The benefits of cupping mainly include the promotion of blood circulation, the promotion of immune response, and the reduction of pain.
1. Promote blood circulation: The theory of blood circulation promotion is one of the most recognized physiological mechanisms of cupping therapy, which suggests that cupping can promote increased blood flow and accelerated blood circulation in the skin area of the can through negative pressure.
2. Promote immune response: the immune theory of inflammatory response means that cupping therapy can cause immune-inflammatory response in local tissues through suction, specifically physical pressure may stimulate the immune system, increase interferon and tumor necrosis factor and other immune factors to play a role in the therapeutic effect.
3. Reduce pain: when cupping produces sudden negative pressure stimulation on the local skin, large nerve fibers are more mobilized, so large nerve fibers are dominant in the reduction of pain signaling, cupping negative pressure in the canister will stimulate the skin’s nociceptive receptors, resulting in an increase in the frequency of impulses in large nerve fibers, and ultimately reduce pain.
If you are not feeling well, please consult a doctor in time. Cupping needs to be operated by a doctor, please do not operate on your own, so as to avoid improper operation leading to adverse consequences.
