How to learn cupping and scraping moxibustion?
Cupping, scrapping and moxibustion all belong to traditional Chinese medicine, and they all treat diseases by mobilizing qi and blood in the human body, which is relatively well-founded. Although they are all aimed at conditioning people's bodies, the effects are different. First of all, we must learn to distinguish their usage and function.

Cupping is a clear tool. As the name implies, it is just a jar. Instead of taking photos directly, the jar is directly adsorbed and fixed on people's skin by flame or other suction methods. Therefore, people often see that some people have a lot of circles on their backs. This is blood stasis caused by cupping. All the blood stasis in other parts of the body is brought together and then slowly dissipated, which is generally used to dispel wind and cold.

If people with heavy humidity can try cupping, it is very useful, and they feel very relaxed after cupping. But be sure not to catch cold after cupping, and control the time well. If the air pressure in the tank is too long, it will lead to skin bleeding, which is not worth the candle.

The next step is scraping. This is also for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but contrary to the use of cupping just now, cupping is combined. This is a place where jams and blockages need to be removed. Generally, it is operated by special instruments, generally angular, but smooth and won't hurt people. Press the right acupoints, then directly rub the skin surface with a little water or oil until little red dot appears on the skin, which means "out-of-body experience".

In the old man's words, the fire is forced out and will go down in a few days, but this can only be used by strong people, because when there is a fire, you can use scraping to vent it. If the weak forcibly use this method, it will only make their blood weaker.

Finally, moxibustion. Compared with the first two, this one is less painful and can be used by ordinary people, because it is mainly used to expel moisture and let the qi and blood of the body run normally. The most important thing is that Folium Artemisiae Argyi has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. After burning, it can force out the deepest water in the human body. So this is just to mobilize the body's own energy to supplement the yang, especially suitable for women.
