Supplement; Cupping is commonly used in the following ways:
(1) Bamboo tube cupping: Take a solid and mature bamboo tube with one end open and the other end reserved as the bottom. The diameter of the spout is 3, 4 and 5 cm, and the length is about 8 ~ 10 cm. Large caliber, used for big waist and buttocks. Small caliber, used for joints of limbs. As for bamboo cupping, which is not commonly used for a long time, it is too dry and easy to penetrate into the air. Soak in warm water for a few minutes before use, so that the bamboo pot is tight and airtight before use. Bamboo is produced in the south, and bamboo pots are often used.
(2) Ceramic cupping: called ceramic cupping, it is made of clay with a round mouth and a big belly, then coated with black glaze or yellow glaze and fired in a kiln. There are several kinds, including large, medium, small and super-small. Ceramic cans are smooth inside and outside, with large pulling force, economical and practical, and are commonly used in rural areas in northern China.
(3) Glass cupping: Glass cupping is made of heat-resistant hard glass. It is shaped like a basket barrel, with a small belly and a slightly protruding edge. Divided into 1, 2, 3 sizes, clear and transparent, easy to observe, smooth bottle mouth, good suction force. Therefore, glass cupping is widely used.
(4) Air extraction tank: use penicillin, streptomycin or similar small medicine bottles to cut off the bottom of the bottles to make them smooth. The incision should be smooth, and the rubber stopper of the bottle mouth should be kept intact, which is convenient for pumping application. The prior art is made of transparent plastic and is not easy to break. The piston is arranged above, which is convenient for air pumping.

1, cupping principle in traditional Chinese medicine:
Chinese medicine believes that cupping can relieve evil spirits, enhance the body's resistance and eliminate evil spirits. Diseases are caused by pathogenic factors, such as excessive yin and yang, abnormal ascending and descending of human qi, dysfunction of viscera and qi and blood, etc. When the human body is attacked by wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, fire, poison, trauma or internal injury, it can lead to dysfunction of viscera and produce pathological products, such as blood stasis, qi stagnation, phlegm and saliva, food retention, turbid water and pathogenic fire. These pathological products are also pathogenic factors, which escape from the body through meridians and acupoints, reversing the flow direction of qi and staying in viscera; The meridians are blocked, which eventually leads to various diseases. The vacuum negative pressure generated by cupping has a strong suction force, which acts on the meridian points, and can suck away the pores, make the skin congested, and make the pathological products in the body be sucked out of the skin pores, thus dredging the meridian qi and blood, adjusting the function of viscera, and achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. Chinese medicine believes that cupping can dredge meridians and regulate qi and blood. Meridian has the physiological functions of "promoting blood circulation and qi circulation, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, and strengthening joints by Confucianism". Such as meridian obstruction, qi and blood obstruction, malnutrition, skin, meat, tendons, veins and joints atrophy, or qi and blood disharmony, six fu-organs are not transported. By cupping the skin, pores, meridians and acupoints, we can guide the expansion of the qi of ying and Wei, encourage the qi and blood of meridians, nourish viscera and organs with Confucianism, and warm the fur. At the same time, it can replenish the weak viscera function, dredge meridians, adjust the balance of yin and yang and regulate qi and blood, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, eliminating diseases and treating diseases.
2. The cupping principle of western medicine.
Modern medicine believes that the negative pressure formed in cupping therapy can make local capillaries congested or even ruptured, red blood cells ruptured, skin congested and self-hemolyzed, and then produce histamine and histamine-like substances, which flow with body fluids to stimulate various organs, enhance their functional activities and improve the body's resistance. Modern medicine believes that the stimulation of cupping negative pressure can dilate local blood vessels, promote local blood circulation, improve congestion, strengthen metabolism, change the nutritional status of local tissues, enhance the permeability of blood vessel wall and phagocytosis of white blood cells, and enhance physical fitness and human immunity. Modern medicine believes that the internal pressure of cupping can accelerate the circulation of blood and lymph, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, improve digestive function and promote. Accelerate the elimination and excretion of metabolites by muscles and organs.
3. How to pull it out
We don't recommend that you buy a set of vacuum tubes at random, at most 50 yuan, which is absolutely good for your health. Although some people say that vacuum wire drawing is not as good as fire, it is convenient and easy after all. I recommend you to use vacuum tube.
4. The meaning of cupping spots and colors.
Common pot spots are flush, purple or purple-black ecchymosis, small punctate purple-red rash, and often accompanied by different degrees of heat pain. These changes in the skin belong to the therapeutic effect of cupping therapy, which can last for one to several days.
After cupping, blisters, edema, water vapor and other cupping spots appear, indicating that the patient is wet or sick because he feels wet.
Sometimes the color of blisters is blood red or black red after being pulled out, indicating the pathological reaction of long-term illness and blood stasis.
The pot spot appears dark red, purple black or erythema, which is slightly painful to the touch and has fever, indicating that the patient has heat toxicity syndrome.
If the pot spot appears purple-red or purple-black, there is no blood stasis and fever, indicating that the patient has blood stasis.
The pot spot has no skin color change and the touch is not warm, suggesting that the patient has deficiency-cold syndrome.
There are tiny itching or dermatoglyphics in the spots, indicating that the patient has wind disease.
