Cupping does not have a direct effect on the treatment of colds, but when cupping, it can promote blood circulation and stimulate the body’s immunity, which is helpful in recovering from colds. In particular, cupping can remove excess dampness and cold from the body, which can help to relieve wind-cold colds, which are caused by external wind-cold. However, if a wind-heat cold occurs, using cupping to treat the cold will aggravate the cold. When a cold occurs, the symptoms are typical, such as coldness and fear of cold, nasal congestion, runny nose, and white or clear nasal discharge. If there is coughing and phlegm, it is also white and thin phlegm. If you have a wind-heat cold, you will have a sore throat, fever, especially a sore throat, and a yellow nose or yellow phlegm.
