evil can be discharged, which is also the result of the promotion of qi and blood. Therefore, cupping can not only expel yin evil, but also damage qi and blood. Ai, on the other hand, is an all-yang thing, which has the function of taking three yin and activating the twelve meridians. If it is ignited continuously, the damp-heat qi of Aihuo Quanyang can penetrate from the muscle surface, and because it touches the five internal organs, it can nourish the yang and nourish the blood, raise the clear and reduce the turbidity, consolidate the body and strengthen the body.

Moxibustion therapy is to burn the lit wormwood on human acupoints, so that heat can enter the meridians according to the acupoints, so as to achieve the effects of dredging the meridians, eliminating cold and treating diseases, and maintaining health. Moxibustion, a health care method, existed at least in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. As the old saying goes, "your family has AIDS for three years, but the doctor doesn't need it." Mencius describes: "Seven years of illness, three years of love." Confucius also said that "self-moxibustion has no disease."

Cupping is a catharsis method, which stipulates that people should have enough qi and blood to shape the dampness and coldness in the body. If you are weak, cupping will get weaker and weaker! Moxibustion is a way of double adjustment. It relies on the efficacy of Folium Artemisiae Argyi, which can not only expel the dampness and coldness in the body, but also make the body full of qi and blood, making the body better and better! Therefore, the application scope of moxibustion is relatively common.

Moxibustion is to put moxa sticks or other drugs on the acupoints of the epidermis for burning and ironing. It relies on the mild heat supply of moxibustion fire and the efficacy of medication. It has the functions of regulating qi and blood, ascending and descending turbid qi, causing partial skin hematoma, dilating capillaries, improving partial blood circulation system and lymphatic system, and strengthening the metabolic working ability of skin tissue, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases and preventing diseases.

The above is my answer, for your reference, hoping to help you.
