Advantages and disadvantages of cupping 1 1. Advantages of cupping
1. 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 the blood flow smooth and strengthen the body.
2. 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.
3. By cupping, the moisture and cold in the body can penetrate through the skin tissue, thus eliminating evil spirits and making people feel refreshed.

Second, the disadvantages of cupping
1. For some patients with inflammatory or hemorrhagic diseases, cupping is not only a helpless move, but even has more destructive consequences.
2. The time and interval of cupping should be well grasped. Some people often cupping because they like the process. As a result, their skin is very bad, causing infection and serious skin abrasions.
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.
Advantages and disadvantages of cupping are 2 1, which can balance yin and yang.
Strong yang is hot, while strong yin is cold. Fever is the expression of exuberant yang, while aversion to cold is the symptom of exuberant yin. At this time, Dazhui cupping can treat febrile diseases, while Guanyuan is a cold disease.
2, reconcile the viscera
Cupping therapy binds the meridian points, which makes the points on the body surface hyperemia and congestion, and the points are connected with the viscera through the meridians, thus treating various visceral diseases.
3, dredge meridians
Cupping therapy stimulates the skin of acupoints and meridians on the body surface through its warm mechanical stimulation and negative pressure suction, and the skin of acupoints and meridians is closely connected with meridians. Therefore, cupping can dredge meridians, reconcile camp and health, dispel all kinds of evil spirits in meridians, smooth qi and blood, nourish and dredge meridians, and thus treat various diseases.
Disadvantages of cupping
1, frequent cupping can lead to skin infection.
Many people think that cupping takes at least half an hour to be effective. Chinese medicine reminds that cupping actually varies according to the size, material and negative pressure of cupping. However, generally speaking, it is advisable that the time from lighting the fire, sliding the can to lifting the can should not exceed ten minutes. Because the main principle of cupping is negative pressure rather than time, if cupping takes too long under the condition of high negative pressure until the blister is pulled out, it will not only hurt the skin, but also cause skin infection.
2. Taking a bath after cupping is easy to catch a cold.
You really should pay attention to order. You can cupping after taking a bath, but you must never take a bath immediately after cupping. After cupping, the skin is in a damaged state and very fragile. Bathing at this time can easily lead to skin damage and inflammation. If you take a cold bath, it is easy to catch cold because your skin is in a state of open pores. So you must not take a bath immediately after cupping.
3, pore opening is easy to induce stroke.
Cupping is to open the pores of the skin to make it in a relaxed state, so that the water and sediment in the body will be sucked out, but the cold outside will also enter the body through the relaxed pores, which may cause a cold and even induce a stroke. So don't take a cold bath after cupping, keep warm in time to prevent the cold from invading.
Advantages and disadvantages of cupping 3 misunderstandings 1: Take a bath after cupping.
Many people like to take a bath after cupping, thinking it is very comfortable, but it is very incorrect to do so. Because the skin is in a very fragile state at this time, bathing can easily cause skin rupture and inflammation. Especially taking a cold bath, because the pores of the skin are open at this time, it is easy to catch cold. Suggestion: The correct bathing time is 1~2 hours after cupping. Keep warm after cupping, and the bath water temperature should be slightly higher.
Myth 2: The longer the better.
Many people think that the longer the cupping time, the better the effect will be. They even think that it takes blisters to show the effect of cupping. In fact, this is also wrong. Because cupping takes too long, blisters may appear, which not only hurts the skin, but also may cause skin infection. Suggestion: The correct cupping time should be 10~ 15 minutes. If the elderly or children are in poor health, the time should be halved.
Myth 3: Pull repeatedly in the same position.
If you don't pull it twice at a time, you can pull it repeatedly in the same position, which is considered to be the only way to pull it out. In fact, doing so will cause damage to the skin, such as redness, swelling and breakage ... then it will not pay off. Suggestion: When cupping, it can be pulled in multiple parts to increase the therapeutic effect.
Myth 4: Take out your chest and stomach.
Many people think: I can pull it out if it's uncomfortable. If my stomach hurts or my chest is uncomfortable, I will pull my stomach and chest out. In fact, this is also wrong. Generally, cupping is best not to pull out the chest and stomach, because there is no scientific basis for such pulling.
Suggestion: Our usual cupping positions are waist, back and shoulders.
