3 Overview Moving cans is also called pushing cans [1]. Cupping therapy is to push and pull the cupping to expand the action surface [1].
4 Operation Method Before cupping, apply a layer of lubricating oil such as vaseline and sheep fat to the skin or mouth of the cupping area as a medium, and then suck out the cupping area on the skin in the selected area by flashing fire or dropping wine. Then, the doctor presses the cupping area with his right hand and tightens the skin with his left hand, up, down or left. At the part to be pulled out, push it back and forth until the skin of the pulled out part is ruddy, congested or even bruised, and then lift the jar.
Negative pressure and the speed and intensity of cupping should be adjusted according to the condition and the patient's physique. Move the cans immediately after smoking, otherwise it will be difficult to move the cans after smoking; When moving cans, the action should be gentle, and the force should be even, steady and slow [2]. It is advisable to push and pull the negative pressure in the tank smoothly. If the negative pressure is too large or the force is too heavy and the speed is too fast, the patient is prone to pain and skin strain. The negative pressure is too small, the suction is insufficient, the cans fall off, and the treatment effect is poor [2].
This method is suitable for areas with large area and rich muscles, such as both sides of the spine, quadriceps femoris of lower limbs, lumbosacral region, abdomen and shoulder joint. It can be used to treat acute fever, paralysis, numbness, rheumatism, muscular atrophy and other diseases [2].
5. The commonly used cupping method in clinic is 5. 1. Inhale gently and push quickly. Protecting qi and eliminating exterior evils, gently inhaling is to use a small cupping. The skin on the inner side of cupping is 3 ~ 4 mm higher than that on the outer side of cupping, and the skin is slightly flushed, then coated with lubricant, and cupping is performed at a speed of about 30 cm per second.
This method has light adsorption force and weak * * * force, which mainly affects the function of the skin, so the effect is best when the surgical site or the whole body sweats after cupping. Skin is the distribution of the meridian system in the skin, which protects the qi in the skin, and plays a role in defending the body and resisting external evils. This operation is suitable for the skin, which can preserve health, replenish qi and eliminate exterior evils. When applied to exogenous diseases (mainly the skin of foot sun), it has obvious curative effect on skin numbness (with local operation) and other diseases.
5.2 Recharge and push quickly, dredge meridians and regulate qi and blood. Re-absorption is based on the fact that the skin surface in cupping is more than 8 mm higher than that outside cupping, and the skin is purplish red. Then apply castor oil to the skin, cupping speed is about 30 cm per second. Generally, large and medium cans are used for abdomen and back, and small cans are used for limbs.
This method has strong adsorption and strong * * *, and its function is mainly to influence the qi and blood of meridians through skin and acupoints, and then adjust the function of viscera. It is suitable for treating some diseases of meridians and viscera. Often choose back acupoints or abdominal meridian skin as the main choice.
5.3 Relapse and push slowly. After the cold and tender muscles are relapsed (as mentioned above), the skin is coated with castor oil, and the skin turns purple after moving the cans at a speed of 2 ~ 3 cm per second. Large and medium cans are used for the back and abdomen, and small cans are used for the limbs.
