Diseases are caused by pathogenic factors, such as excessive yin and yang, abnormal ascending and descending of human qi, dysfunction of viscera and qi and blood, etc. When the human body is attacked by wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness, fire, poison, trauma or internal injury, it can lead to dysfunction of viscera and produce pathological products, such as blood stasis, qi stagnation, phlegm and saliva, food retention, turbid water and pathogenic fire.

These pathological products are also pathogenic factors, which escape from the body through meridians and acupoints, disturb the qi movement and stay in the viscera; The meridians are blocked, which eventually leads to various diseases. The vacuum negative pressure produced by cupping has a strong suction, which acts on meridian points and can suck away pores and make the skin congested.

The pathological products in the body are sucked out of the body from the pores of the skin, so as to dredge the meridians and qi and blood, adjust the function of the viscera, and achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

Back cupping at home operation method:

First of all, pay attention to material selection. Bamboo tube for traditional Chinese medicine. If you can't find it, you can use glass bottles and ceramic cups, but the mouth must be thick and smooth, so as not to hurt the flesh because the mouth of the cupping jar is too thin. The bottom is preferably a wide semicircle. Before cupping, the can should be washed and dried, and then the patient should lie down or sit comfortably, exposing the part to be cupped, and then ignite the can.

When igniting, you usually hold the jar in one hand and the lighted probe in the other. The operation should be quick. After shaking the ignited probe in the jar several times, take it out and quickly put the jar on the part to be processed. When the fire is still burning, cover the altar mouth tightly on the affected area, and don't wait for the fire to go out, otherwise it will be too loose to suck out moisture. It's good to have the jar mouth tightly sucked on your body.

Be careful not to heat the edge of the jar mouth to avoid scalding. Generally, it takes 15-20 minutes to open the tank. When taking it, don't forcibly pull the can, don't pull it hard, and turn it. The key point of action is that one hand tilts the can to one side, and the other hand presses the skin, so that air enters the can through the gap, and the can naturally leaves the skin.
