How to properly cupping

Cupping is a Chinese medicine method passed down by China for thousands of years. Although its principle has not been thoroughly studied yet, clinical cases of thousands of years have shown that cupping does have therapeutic effects.

Even at the 16-year Olympics, American swimmer Phelps had a canned cupping. It shows that American athletes are also using the cupping device to regulate the body.

The following is to teach you how to properly cupping：

1. Before cupping, the jar should be washed and dried to keep the patient in a comfortable position, the muscles are relaxed, and the treatment site is exposed, and the flower oil is applied to the treatment site.

2. According to the condition and treatment site, choose the appropriate size of the cans for general neck and shoulders, double upper limbs and calves with l~3 cups, and 1.5cmX1.5cmX2cm cuboid gauze.

For the back, knees, and thighs, use the No. 3 to No. 5 cupping, and use a 2 cm X 2 cm X 2.5 cm cuboid gauze.

3. Use a leather plier to clamp the 95% alcohol ignition on the gauze point. Alcohol should not be too much, so as not to spill the patient and burn the patient. Use a hand-held can when igniting, and take the leather tongs that have been ignited in the other hand. The operation should be quick. The smashing leather tongs are shaken in the tank and then the cans are quickly placed in the part to be treated; And tighten the can end to the affected area. Be careful not to heat the edge of the can to prevent burns.

4. The cupping time should not be too long. Generally, the cans can be removed in l0~13 minutes, but the cupping time of patients over 70 years old is 8~10min. Do not force the cans when you take them. Do not pull and turn them. The essentials are the cans. Tilting to one side, the other hand pressing the skin, allowing air to enter the can through the gap, the jar will naturally disengage from the skin.

Phenomenon after pulling out

Common cans have flushed, purple or purple-black plaques, small purple-red rashes, and often accompanied by varying degrees of heat pain. These changes in the skin are therapeutic effects of cupping therapy and can last from one to several days.

After cupping, the cans are blistered, edematous and watery, indicating that the patient is wet or sick due to wet feeling.

Sometimes the color of the blisters after the extraction is blood red or black red, indicating the pathological reaction of long-term wet blood stasis.

The phenomenon of deep red, purple black or tannin appeared in the spot, and the pain was slightly touched, and the body was also warm, indicating that the patient had a heat syndrome.

Such as the spotted spots appear purple or purple-black, no sputum and fever, indicating that the patient has bruises.

There is no skin color change in the canned spot, and the touch is not warm, which indicates that the patient has deficient cold syndrome.

If the plaque appears slightly itchy or appears in the essay, it indicates that the patient has wind disease.

Generally speaking, there is no obvious change in cane spots in patients without disease.
