One thing we should know is that cupping is indeed a unique means of treating diseases, preventing diseases and preserving health in China, and according to relevant historical records, cupping has been circulated for nearly a thousand years. As early as the early Tang Dynasty, Chinese medicine began to use cupping to treat various diseases.

With the development of the times, the progress of society, and the continuous improvement of medical technology, some people began to cupping patients with gas tanks. The main principle of cupping in gas tank is to suck air out of gas tank, create a vacuum environment similar to cupping, relieve patients' pain and treat diseases.

However, with the introduction of gas tanks, there has been a debate about whether cupping is good or not. In fact, according to Chinese medicine, cupping is the most correct cupping method, and I also admire cupping very much. But why are gas tanks popular now? The reason is that the operation of the gas tank will reduce the danger and will not cause burns due to the wrong use of cupping.

So gas tanks are widely used, but cupping is much better than gas tanks in both therapeutic and preventive effects. First of all, Chinese medicine believes that the air in cupping is burned with torches to form a vacuum, but it is precisely because of the residual internal heat in the cupping that the cold in the body will slowly evaporate, and the whole body will be warm and comfortable through the residual internal heat, thus achieving the real effect of dispelling cold and treating diseases.

Cupping is much better than vacuum cupping, and many people who believe in the concept of TCM health care prefer cupping. It should also be noted that the best time for cupping is in the dog days of summer, which can better reflect the concept of treating winter diseases in summer and the concept of health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine.
