How much do you know about the taboo of cupping
4hw.org: in autumn and winter, there are many people who pull out the fire pot. Recently, there have been frequent accidents due to cupping, so this cupping really needs to think twice. Take a look at a report on the Internet today.
Wuhan's Mr. Wu has been a slow-moving man for more than ten years. For this reason, he asked his wife to help him pull out the cupboard and get rid of the cold at home. But I didn't expect that after the cupping, Mr. Wu's face became more and more white. The doctor found that Mr. Wu's right lung had disappeared unexpectedly through chest X-ray examination. The hospital operated on the old man urgently and repaired the wound in his lung. After inquiring about the medical history, the doctor confirmed that the main cause of pneumothorax in the old man's lungs was cupping. Doctors say cupping can easily lead to changes in internal and external pressure in the chest, which may lead to pneumothorax. Patients with lung disease are forbidden to use cupping.
Six mistakes in cupping
1. Take a bath after cupping
Many people like to take a bath after cupping. They think it's very comfortable. In fact, it's not right. Because the skin at this time is in a very fragile state, at this time bathing is easy to cause skin rupture and inflammation. Especially when taking a cold bath, because the pores of the skin are open at this time, it is easy to catch cold. (Note: sweat is more in summer. You'd better take a bath before cupping, and dry your body to avoid affecting cupping absorption. )
Suggestion: the right bath time is 1-2 hours after cupping. After cupping, keep warm. The temperature of bath water should be slightly higher.
2. The longer you pull it out, the better
Many people think that the longer the cupping time is, the better the effect will be. They even think that the effect of cupping can only be reflected by pulling out the blister, which is also wrong. Because the cupping time is too long, there may be blisters, which not only hurt the skin, but also may cause skin infection.
Suggestion: the correct cupping time should be 10-15 minutes. If it's an old man or a child who is not in good health, the time should be halved.
3. Repeatedly unplug at the same position
If you do not pull out twice at a time, you can pull out the same position repeatedly, and think that you can pull out the effect in this way. In fact, it will cause damage to the skin, such as redness, damage & hellip; & hellip; that's not worth it.
Suggestion: when cupping, it can be pulled out at multiple positions to increase the therapeutic effect.
4. Pull out the chest and stomach
Many people think that if I feel uncomfortable, I will pull it out. If I have stomachache or chest discomfort, I will pull out my stomach and chest. In fact, this is also wrong. Generally, it is better not to pull out the chest and belly, because there is no scientific basis for pulling out the cupping.
Suggestion: we usually pull the cupping pot at the waist, back and shoulders.

There is little difference between old and new products
Cupping is also called cupping therapy, cupping or suction. There is not much difference between the functions of the traditional cupping device and the modern cupping device, especially the material difference, which has little influence on the curative effect of the cupping device. However, it needs to be noted that if it is aimed at cold diseases such as wind dampness, old cold legs, etc., it is better to use the traditional fire pot which needs to be ignited.
We must find out the cause of the pain before we start
Before use, it is necessary to find out the cause of pain. If the pain is caused by some chronic diseases, such as lumbar strain or sprain, it can be used by the patient when the cause of the disease is clear and the doctor's advice is given, which is also conducive to treatment. However, the causes of pain are sometimes very complex. Therefore, it is not recommended that people use cupping when they are not clear about the cause of the disease to come from my diagnosis and treatment. In addition, people with damaged skin or bleeding diseases (such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, purpura, etc.) are not suitable for cupping therapy.
II. Advantages of cupping
1. Balance yin and Yang
When the sun is full, it is hot; when the Yin is full, it is cold. Fever is the manifestation of excess Yang Qi, while chills and chills are the symptoms of excess Yin Qi. Cupping in Dazhui can treat febrile diseases, while cupping in Guanyuan can treat cold diseases.
2. Harmonizing the viscera
Cupping therapy can make the acupoints on the surface of the body produce hyperemia, blood stasis and other changes through meridians and local negative pressure suction. The acupoints are connected with the internal viscera through meridians and collaterals, so as to treat various viscera diseases.
3. Dredge channels and collaterals
Cupping therapy stimulates acupoints and meridians on the body surface through its warm mechanical stimulation and negative pressure suction, and acupoints and meridians are closely connected with meridians. Therefore, cupping can dredge channels and collaterals, make Ying Wei harmonious, remove all kinds of pathogenic evil Qi in channels and collaterals, unblock Qi and blood, nourish and dredge channels and joints, so as to treat various diseases.
4. Assist in diagnosis
By observing the changes of body surface after cupping, we can infer the nature, location of the disease and the relationship with viscera.
5. Remove pathogenic factors
Cupping therapy can not only open the acupoints on the surface of the body with negative pressure, but also regulate the function of the viscera and meridians, encourage the healthy qi of the body and help to expel the evil Qi in the body.
6. Two way adjustment
The cupping therapy has a two-way benign regulatory effect under the condition of the same clinical acupoint selection and cupping methods.
