1, is cupping effective for losing weight?
First, promote systemic blood circulation.
The negative pressure in the cylinder is caused by exhaust. The cylinder edge can cling to the skin surface, pulling nerves, muscles, blood vessels and subcutaneous glands, which can cause a series of nervous and endocrine system reactions, adjust the vasodilation function of blood vessels and the permeability of blood vessel walls, thus improving the blood circulation of the whole body.
Second, eliminate toxins from the body.
The strong suction of cupping negative pressure can fully open pores, stimulate and strengthen the functions of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and make the aged cells on the skin surface fall off, thus accelerating the discharge of toxins and wastes in the body.
Third, the warming effect
When the human body is attacked or injured by external factors such as wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, fire (six evils), it can disturb the normal physiological functions of viscera and produce blood stasis, qi stagnation, phlegm retention, food retention, turbid water and pathogenic fire. These pathogenic factors run through the whole body through the meridians of the human body, filling the acupoints on the meridians, disturbing the operation of qi and blood, and causing qi and blood stagnation. Cupping can dispel the six evils of human body, ventilate and promote blood circulation, and relax channels and activate collaterals. Its warming effect can dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow and enhance the permeability of blood vessel walls.
Chinese medicine believes that cupping can dredge meridians, adjust qi and blood, and balance yin and yang. Meridian has the physiological functions of "promoting qi and blood circulation, nourishing yin and yang, strengthening Confucianism and Taoism". If the meridians are blocked, the menstrual flow is blocked and the blood stagnates, it may lead to various symptoms and skin problems such as weakness, bloated figure, spots, acne, wrinkles and dryness on the face. By cupping the skin, pores, meridians and acupoints, the qi of ying and Wei can be guided to start to diverge, and the qi and blood of meridians can be encouraged, so that the organs and tissues of zang-fu organs can be nourished by Confucianism, and the fur can be warmed. At the same time, the weak functions of zang-fu organs can be activated, the meridians can be dredged, the balance of yin and yang can be adjusted, and the qi and blood can be adjusted, so as to achieve the purposes of fitness, beauty and treatment.
Fourth, the slimming effect of cupping
The internal pressure of cupping can dredge meridians, balance qi and blood, regulate endocrine, accelerate blood and lymphatic circulation, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, thus improving digestive function, accelerating metabolism, increasing heat and fat consumption, and reducing body surface fat and deep body fat, thus achieving the purpose of safety, health care and rapid weight loss.
2, cupping matters needing attention
1, pay attention to your physical condition before cupping.
Cupping is not suitable for patients with heart disease, hypertension and skin allergy, or women during menstruation, pregnancy, after meals and drinking.
You don't want to pull it anywhere.
Some parts of the body, such as the navel, are not suitable for cupping, and there are broken skin, bruises and so on, especially where the old scar of cupping is still there.
3. You can't take a bath immediately after cupping.
Bathing after cupping is a taboo. The skin is very fragile after cupping. If you take a bath, it is easy to cause skin damage and cause skin diseases. Therefore, it is best to take a bath every two or three hours after cupping.
4. Cupping cannot be located in a ventilated place.
When cupping, skin pores open. If it is located in a ventilated place, cold can easily enter the body and catch cold.
5, cupping can not be as long as possible.
Many people mistakenly think that the longer the cupping time, the better, and the bigger the can. These ideas are all wrong. The longer the cupping time, the bigger the cupping can, and the greater the adsorption force to the skin, which may be unbearable for older and weaker people. On the contrary, it may cause skin blisters, skin infections and other problems.
6. Observe the patient's physical reaction.
If the patient feels unwell, the can should be removed immediately. This is not because cupping has a reaction, but because the patient may feel dizzy. If you can't handle the patient's condition, send it to the doctor at once.
Cupping is not as simple as it looks. It is the best policy to be familiar with acupoints and techniques when cupping. You must pay attention to the changes of your body when you operate at home, but it is best to invite a professional doctor to operate.
