Cupping is a popular health-preserving method at present, but frequent cupping is not good for your health. Cupping has the effects of dredging channels and collaterals, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, relieving swelling and pain, detoxifying and purging heat, and has a good therapeutic effect on acute pain and muscle soreness caused by wind-cold-dampness arthralgia. However, cupping is actually a way of catharsis. Under the action of negative pressure, the local skin of meridians is congested, and pathological products such as congestion, phlegm, turbid water and pathogenic fire are sucked out of the body through the pores of the skin. However, when cupping, the yang is easy to leak out because the skin pores are open. Therefore, frequent cupping regardless of physical fitness is easy to damage the yang, reduce people's resistance, fatigue and cold, and even diarrhea.
