Can navel cupping be done?
No problem.

The point of navel is called Shenque, which is one of the important points of Ren meridian. The fetus receives nutrition from its mother through umbilical cord, so umbilical cord is the "root of life" and the gateway to the air. Ren meridian always leads a body of yin meridian, which runs in the middle of chest and abdomen, connects the heart and lungs, passes through the spleen and stomach, and passes through the liver and kidney. Therefore, Shenque point is the sea of meridians and the foundation of the internal organs. Cupping at Shenque point often has the functions of strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney, restoring yang and relieving adverse events, regulating the stomach and intestines, promoting qi and promoting water circulation, dispersing stagnation and promoting blood circulation, and regulating menstruation. At present, some umbilical therapy creams on the market are based on this principle. If the medicine can be directly applied to the navel after cupping, the effect will be more significant.

It should be noted that the negative pressure is not easy to be too large and the cupping time is not easy to be too long when cupping at Shenque point. It is best to choose a negative pressure tank, because the negative pressure is easy to adjust and it is not easy to burn the skin. When the skin appears congestion or slight blood stasis, it can be relieved.
