The difference between fire cupping and gas cupping is mainly reflected in the mode of operation, the effect of cupping, the ease of operation and so on.
1. Operation mode: gas cupping mainly utilizes piston pumping, vacuum is formed in the tank, and the atmospheric pressure outside the tank is adsorbed on the skin; fire cupping utilizes fire to burn inside the tank, consume oxygen, and achieve negative vacuum pressure so as to achieve adsorption.
2. Cupping effect: gas cans and fire cans have the effect of activating blood circulation, activating meridians and collaterals, reducing swelling and relieving pain, but the temperature of fire cans is higher than that of gas cans, and the effect of removing cold is better than that of gas cans.
3. Difficulty of operation: gas can only need to pump the piston to control the degree of adsorption, fire cans need to control the size of the fire, but also need to be careful to prevent the fuel fall to the patient’s skin, the operation of gas cans is more difficult.
If you want to achieve pain relief or therapeutic purposes through cupping, it is recommended to be operated by a relevant professional doctor for treatment, do not operate on your own to avoid delaying the condition.
