Since ancient times, cupping has been a treatment method for the purpose of preventing and treating diseases and strengthening the body, and is also an important therapy in acupuncture treatment. Cupping therapy is to use the jar as a tool to generate negative pressure by burning fire and pumping gas, so that it is adsorbed on the specific cupping site on the body surface, producing stimulation of meridian points to achieve the purpose of health care. Cupping is commonly used for the prevention and treatment of colds, neck, shoulder, back and leg pain, obesity, headache, heat stroke, acne, stomach pain and chronic fatigue syndrome. Cupping therapy is popular among patients because it is simple and convenient, economical, painless and effective. Cupping helps to dispel dampness and relieve summer heat. Summer dampness is easy to invade the meridians, resulting in blockage of the meridians, summer closed qi, dysfunction of the internal organs. And in the hot season, long sighing air conditioning can also lead to various adverse reactions, such as back and neck pain, joint pain, suffering from colds, and so on. Doctors, cupping not only can play a role in health, but also to prevent the above problems, to achieve the efficacy of dampness, summer, cold. Cupping therapy has the effects of sweating and relieving the surface, moving Qi and blood, reducing swelling and pain, and warming and dispersing cold. In addition to relieving summer dampness, cupping in summer is also useful for solving the problem of summer heat and cold dampness caused by the closed sweat pores caused by the air-conditioned environment, which cannot be dispersed. The negative vacuum pressure generated by cupping on the meridian points can suck the pores open and make the skin congested with blood, sucking the pathological products out of the body from the skin pores, thus unblocking the meridians and blood, adjusting the function of the internal organs, and achieving the purpose of dispelling dampness, relieving summer heat and expelling cold to prevent and treat diseases. What does the color of the cupping marks indicate? In addition to the prevention and treatment of diseases, cupping reflects the physical condition and constitution of the body, which can be judged according to the skin marks, impressions, shape and color after cupping. But the doctor reminded that these can only be used as a reference, the specific diagnosis and treatment should be checked by the hospital first. 1, after starting the jar, there is no jar marks, or although there are jar marks but immediately disappeared, the skin returned to normal, suggesting that the body is basically normal or lighter disease and evil. 2, the canister marks are bright red and colorful, indicating heat, actual disease, inflammation. 3, the jar marks are white, indicating a deficiency, Qi and blood deficiency, low function. 4, the jar mark is purple with plaque, indicating siltation, old diseases, Qi stagnation and blood stagnation. 5, the jar seal is green, indicating a cold disease. 6, the jar mark is purple and dark, indicating blood stagnation, such as poor menstruation, dysmenorrhea, etc. 7, the jar issued purple, accompanied by plaques, and the marks do not recede for several days, generally suggests a local cold clotting blood stasis, the disease has been a long time. 8, large black and purple marks after walking the jar, suggesting the feeling of wind and cold. 9, easy to blister after cupping, suggesting heavy dampness.
