Scraping and cupping first, then cupping, usually on the back. After scraping and cupping, if wind-cold, summer-dampness, damp-heat and blood stasis in the body cause local obstruction of meridians, which leads to blood stasis, then there will be obvious scabbing and cupping marks in the blood stasis area.

These boils and cupping marks are actually caused by local blood vessel rupture and bleeding and local skin resistance decline. In addition, the pores are still open after scraping and cupping. It is usually recommended not to touch cold water for 3 hours. But swimming in the water for a long time, coupled with many people swimming in the pool, the water in the pool is not very clean, which is easy to cause cold invasion and skin infection. So it is recommended to wait for a week before swimming, when the skin has basically recovered.

Can I use cupping for scraping? Scraping can be done by cupping.

Scraping is actually to dispel the superficial stasis, while cupping is to pull out the deep layer, and the two can cooperate with each other. If several meridians are treated together, they can also be treated at the same time. Although the methods of scraping and cupping are different, their principles of treating diseases are the same. Chinese medicine believes that "obstruction leads to pain", both of which are local dredging, and pain leads to obstruction. Modern medicine believes that both of them improve local muscle fiber adhesion and capillary blood circulation through external force.

3 The efficacy of scraping and cupping is 1. Relieve pain and fatigue. When muscles are in a state of tension, local blood perfusion will decrease, thus promoting tissue ischemia. The cupping technique in cupping can lengthen muscles, increase blood perfusion, raise the local pain tolerance threshold, and then relax muscles and re-reserve the required energy.

2. Taking medicine to expel pus is a negative pressure suction through cupping, which helps to expel local pus, toxins produced by bacteria and other substances that are not conducive to wound healing, and at the same time stimulates the growth of granulation tissue to shrink the wound, thus achieving the purpose of promoting wound healing.

3. Regulating immune function Because the blood stasis caused by cupping remains in the tissue gap, it can properly activate the body's immunity and has the ability to remove inflammatory substances, which is a benign self-exercise.

4. Promote blood circulation. This is because cupping can dilate blood vessels and improve local blood circulation, thus accelerating the excretion of waste and toxins, improving the nutritional status of local tissues and providing more nutrition and oxygen for cells.

5. Regulating the viscera function of human body This is the theory of the relationship between viscera and meridians. Cupping stimulation is selected along the meridians related to viscera, and it is suitable for cupping and sliding cupping. These manipulations can play a corresponding role in respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular and gynecological diseases, and help to regulate internal functions through sensory stimulation.

4 Precautions for Scraping and Cupping 1. You shouldn't drink cold drinks and eat iced watermelons. It is best not to touch cold water within two hours after scraping and cupping.

2. Don't turn on the air conditioner and fan when scraping and cupping to avoid air convection.

3. If you are too full, too hungry and too thirsty, don't scrape, scrape or cupping one hour after a meal.

4. When using cupping, care should be taken not to burn or scald the skin. If you burn or leave the jar for too long and your skin is blistered, it is too small to need treatment, just apply sterile gauze to prevent inflammation. When the blister is large, use a disinfectant needle to drain water, apply gentian violet liquid medicine, or wrap it with sterile gauze to prevent infection.

5, skin allergies, ulcers, edema and the distribution of large blood vessels, it is not appropriate to scrape and cupping. Cupping is also not suitable for people with febrile convulsions and pregnant women's abdomen, lumbosacral region.
