So how to identify the skin color after cupping? The following contents will tell you in detail the skin color identification method after cupping.
Why does the skin itch after cupping?
After cupping, it is normal that the edge will feel tight and itchy due to the stimulation and congestion of the local mouth. Traditional Chinese medicine indicates that there is wind and dampness, and pain first and then itching indicates that there is fire poison in the body. When you encounter itchy skin, don't panic, it is an inevitable phenomenon that sick gas is discharged. After continuous treatment for a period of time, the reaction will naturally disappear, generally not for a long time, some are 1-2 days, and some are in serious need of 1-2 weeks.
But some of them are allergic to the material of cans, most of which are porcelain cans or bamboo cans, especially bamboo medicine cans. Some patients will have allergies due to drug fumigation. Ordinary glass tubes are not allergic, but if the jar mouth is too hot or pulled for too long, it will lead to poor local blood circulation, redness, blisters and even bursting.
After cupping, the traces of cupping will generally fade in 3-5 days, and many will itch the next day. This is normal. This is the final process of repairing the damaged tissue, don't worry. If the symptoms persist, it is recommended to see a dermatologist and use some topical drugs.
Cupping method
When cupping, the patient is comfortable.
"Cupping" is a common name for cupping therapy, also known as "cupping" or "straw". It is a therapeutic method to exhaust the air in the tank by heating, so that it can be sucked on the skin under negative pressure, resulting in blood stasis. This therapy can dispel cold and dampness, dredge channels and collaterals, remove blood stasis, promote circulation of qi and blood circulation, relieve swelling and pain, remove toxin and clear heat, and has the functions of regulating the balance of yin and yang, eliminating fatigue and strengthening the body, thus achieving the purpose of strengthening the body resistance, eliminating pathogenic factors and treating diseases. So many diseases can be treated by cupping therapy. For example, when people reach middle age, muscle soreness is very common. According to the interpretation of traditional Chinese medicine, it is mostly rheumatism. When cupping, the cupping mouth can cover the affected part, which can slowly suck out the water in the focus and promote local blood circulation at the same time, so as to achieve the purpose of relieving pain and restoring function, thus treating rheumatism, joint pain, muscle soreness and other discomfort. Cupping can promote qi and blood circulation, dispel wind and cold, reduce swelling and relieve pain, so it has a certain therapeutic effect on lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation. Teacher Diao also introduced that cupping can also be used on human acupoints to treat headache, dizziness, eye swelling, cough, asthma, abdominal pain and other diseases, and cupping can be performed many times at the same time.

Manual treatment of spinal diseases is the first choice for all types except spinal cord type, and cupping therapy can also improve the state of cervical spasm. In clinical practice, we often use cupping as a relaxation method before manual therapy. Practice has proved that this method is simple and efficient, and obviously saves manpower, which can be used as a reference for medical and Taoist colleagues. The cupping method of cervical spondylosis is introduced as follows:
Blood stasis type: the symptoms are stiff pain of neck bone, fixation, pain like acupuncture and numbness of limbs.

Cupping at Yongquan point
The growth, development and aging of human body are directly related to the rise and fall of kidney qi. If the kidney is full of qi, it will grow normally, be full of energy, have firm bones and teeth, and be mentally alert. Deficiency of kidney qi leads to slow growth and development, lack of energy, flabby bones and muscles, and dry ears. Therefore, the ancients attached great importance to the human kidney, calling it "the innate foundation" and "the source of growth and development". Yongquan point is the first point of the kidney meridian, which is located in the palm of the lowest part of the human body. The evil of dampness and toxin in the body is sticky, easy to accumulate in the lower part, difficult to discharge, accumulate over time, block menstruation, or spread to other parts of the body with it, causing many diseases. Therefore, cupping at Yongquan point can eliminate the dampness in the body in time, dredge the qi of the meridians of kidney meridian due to yin deficiency, make the human body full of energy, and have the functions of strengthening teeth, blackening hair, hearing and improving eyesight, and delaying aging. If you can puncture blood and cupping at Yongquan point, the effect will be better.
Treatment and Prevention of Cold by Cupping at Dazhui Point
Dazhui point is the acupoint of Du meridian. "Du" means Du and Du. Du meridian runs in the middle of human back, up to the head and into the brain, and has the functions of controlling and promoting yang meridian and qi in the whole body. Therefore, du meridian is called "the governor of all yang" and "the sea of yang pulse". Dazhui point is located in the back pole of human body, which is the intersection of the three Yang meridians of hands and feet and the du meridian, so it is the Yang point in Yang. It has the function of controlling the yang of one body and connecting the yin of one body. Therefore, cupping at Dazhui point often has the functions of regulating yin and yang, eliminating pathogenic factors and dredging channels, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation, preventing diseases such as colds, coughs, headaches and strokes, and enhancing the body's resistance.
Acupoint cupping supplements vitality
Cupping at Guanyuan, Qihai and Mingmen points can replenish vitality. Because both Qi Hai and Guan Yuan belong to Ren Meridian, the distance is relatively close, so they can be sucked and pulled in one pot at the same time.
Guanyuan point and Qihai point have strong functions and are important points for health care of middle-aged and elderly people. The ancients thought that Qihai point was a "sea of vitality"; Guanyuan point, also known as Tiandan, is the intersection of the three Yin meridians of human foot and Ren meridian; Mingmen point is located under the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra in the middle of the back. It is an important acupoint of the "Mingmen" du meridian, where qi enters and exits, and has the function of tonifying kidney and strengthening yang. When people reach old age, the kidney-qi is often insufficient, and the yang-qi declines. Therefore, pulling these acupoints often has the functions of nourishing vitality, benefiting kidney and solidifying essence, and prolonging life.
Want to regulate blood and replenish blood, pull out Sanyinjiao point.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Sanyinjiao point is located three inches above the medial malleolus, which is the intersection of the three Yin meridians of liver, spleen and kidney. Liver stores blood, spleen controls blood, and kidney stores essence, "essence and blood are homologous". Kidney is the foundation of nature, and spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow. Nature depends on the nourishment of the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow depends on the promotion of nature.
Often point at Sanyinjiao, which can regulate the qi and blood of liver, spleen and kidney. After three periods of qi and blood harmony, the innate essence is vigorous, and the acquired qi and blood are sufficient, so as to achieve the purpose of conditioning essence and blood, health and longevity.
Cupping therapy of diabetes in traditional Chinese medicine
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. The main features are hyperglycemia, diabetes, polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, emaciation and fatigue, which are called diseases of modern civilization. Its typical symptoms are "three more and one less", that is, drinking more, urinating more, eating more and wasting away.
According to Chinese medicine, cupping therapy is to use cupping device to suck and pull the affected parts or acupoints, so as to dredge qi and blood, dredge meridians, eliminate pathogenic qi, adjust the balance of yin and yang of human body, enhance human body's disease resistance, and finally achieve the purpose of strengthening the body resistance and eliminating pathogens and curing diseases.

Health care function of cupping at Zusanli point
Zusanli is the meeting point of Zuyangming's stomach meridian, one of the four general points, and it is also the most important health-care point for human body, which was called "Changshou Point" by the ancients. Stomach meridian of Foot Yangming is a pulse filled with qi and blood, which runs through the whole body from head to toe and is mainly distributed in the front edge of head, chest, abdomen and lower limbs. Therefore, cupping at Zusanli point can not only regulate the function of digestive system, but also has a certain curative effect on headache, toothache, mental disorder, fever, rhinitis, mouth and eye deviation, sores on mouth and lips, asthma, palpitation, hypertension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms, so it is called "stagnation of three li in the abdomen".
Zusanli meridian theory has been confirmed by a large number of modern scientific research institutes. Zusanli point can regulate the function of cerebral cortex and promote cardiovascular function, gastrointestinal peristalsis and endocrine function. In our country, there is an experience that "if you want to be safe, it is often not three miles." In ancient times, people often used moxibustion to make Zusanli bubble and run water to prevent diseases. In fact, cupping at Zusanli point can play the same or even more effective health care role.
Georgia is a famous longevity area in the world, where there is a popular bloodletting method, that is, a very simple tool is used to puncture the outside of the leg and knee (just at Zusanli point) to let the blood drip out. Bleeding is carried out regularly in this way every year, usually when physical strength is abundant and there are too many toxins in the body. So why do you want to do this? An old Hala family aged 1 14 replied that they are used to doing this, and his great-grandfather taught them, "Otherwise, they will not live long."
Health care function of cupping at Siguan point
Siguan point is the general name of Hegu point and Taichong point. Hegu point is the original point of Shouyangming large intestine meridian and one of the four major points. It is located between the first metacarpal bone and the second metacarpal bone, which is also commonly known as the "tiger's mouth". Taichong point is the transmission point and original point of the liver meridian of Zujueyin. Located between the first metatarsal bone and the second metatarsal bone on the instep. Hegu point and Taichong point are both important health-care points for human body. Together, they are called "Four Pass Points", which means the gateway to human life.
The Yangming large intestine meridian of the hand starts from the hand, along the outside of the arm, and ends at the Xiang Ying point of the head and face. Therefore, headache, sore throat, dry mouth, nosebleeds, toothache, facial and facial diseases can all be treated and prevented by cupping at Hegu point, so it is called "face-mouth combination". At the same time, cupping at Hegu point can also keep the qi and blood of the large intestine unblocked, so that the metabolites and toxins in the body can be excreted in time.
The liver meridian of Foot Jueyin starts from the foot, goes along the inner side of lower limbs, bypasses the genitals, and goes from both sides to the top of the head. The liver stores blood, governs the drainage, strengthens the liver and improves eyesight. Taichong point is the transmission point and the original point of the liver meridian, so cupping at Taichong point can prevent and treat mental system diseases, reproductive system diseases, hepatobiliary system diseases, dizziness and headache, red eyes and swelling, and impassable tendons and veins. Cupping at Taichong point can regulate blood pressure, make blood pressure tend to be normal, enhance sexual function, regulate mood, clear brain and improve eyesight, and make people have new energy and comfortable mood to face life.
The role of cupping in navel
The point of navel is called Shenque, which is one of the important points of Ren meridian. The fetus receives nutrition from its mother through umbilical cord, so umbilical cord is the "root of life" and the gateway to the air. Ren meridian always leads a body of yin meridian, which runs in the middle of chest and abdomen, connects the heart and lungs, passes through the spleen and stomach, and passes through the liver and kidney. Therefore, Shenque point is the sea of meridians and the foundation of the internal organs. Cupping at Shenque point often has the functions of strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney, restoring yang and relieving adverse events, regulating the stomach and intestines, promoting qi and promoting water circulation, dispersing stagnation and promoting blood circulation, and regulating menstruation. At present, some umbilical therapy creams on the market are based on this principle. If the medicine can be directly applied to the navel after cupping, the effect will be more significant.
It should be noted that the negative pressure is not easy to be too large and the cupping time is not easy to be too long when cupping at Shenque point. It is best to choose a negative pressure tank, because the negative pressure is easy to adjust and it is not easy to burn the skin. When the skin appears congestion or slight blood stasis, it can be relieved.
The misunderstanding of cupping
Cupping therapy, also known as cupping, is to use the suction of cups and jars to adsorb on acupuncture points or a painful part of the human body, making the skin red and purple, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment. Many people are used to cupping at home, and due to the lack of professional guidance, some misunderstandings are easy to occur. For example:
Take a bath immediately after cupping Many people who love bathing often say that cupping and bathing are indispensable. Indeed, warm bath water and warm cupping are comfortable to think about before pulling out after washing, and then washing after pulling out. However, we really need to pay attention to this order. You can cupping after taking a bath, but you must never take a bath immediately after cupping.
After cupping, the skin is in a damaged state and very fragile. Bathing at this time can easily lead to skin damage and inflammation. If you take a cold bath, it is easy to catch cold because your skin is in a state of open pores. So you must not take a bath immediately after cupping.
The longer the time, the better the effect. Many people say that cupping takes at least half an hour. Some people think that pulling blisters can reflect the effect of cupping, especially some elderly people hold this view. And is cupping really as long as possible?
Cupping varies according to the size, material and negative pressure of cupping. But generally speaking, the time from ignition to can lifting should not exceed ten minutes. Because the main principle of cupping is negative pressure rather than time, if cupping takes too long under the condition of high negative pressure until the blister is pulled out, it will not only hurt the skin, but also cause skin infection.
