Varicose veins cannot be treated by cupping. The effect of cupping can cause the blood to form subcutaneous stasis locally, which can stimulate the acupuncture points to play a therapeutic role, but varicose veins cannot be solved by this way. The cause of varicose veins is that the blood from the deep veins enters the superficial veins through the pathological venous valves, which causes the venous pressure in the superficial veins to rise, leading to a gradual increase in venous blood in the superficial veins, and over time, varicose veins will appear. However, cupping has no effect at all on the treatment of varicose veins, because cupping does not change the high pressure inside the veins of varicose veins, nor does it promote the improvement of blood circulation. Cupping tends to cause damage to the skin, which will bring more adverse symptoms to the patients with varicose veins.
