The curative effect of cupping "cupping" is a unique treatment method that has been circulating for a long time in China. "Cupping, as an external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, has played a role in preventing health care and treating diseases in clinical life. The specific functions of cupping are dispelling wind and cold, promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals, promoting qi circulation and relieving pain, and relieving swelling and stagnation. At the initial stage of cupping treatment, it is used as an auxiliary treatment for sores and ulcers.
With the continuous progress of medicine, modern clinical findings show that cupping can also assist in the treatment of internal medical diseases such as tuberculosis, rheumatism, colds and cough, as well as bone and joint diseases such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain, scapulohumeral periarthritis, stiff neck and lumbar disc herniation. In life, cupping can also improve the body's immunity, relieve fatigue and enhance the body's disease resistance.
The benefits of cupping 1. Improve some blood circulation systems.
Cupping therapy is to use the air pressure generated by the exhaust pipe in the tank, and the edge of the tank is firmly attached to the skin surface, stretching the glandular ducts of nerves, muscles, blood vessels and their subcutaneous tissues, which can cause a series of neuroendocrine reactions, regulate the relaxation and contraction of blood vessels and the permeability of blood vessels, and then improve some blood circulation systems.
2, enhance immunity and have a very good health care effect.
The air pressure of cupping makes some rapid hematomas, hematocele, small capillaries even split, and blood cells are destroyed, leading to hemolysis. The release of hemoglobin concentration in blood cells is a good stimulus to the body, which can double regulate the function of human organs according to the central nervous system. In addition, it can also promote the inflammatory mediators of white blood cell count, improve the sensitivity and tolerance of skin to foreign transformation, and then improve the immune ability of the body.
3. Assist in discharging wastes from the body.
The strong suction of air pressure can fully open the pores of sweat glands, stimulate and promote the action of sebaceous glands and sebaceous glands, and make somatic cells fall off the skin surface, thus accelerating the discharge of endotoxin and waste in the body.
Disadvantages of Cupping Although everyone says that the side effects of TCM health care methods are small, it is still difficult to avoid the existence of side effects, and cupping is the same. Disadvantages of cupping
The key points are as follows: First, it is very easy to cause harm to the skin. Traditional cupping requires fire, which is very easy to burn the skin, although there are some cupping methods now.
It has prevented the skin from contacting the fire immediately, but it still caused some damage to the skin; Second, the left ventricle of skin capillaries after cupping, if you don't pay attention to wind and antifreeze, it is very easy to cause cold syndrome to invade the body, causing fever and cold.
Pay attention to cupping at home 1. First determine cupper's physique. If the constitution is too weak, it is not suitable for cupping, because cupping has purgative methods, which make the weak people weaker and fail to achieve the therapeutic effect.
2. Pregnant women and elderly people with heart disease should be cautious in cupping. Because the lumbosacral region and abdomen of pregnant women are prohibited from cupping, it is easy to cause abortion. When cupping, the skin tightens under negative pressure, which is a painful stimulus to the whole body, and most people can bear it completely, but elderly heart patients may have heart disease under this stimulus. Therefore, such people should be cautious in cupping.
3. Patients with local skin ulceration or skin diseases should not be cupped.
4. It is not easy to keep cupping time too long (generally cupping time should be controlled within 8 minutes) to avoid foaming (especially for diabetics, the infection rate caused by foaming should be avoided as much as possible).
5. If bubbles are accidentally formed after cupping, they are generally distributed within the diameter of 1mm (less than 3 per can), and can be absorbed by themselves without treatment. However, if the diameter exceeds 1mm, and each can exceeds three, or people with diabetes and low immune function should go to the hospital in time.
6. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the jar. For example, 1 people should use it exclusively 1 to cover pots and pans, and general pots and pans should be cleaned after being used for 5 times 1 time. Prevent infection.
7. There is no systematic study on whether children are suitable for cupping. Because children's skin is delicate and immature, clinical Chinese medicine must be consulted before cupping to ensure safety.
