Can people cupping? 3 The benefits of cupping when women shave their backs.
First, relax muscles and tendons. Now more and more people suffer from cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis and low back pain. This is because when "soft tissue" (joint capsule, ligament, fascia, etc. ) When injured, the muscles will be in a state of tension, contraction and even spasm, and painful symptoms will appear. If not treated in time, people will form different degrees of adhesion, fibrosis or scarring, thus aggravating the condition; Scraping can relax muscles and collaterals and eliminate pain focus; Relieving muscle tension can obviously relieve pain symptoms and is also conducive to the recovery of lesions.
Second, promote metabolism and expel toxins. The human body is constantly undergoing metabolic activities every day, and the wastes generated in the metabolic process should be excreted in time. Scraping can scrape the metabolic "garbage" in the body to the body surface in time and deposit it in the pores under the skin, so that the blood flow in the body is smooth and the natural metabolic vitality is restored.
The advantages of cupping are as follows.
First, relieving pain and fatigue can stretch muscles and raise pain threshold, that is, when muscles are in a state of tension, local blood perfusion will be reduced, which will lead to tissue ischemia. However, cupping can lengthen muscles, increase blood perfusion, raise local pain threshold, and then relax muscles and re-reserve needed energy.
Secondly, taking medicine to expel pus, under the suction of cupping negative pressure, will help to expel local pus, toxins produced by bacteria and other substances that are not conducive to wound healing, and at the same time stimulate the growth of granulation tissue to shrink the wound, thus achieving the purpose of promoting wound healing.
Thirdly, adjust the immune function, because the blood stasis caused by cupping can leave the tissue gap, which can appropriately activate the body's immunity and have the ability to remove inflammatory substances. It is a kind of benign self-training.
