Cupping can relieve muscle tension and fatigue to some extent. This therapy can reduce weight by pulling a few acupoints on the bed, and at the same time, it needs to meet two conditions: First, businessmen are crazy about money. Second, you just want to be thin and stupid. Myth 2: Cupping can eliminate dampness. Truth: No, it mainly depends on internal handling. Cupping only stimulates the local blood circulation of the skin. Zhuang Zeng, director of the acupuncture department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, once said: "Cupping can dispel dampness and detoxify, which is the biggest misunderstanding of this therapy." Southerners along the coast suffer from damp heat and try their best to get rid of it. When cupping, heat and pressure will cause a layer of water mist on the skin. Merchants want to make money, so they take the opportunity to tell you: Look, you are so wet! What is wet?
Chinese medicine believes that the essence of wetness is water. It is excreted mainly through urine and sweat. Therefore, eliminating dampness basically depends on internal treatment. Only by conditioning the spleen and stomach and persisting in exercise can we really achieve the effect of eliminating dampness. Cupping water is actually the tissue fluid of human body, not the legendary water. Therefore, if there are many light yellow blisters like beads when cupping, accompanied by heat pain, don't doubt that you have been burned. Myth 3: Cupping can detoxify. Truth: No, it has no effect on eliminating toxins from the body. Cupping is an ancient therapy. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, some people in China used it to cut hemorrhoids. Traditional Chinese medicine used it to suck snake venom and scorpion venom in the Tang Dynasty. Because of these uses, the saying that cupping can detoxify has been passed down.
The more you spread it, the more ridiculous it is. I tried cupping. After cupping, the technician pointed to the can mark on my back and said to me, "Look! The color here is very dark, indicating that your spleen and stomach have toxins and your liver is not very good. I usually have nothing to do. You really need to detoxify more. " I just smiled and said nothing. Myth 4: The color of can print reflects the health truth: No, the color of can print is only related to skin color, blood color, strength and technique. In the process of cupping, the skin will break the capillaries due to negative pressure, and then form blood stasis, commonly known as cupping spots or cupping marks. Many people will judge their health according to the depth of the can label, which is actually a common misunderstanding.
In fact, human blood is the same as skin, and the color is different, so whether it is scraping or cupping, the color will vary from person to person. Someone is not satisfied: then the seal of my can is getting shallower and shallower. What can I say? This can only show that the local blood circulation and metabolism of the skin have indeed improved, but it is not directly related to the water and toxins in your body and the health of the corresponding organs. In addition, the color of the can seal is also related to the type and pressure of cupping. Besides cupping, Chinese medicine also includes bamboo tubes and gas cylinders. If cupping is done with a bamboo tube with low pressure, the sealing of cupping can be much lighter. So, don't worry when you see purple, and you don't deserve to be happy when you see light red. In most cases, only everyone's physique is different.
