There are many unique physical therapy methods in China, and cupping is one of the most commonly used physical therapy methods. It can relieve pain and dredge the meridians. However, there are many different ways of cupping in clinical practice, such as fire cupping, blood cupping, and vacuum cupping. Today, the editor will focus on introducing cupping. I will tell you the benefits of cupping and also let you know its disadvantages.

The benefits of cupping

1. Bleeding to relieve pain

When cupping, people's skin will be pierced and the blood stasis in the body will be sucked out. This can quickly discharge the toxins and blood stasis in the body. It can dredge blocked meridians, speed up the circulation of qi and blood, and relieve the body from various pain symptoms. Usually, when people have joint pain, sore throat, and migraine, they can use cupping to treat it.

2. Clear away heat and purge fire

Clearing away heat and purging fire is also one of the important benefits of blood infusion. When the heat and toxins in the human body are too heavy, people will experience various symptoms of getting angry, such as sores in the mouth and tongue, swelling and pain in the limbs, irritability and other adverse symptoms. At this time, cupping can also be used for treatment. The hot and toxic gases in the body can be discharged from the body along with the blood stasis, and the adverse symptoms that people experience can be alleviated as soon as possible.

3. Relieve itching

Relieving itching is also an important benefit of cupping. When people's skin becomes itchy and painful, it is a symptom of the residual wind evil in the human blood. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, it is said that to cure wind you must first cure the blood. At this time, cupping can regulate the blood and qi, and make the blood vessels unobstructed. It can also dissipate the wind evil in the body, and can relieve the pain and itching symptoms of the human skin as soon as possible.

Disadvantages of cupping

If it is not done properly, it will cause skin damage, which will easily allow bacteria to invade and cause skin infection. In addition, if people use blood cupping too much, it will easily cause patients to have symptoms of insufficient yang and qi and blood deficiency.
