What should I pay attention to when cupping at home? 1. When cupping, choose a suitable position and muscular parts. If the position is improper, the animal or the bones are scraggy, and there are too many hairs, it is not suitable. Generally pull out the acupoints on the back and choose prone position; Some acupoints in the neck, if the environmental conditions are limited, can choose sitting posture.
2, to prevent burns (before cupping, squeeze out the excess alcohol on the cotton ball, don't touch the jar mouth when the fire), you can also apply some water in cupping (warm water in winter). Applying water can reduce local temperature, protect skin and avoid scalding.
3, according to the location to choose the appropriate size of cans.
4, pay special attention to check whether the tank mouth is clear when walking.
5. Explain those nervous people first.
6. Cupping should be steady, accurate, light and fast. Cupping should be done gently. Put one hand against the skin next to the can, let the gas leak, and the can can be taken down. It is not allowed to pull or rotate.
7. Some parts are not suitable for cupping, such as apex, distribution of great blood vessels, pulsation of great arteries on the body surface, facial features and anus.
8, pregnant women with caution cupping, pregnant women abdomen, lumbosacral forbidden to pull.
9. When cupping with throwing fire, the flame must be strong and move quickly, so that the mouth of the can is tilted upward to avoid the fire source falling and scalding the skin. When using flash fire method, cotton swabs should not be dipped in too much alcohol to prevent alcohol from dripping and burning the skin. When sticking cotton, we should prevent burning cotton from falling off. When using the fire rack method, the cover should be accurate and don't knock over the burning fire rack. When using the boiling water tank, the hot water in the tank should be poured out to avoid scalding the patient's skin.
How long is it better to cupping at home? If you want to cupping, I suggest you do it once a week. Because the traces left by the last cupping will disappear completely in a week or so, the next cupping should be carried out after the traces fade. But you can pull it in another place. Pay attention to avoid local tissue damage, lumbar disc herniation and other symptoms in marked places. Cupping also has a certain effect. Long-term regular cupping can relieve pain and relieve symptoms.
Decompression: it can promote qi and blood circulation, relax muscles and tendons, relieve swelling and pain, dispel wind and remove dampness, etc. In the body's self-regulation, it can also play a benign stimulating role and promote its normal function.
Warming effect: Cupping has a warm stimulation effect on local skin, especially on cupping, water pot and medicine pot.
Regulating the balance of yin and yang in the body: due to the phenomenon of self-hemolysis after cupping, a histamine-like substance is immediately produced, which flows all over the body with body fluids, stimulates various organs, enhances their functional vitality, and is conducive to the recovery of body functions.
How often does cupping take place? Cupping time should also be mastered. If it is cupping alone, it is 10~ 15 minutes. If combined with acupuncture, it is usually acupuncture first and then cupping, and the time will be shortened to 7 or 8 minutes. According to the frequency of hospital treatment, it is usually treated once every two days. When the color is obviously improved after pulling out, you can stop this course of treatment (generally not more than ten times), rest for a while, and then conduct a second course of treatment if necessary.
Advantages and disadvantages of cupping 1. Through cupping, the moisture and cold in the body can penetrate through the skin tissue, thus eliminating evil spirits and making people feel refreshed.
2. Because the meridians, acupoints and internal organs of the human body are all connected, the external suction will stimulate the acupoints on the body surface, and then adjust the internal organs of the human body through the bones and muscles, so as to make people's blood flow smoothly and keep fit.
3. Cupping also has a certain effect on local tissue injury, lumbar disc herniation and other symptoms. Long-term regular cupping can relieve pain and relieve symptoms.
4. Now many beauty and slimming shops have begun to study and introduce the method of cupping to lose weight.
Disadvantages 1, the time and interval of cupping should be well grasped. Some people often cupping because they enjoy the process, and as a result, their skin is seriously damaged, leading to infection and serious skin abrasions.
2. For some patients with inflammatory or hemorrhagic diseases, cupping is not only a helpless move, but even has more destructive consequences.
3. After cupping, don't take a bath or catch cold for a certain period of time, otherwise it will cause moaning and even aggravate the condition.
