It is the use of burning, suction, squeezing and other methods to remove the air in the jar, so that the jar in the formation of negative pressure, so that the jar will be sucked on the body meridian points or sick parts to treat disease method. There are many kinds of “jars” used in cupping, the common ones are glass jars, ceramic jars, bamboo jars, rubber jars, plastic extraction jars, etc. Among them, glass jars are the most commonly used in clinical practice. The glass jar is the most commonly used clinically, because of its smooth and transparent, you can observe the skin congestion, bruising, blistering and bleeding in the jar. The rubber jars and plastic extraction jars commonly used in the home are easy to use, but cannot be used with fire, so the effect is smaller. According to the size of the jar is also divided into many models, different parts and acupuncture points with different models, back and legs with a large number, forehead, neck with a small number. Because of the wide applicability and demand for cupping therapy, nowadays there are more and more places that provide cupping treatment. In addition to hospitals, many massage parlors, beauty salons also have cupping services, and some patients will buy the jar directly home to cupping themselves. The folk view is that cupping can pull out the cold and dampness in the body, so regular cupping will not pull out the “vital energy”? It should be said that this worry is not necessary, cupping will not hurt vital energy. However, when cupping, you should pay attention to mastering the correct method, finding the right treatment area, and mastering the time and strength of cupping, otherwise it will cause harm to the body. Some people ask if they can cupping at home. For some simple conditions, such as cold and wind chill, muscle aches and pains, cupping can be done at home. This treatment is especially good for neck, back and limb pain, cold and wind chill, as well as some internal and gynecological diseases, and is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, as well as young people who often work at a desk, and can effectively relieve pain and discomfort. However, cupping is not a cure for all diseases. The main problem with cupping at home is to prevent burns and local skin blisters caused by prolonged cupping. It is recommended that the best use of pumping cans or rubber cans, cupping time to 5-15 minutes is appropriate; distinguish between physical. Those who are too weak should not cupping, it will make the weak more weak; heart disease, blood disease, skin disease, pregnant women, women during menstruation, too full, too hungry, drunk are not suitable for cupping; navel, precordial area, skin tender places, broken places, scar, nipples, bone prominence are not suitable for cupping. Before the old cupping marks fade, it is best not to cupping; cupping should not be immediately after the bath. After cupping, the skin is in a state of “injury”, sensitive and fragile, so bathing at this time can easily lead to skin breakage and inflammation, so it is recommended to wait for two to three hours. Avoid direct wind blowing when cupping to prevent cold; if you get blisters after cupping, more than 3 blisters in each can, you should promptly apply burn cream or go to the hospital for treatment.
