Cupping refers to the use of can-like instruments, with the help of fuel force, discharge the air in the tank, so that it forms negative pressure, adsorption on the skin acupoint effect, it has a flash can, kneading can, walking can, shaking can, can and other treatment techniques。

For patients in the massage department, it is mainly suitable for wind-cold shoulder and back pain, waist and leg pain, limb numbness, etc. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the massage department is lined up at the door of the cupping room, waiting for treatment, and hundreds of patients' cupping treatment will be completed every afternoon。Of course, it can also be used for external wind and cold headache, vomiting, diarrhea, cold cough asthma, incipient sore, etc., everyone is easy to accept, high compliance, and very satisfied with the effect。

I think you may be more concerned about the different color of the pot after cupping represents what?Highlight!Pick up your little bench, sit back, and carefully read the following "notes"。

What the different pot prints represent

1.Pot seal is dark and dark: generally indicates that the body has blood stasis, such as dysmenorrhea or insufficient blood supply to the heart, and the affected part is cold and heavy。If the imprinting does not return for a few days, it usually means that the course of the disease has been a long time, and it takes a longer time to adjust, such as when a large area of black and purple prints appear when walking the tank, indicating that the wind cold is committed by a large area, and the cold should be mainly symptomatic。

2.Pot print purple accompanied by plaque, generally indicating local cold coagulation blood stasis。

3.Pot marks are scattered purple spots, varying in depth, generally indicating the disease of qi stagnation and blood stasis。

4.Lilac accompanied by plaque, generally suggested that the main deficiency, with blood stasis。If the spots are obvious at the acupoints, it indicates that the related internal weakness, such as at the Shenshu point, suggests kidney deficiency。

5.Pot printing is bright red and bright, generally indicating Yin deficiency or qi Yin deficiency, Yin deficiency fire will also appear。

6.The pot print is bright red scattered in the spot, usually appears after a large area of the pot, not higher than the skin, if it is concentrated in a certain point and its vicinity, it indicates that the viscera related to this point is abnormal or there is disease。

7.After leaving the pot or leaving the cupping, there is no pot mark (or not obvious), or although there is, it disappears immediately after opening the pot and returns to normal color, indicating that the body is basically normal or the illness is mild。

8.Walking the tank or leaving the tank, easy to blister, indicating that moisture is heavier, if there are more small blisters in the affected part, indicating that the water is caused by moisture, will have ideal curative effect, the need for continuous cupping。

9.If there is a wind cluster (such as acute measles) when walking the tank, it is suggested that it is caused by wind evil, or allergic constitution。

10.With the improvement of the condition, the pot printing will also be reduced, and it is not easy to spot the pot printing, which can be prevented。

After understanding the pot printing knowledge, I think for this safe, no side effects of treatment, many people may not know what to pay attention to。

What are the precautions

First, take a shower after cupping

Many people like to take a bath after pulling the cupping, thinking that it is very comfortable, in fact, it is very incorrect。Because bathing at this time is easy to cause skin collapse and inflammation。Especially taking a cold shower, because the pores of the skin are open at this time, it is easy to catch a cold。

Suggestion: The correct bath time is 4 hours after cupping。Keep warm after cupping, and the temperature of the bath water should be slightly higher。

Two, the longer the better

Many people think that the longer the cupping time, the better the effect will be, and even think that it is necessary to pull out the blister to reflect the effect of cupping, in fact, this is also wrong。Because cupping time is too long, there may be blisters, which not only hurt the skin, but also may cause skin infections。

Suggestion: The correct cupping time should be 5 minutes to 10 minutes。If it is an elderly person or a child who is not well, the time should be halved。

Three, these people are not suitable

Women during menstruation, pregnant women should not be cupping at the lumbosacral bottom, there are high fever convulsions, bleeding diseases, skin allergies and sore spots, edema and large blood vessels, do not apply cupping。
