I used to be an intermediate masseur, but now I don't do it. Let me talk about it. 1, there are three common types of cupping: sliding cupping and flash cupping. Mainly to divide the cold. As for cooperation with puncture, acupuncture and drugs. How about these? Cupping is an auxiliary means. But it's all to drive away the cold. Scraping, dredging meridians, inducing qi and blood, cupping, sucking blood and promoting blood circulation. The functions are similar, but the skills are different. Scraping can be done all over the body, and cupping can only be used locally. There is a difference between the depth of the surface and the depth of the surface, and the effect is good when used together.
Both methods can dispel blood stasis, dissipate stagnation and detoxify. The scraping range is wider, and the two methods have their own advantages. For example, dredging meridians, scraping is better than cupping, because scraping can be done more carefully and can dredge meridians. Cupping has a warming effect and can treat some wind-cold exterior syndrome. I remember the first cup filling, under the negative pressure of the jar, the skin was particularly uncomfortable, a little itchy and uncomfortable.
Scraping has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relaxing muscles and tendons, and expelling toxin. First of all, scraping can adjust the contraction and relaxation of muscles, adjust the pressure between tissues and promote the blood circulation of tissues.
