1, which can remove moisture in the body.
Due to modern people's lack of exercise, sedentary, drinking cold water, eating iced drinks, blowing air conditioning, indigestion of the spleen and stomach, it is easy to cause moisture accumulation in the body. Cupping is helpful to dispel cold and dampness, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis through the purging method of traditional Chinese medicine. Because swimmers are in the water for a long time, it is very good to use cupping to expel moisture.
2. Cupping can dredge meridians.
Cupping can cooperate with cupping through specific acupoints, and reach the meridians of bones and muscles through superficial acupoints, which plays a role in dredging meridians and balancing yin and yang. If cupping is done near Jiaji point in Huatuo, it can dredge the meridians and qi and blood of the five internal organs, adjust the coordination of qi and blood meridians of the whole body, and enhance the body's disease resistance.
3, can improve blood circulation
Cupping can fully open pores through suction, causing a series of nervous and endocrine system reactions, regulating vasomotor function and permeability of blood vessel wall, thus improving systemic blood circulation.
4, can relieve muscle fatigue
Cupping can improve the qi and blood circulation of the body, and has the functions of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relieving spasm and pain, and relieving fatigue for those with shoulder, back and neck muscle pain and hand and foot weakness caused by overwork, qi stagnation and blood stasis.
5, cupping can lose weight.
Cupping can reduce weight by stimulating acupoints, adjusting meridians, strengthening spleen and tonifying kidney. It can select acupoints according to the position of obesity, dredge meridians, promote local metabolism, eliminate local fat, and achieve the effect of partial weight loss.
6. Cupping can enhance immunity.
Modern medical research has proved that a large number of extremely useful immune cells are hidden under the skin of human back, and they are usually in a "dormant" state without stimulation. If cupping is used to activate it and make it enter the blood circulation, it can become a reticular cell with the ability to swallow foreign bodies, which can actively eliminate harmful bacteria and improve human immunity.
7, can treat some diseases.
Cupping has therapeutic effects on rheumatic pain, leg coldness, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, muscle soreness, cold, headache, abdominal pain and asthma.
8. Precautions before and after cupping
1, pay attention to your physical condition.
Cupping is not suitable for people suffering from blood diseases such as heart disease, severe anemia, leukemia and thrombocytopenia, skin allergy, edema, edema, hypertension, blood diseases and bleeding tendency, skin diseases, pregnant women, menstrual period, fullness, thirst, hunger and drunkenness.
2. Some parts should not be pulled out.
The navel, precordial area, delicate skin, broken skin, varicose veins, scars, nipples and bony protrusions are not suitable for removal. It's best not to pull out the old mark of cupping until it fades.
3, distinguish between physical fitness.
Cupping and reinforcing diarrhea according to physique, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
4. Don't take a bath immediately after cupping.
After cupping, the skin is in an "injured" state, sensitive and fragile. At this time, bathing is very likely to cause skin damage and inflammation. I suggest waiting for two or three hours.
5, according to the cupping situation, generally take turns to take acupuncture points, not too much at a time. When the local blood stasis has not subsided, cupping should not be repeated in the original position.
6, cupping should pay attention to keep warm, avoid wind blowing, and prevent catching cold.
7. Blisters after cupping should be smeared with scald cream or treated in hospital.
8. Cupping time should be based on age, physique, gender and severity of illness. Generally, the cupping time is 10 ~ 15 minutes. Cupping takes a long time, so it can be shortened appropriately, otherwise blisters may appear. Generally, if the condition is mild or there are sensory disorders (such as numbness of lower limbs), the cupping time should be short. For patients with serious illness, long course of disease, deep focus and severe pain, cupping time can be slightly longer and the adsorption force is slightly greater.
9. In the process of cupping, the patient's reaction should be closely observed. In case of dizziness, nausea and vomiting, pale face, cold sweat, cold limbs and even dizziness, such as blood pressure drop, dyspnea and weak pulse, the jar should be taken out in time, so that the patient can lie flat and keep warm. Mild patients can be given a small amount of warm water or sugar water, which can quickly relieve and return to normal; Severe cases can be treated with acupuncture at Renzhong, Neiguan, Zusanli and Zhongchong points, or moxibustion at Baihui, Zhongji, Guanyuan and Yongquan points, which can generally be quickly relieved and returned to normal, or sent to the hospital immediately.
