Blood cupping is known in Chinese medicine as stabbing and cupping, which has the effect of clearing heat, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relieving pain and dispelling wind-cold.
Cupping is one of the common external treatments in traditional Chinese medicine, which is a treatment method to increase the bleeding volume by adsorbing the cupping pot to the site after puncturing the site with three-pronged needles and other needles.
Cupping can be used for the treatment of fever, such as fever, sore throat caused by fire and heat, soft tissue injuries, stasis and pain after sprains, skin diseases such as herpes zoster, dengteng (acute infections, the skin can be seen as red like paint), and rheumatism pain in the lower back and legs.
Stabbing and cupping is not suitable for patients with anemia and coagulation disorders. The operation is dangerous and should be performed by a professional physician to avoid infection, burns and other undesirable consequences.
