What are the health benefits of fire cupping

Fire Cupping has the benefits of clearing the meridians and channels, relieving swelling and pain (eliminating swelling and pain), and dispelling wind and dispersing cold (eliminating wind and dispersing cold). However, fire cupping needs to be operated by a TCM physician and should not be done at home to avoid accidents. Fire cupping is a conventional physiotherapy method in Chinese medicine, which uses combustion to consume part of the oxygen in the can, and the heat of the flame to make the gas inside the can expand and exclude part of the air inside the can, so that the air pressure inside the can is lower than the outside atmospheric pressure, and then the can is adsorbed on the skin of the applied area, so that the local skin becomes congested or stagnant with blood, and then achieves certain therapeutic purposes. Fire Cupping is an external treatment method, which mainly has the effects of promoting qi and relieving pain (relieving pain by regulating the body’s qi), eliminating swelling and knots, dispelling wind and dispersing cold, and clearing heat and removing toxins, etc. It is mostly used for the treatment of shoulder, back, waist and leg pains caused by wind and cold, arthralgia, abdominal pain, menstrual pains, and other symptoms.
