What's the matter with blisters after cupping

In traditional Chinese medicine, cupping is the process of forcing toxins out of the body through a physical way in vitro. The essence of cupping out blisters is to 'fill water' under the skin. The pathological products such as phlegm, drink, water and dampness in the body and water enter and stay in the skin through the subcutaneous tissue under the effect of negative pressure, thus forming blisters.

After cupping, in addition to bleeding spots and blood stasis, some patients will have blisters, mainly due to the following reasons:

1. The dampness and cold in the body of the patients were more toxic, especially the dampness. Blistering is also a manifestation of evil spirit going out. Sometimes small water drops appear on the wall of the pot, which is also the expression of dampness.

2. It's a little long to keep cans. This is different from person to person, and also related to physical fitness. If someone leaves the can for 20-30 minutes, there will be no bubble. Some people bubble in 5-10 minutes. So generally, the first cupping time needs to be shorter. When you understand the patient's situation, you can appropriately relax the time.

3. The temperature of the pot is high, which is only a small possibility. Sometimes it is used as flash tank. If the tank body temperature is too high, it will increase the possibility of foaming if the tank is left.

4. Different parts, the same person cupping, some parts no problem, some parts blister. The general rule is that the back, two flanks and buttocks are easy to blister.

5. Cupping is too heavy to bear.

The size and number of blisters to a large extent reflect the situation of phlegm and water in the body. If the number of blisters is more obvious, white, and the temperature of the surrounding skin is not high, it is cold damp syndrome; if the number of blisters is less, the color is yellowish, or turbid, and the temperature of the surrounding skin is higher, it is damp heat syndrome.
