Is cupping the same as massaging acupoints?
Generally speaking, they have a theoretical basis of iconicity: meridian research. I hope to achieve the same goal: treating diseases and saving lives.

Can immediately think of the difference is:

1, cupping requires tools and can be massaged by hand.

2, massage, massage has higher requirements for doctors and requires special training (of course, not massage in ordinary massage shops). Ordinary patients can relieve their illness without feeling pain, and both kinds of emergencies have strong curative effects. Cupping is relatively thick, and you can roughly know the direction of meridians. The most commonly used methods are to eliminate body cold, moisture, hot air and bloodletting.

Generally speaking, cupping therapy has a wide range and low intensity, while one finger meditation in massage can be very powerful and focused.

4. After cupping, the doctor can walk away temporarily, as long as he observes cupping from time to time, which is labor-saving, and the massage should be from beginning to end.

5, massage almost leaves no trace, and cupping generally leaves traces, and some people don't want to.

These are natural therapies, as well as acupuncture, moxibustion, sticking, bloodletting, auricular points, scraping and other natural therapies. A good doctor is good at discovering his own advantages, using local materials and taking them at random, just like the eighteen weapons in martial arts, and needs to be proficient in everything.
