01
What is the effect of cupping? Why do foreigners like cupping?
Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine method with a long history, as early as the Western Han Dynasty Book "Fifty-two Sick Formulas" has been recorded - the horn method, equivalent to the current cupping has the same therapeutic methods and efficacy, in the early ancient Greco-Roman era has also been recorded.
Cupping may bring the following benefits to the human body, as analyzed below:
1. Promote blood circulation
Cupping is mainly through the exhaust caused by the negative pressure in the tank, causing nerve and endocrine reactions, helping to regulate vasodilation and contractile function, promoting the permeability of blood vessels, and helping to strengthen blood circulation.
2. Enhance disease resistance and immunity
The blood clot to the body to produce negative pressure at the same time will make the local tissue rapidly congestion, capillaries rupture, red blood cells are destroyed, hemolytic reaction, red blood cells in the hemoglobin release beneficial to the body hormone substances to produce benign stimulation, through the nervous system for the regulation of various organ tissues.
The phagocytic effect of white blood cells is mentioned to be the highest, and the skin has changes in sensitivity to the outside world and tolerance, enhancing the body's immunity and disease resistance.
On the other hand, the local warm effect of cupping on the body will cause the blood vessels to expand rapidly, increase blood flow, enhance the permeability of the inner walls of the blood vessels and the ability of cells to phagocytosis.
The surface vascular tension at the cupping site and the penetration of the mucous membrane are altered, and the lymphocyte circulation accelerates the phagocytic tissue action, which has a disease-fighting effect on infectious diseases.
3. Promote the discharge of metabolites from the body
Under the action of strong negative pressure, the sweat hair can be rapidly expanded, and when the function of the sebaceous glands of the sweat glands is stimulated, the senescent cells of the cortex on the surface of the skin are first shed, thereby discharging metabolites and waste toxins from the body.

When cupping, the bruises sucked out of the back, or the garbage toxins of the body? Here comes the truth
Cupping is mainly through physical stimulation and negative pressure effect, for the rupture of human capillaries appear congestion, thereby regulating the ability of various organs and tissues and cells to repair, regeneration ability, so that bad cells absorb capacity, fall off in the body, promote blood circulation, stimulate menstruation to help regulate human qi and blood, enhance immunity and resistance.
However, after the cupping, it will leave a black mark on the surface of the human body, which will dissipate in about a week or so, but some people think that these bruises appear in the cupping are toxins discharged by the body.
Experts pointed out that the black marks on the cupping body are not representative of the internal toxins, but only the adsorption of the capillaries inside the skin by external forces, resulting in some ruptures, resulting in congestion.
03
Why is the color of the cupping different for everyone?
Some people after pulling the fire can, the black marks left on the body are not the same, some are red, some people are purple, some people even black purple the reason why there are different colors, mainly because the moisture in the body is different from the length of time of cupping, and the doctor's method will also be different from the color.
