Daughter, talk about brave cupping.

In summer, everyone wears cool clothes. Some people can always see red or purple round marks on their shoulders, backs and waists. They know cupping at a glance, and some even have cakes on their backs. Cupping is popular not only in China, but also abroad. Today I will tell you about cupping!

Why do you say that nine times out of ten you smoke, smoke mud for a long time and cupping those things?

Before explaining "ten pulls and nine asthenia, prolonged pulling will lead to blood stasis", let's talk about the principle, function and matters needing attention of cupping.

Why do you want cupping in summer? Cupping is almost impossible in other seasons, especially in winter. Let's look at the principle of cupping. Cupping sucks away moisture, cold and toxins from the skin through pressure difference. There are cupping and gas tanks now. Cupping is more dangerous than gas tanks, but the effect is better. Heat expands and contracts, so do our skin and capillaries. When the temperature is high, the pores of the skin open wider and blood and body fluids flow more easily. So it's easier to pull things out in the hottest summer. The cup is heated first to widen the pores, so it is better than the ordinary gas tank.

The color of cupping is generally red, purple or unchanged. It is said that red is moisture, purple and purple-black are cold, and red is more prone to blisters. Nothing has changed, which means nothing.

There are two types of cupping: fixed cupping and cupping. The former has a fixed point, which can pull out more uncomfortable places. When cupping, first apply medicinal oil to lubricate, and then move one or two cans on your body. Smooth back is suitable for cupping, and fixed point is suitable for pulling shoulder joint.

Let's talk about the precautions of cupping first.

What does cupping pull, except cold, dampness and blood stasis. , will also use their own good tissue fluid to pull. Chinese medicine says that vitality is lost. If cupping is done too often, things useful to the body will be lost and hurt. So control the time and frequency. Generally, cupping is better within 10 minutes, once every two or three days or once a week. "Ten strokes and nine deficiencies, long strokes will lead to blood stasis". Too frequent cupping is easy to hurt vitality and lead to weakness, while cupping for too long will lead to excessive blood stasis and even blisters, which is not good for your health. Blood stasis is "bad blood", and there is some "good blood" in it, but if the painting time is too long, there will be more "good blood".

It is said that blisters can be broken, but they should be disinfected and coated with iodine or something. Small bubbles will not burst, but will disappear after a period of time. The big one had better be broken and disinfected.

Besides, not everyone can cupping. Children's skin is weak, it is best not to pull it out; Too old, diabetes and other skin is easy to break, it is best not to pull it out; Dermatosis, inflammation, and broken parts cannot be pulled out; Blood diseases, such as leukemia, pernicious anemia and hemophilia. , cannot be deleted; Do not pull out varicose veins, tumors, arteries and other parts; Don't pull yourself out of insanity, drunkenness, hunger and satiety.

Finally, cupping, especially cupping, should be pulled by professionals, otherwise it will be easy to burn. The famous singer Chyi Chin had the experience of cupping. Cupping should be operated in an environment that is not easy to catch fire. Don't take a bath and blow the air conditioner immediately after cupping, because the pores are wide open at this time, which will easily lead to cold and dampness re-entering the body, and the cupping effect will be discounted. A few days ago, Bian Xiao once held a cup, but the trace did not disappear. As a result, he went to the seaside to play and swim. After two or three hours, the trace basically disappeared.

Studies at home and abroad have found that under the action of cupping negative pressure, negative pressure causes local capillary permeability changes and capillary rupture, and a small amount of blood enters the gap, resulting in blood stasis, which is the origin of cupping, red blood cells are destroyed, hemoglobin is released and hemolysis occurs. In the self-regulation of the body, it has the functions of promoting qi and blood circulation, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, relieving swelling and pain, expelling wind and removing dampness. , play a benign stimulating role and promote its normal function.
