Nowadays, the broad and profound traditional Chinese medicine has become more and more trusted treatment, and among them, cupping is a common method of treating diseases regardless of age and group.
Ordinary people will be sucked out of the bruise after cupping, that is, the naked eye can see patches of color different from the skin color.
For this phenomenon, many people explain that it is a toxin in the body, so is this really the case?
First, the operation principle of cupping
Cupping pots mostly use clay pots, glass jars, extraction tanks or bamboo pipes as healing vessels.
In terms of specific operations, it is roughly to dip cotton balls in alcohol and burn them on fire, and then put them into these utensils and finally attach to human skin.
And its principle is to help the human body achieve the purpose of dispelling dampness, unclogging meridians, reducing swelling and relieving pain through the contrast between positive and negative pressure.
As the introduction says, cupping is universal. Except for children before the age of four who cannot withstand the fire pot because their immunity is weak, other age groups can enjoy the benefits of cupping as long as they are reasonable cupping.
Second, is the bruising after cupping a toxin?
It's no secret that all medical treatments are not flawless, and cupping is the same thing. Although cupping has a variety of effects, congestion after cupping is a problem that all people face.
After all, cupping is to use fire to achieve the purpose of righteousness and eliminate evil, how can there be no trauma when the fire is directly in contact with human skin?
In the human body, capillaries are the most widely distributed and numerous, and as its name suggests, capillaries are very thin, consisting of only a layer of endothelial cells and a very thin layer of connective tissue.
This characteristic also determines that capillaries are very fragile, as long as they are too large to stimulate capillaries at any time at risk of rupture.
The visible imprint after the bruise formed by cupping is the result of capillary rupture.
So does this congestion mean that the human body contains toxins, or other harmful substances? Here's a question and answer to everyone, the answer is completely no.
In terms of body structure. Everyone is unique, and so is the natural physical condition. Some people are born with thick skin, some people are born with thin skin, some people have naturally thick blood vessels, and some people have naturally thin blood vessels.
Coupled with the strength and time difference during cupping, the capillaries will be damaged to some extent, and naturally produce different shades of congestion.
Then, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, congestion is not a toxin in the body, but a natural manifestation of cold, moisture, and fire in the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all human diseases are caused by the inability to coordinate yin and yang, so it is very important to focus on qi, blood and essence. Among them, the saying of good and evil qi slowly evolved.
Evil qi alone is a gas that causes harm to the human body in any uncomfortable environment, for example, falling pillow is the result of evil qi or evil wind entering the human body.
Applying this truth to cupping, bruising is that the human body is careless because of various carelessness, let cold, fire, moisture into the human body, through the fire this more stimulating treatment method can force these evil qi away, which produces the imprint.
At the same time, according to different bruising colors, different physical problems can also be analyzed.
Third, the unique role of congestion after cupping
And this reflects 14 types of physical problems. Of course, this article only talks about some common congestion situations.
First, if the mark formed after cupping is very bright red, it can reflect the physical condition of the person with both qi and yin deficiency or yin deficiency.
Second, if the mark after cupping is purple-black and very dull, it also represents two undesirable physical conditions. Either the meridians are not smooth or the efficiency of the heart is limited, or it is affected by the cold.
Third, some people's marks are not obvious or can quickly return to their previous skin color after cupping, which means that the person's body has fewer diseases.
Fourth, some people will produce blisters when they appear imprinted after cupping. If it is transparent and colorless, it is most likely due to the damage to the skin caused by too much force during cupping, but if this cause is excluded, it means that the moisture is heavy. In addition, if blood appears in the blister, it proves that the person is too hot in addition to heavy moisture.
The remaining conditions are relatively rare and will not be repeated here.
All in all, the different colors of congestion reflect different physical problems, and only by grasping the situation of different congestion can the body be adjusted to the best state.
Fourth, you don't know about the other effects of cupping
In many people's minds, cupping seems to only dispel wind and cold, treat mild headaches and brain fever, so the mark of cupping generally appears on the back and neck.
In fact, this obviously underestimates the efficacy of cupping. As long as the fire pot is applied to different acupuncture points in the human body, many diseases can be treated. Of course, because of the professional knowledge involved, you can only go to a specialized TCM clinic for treatment.
The human body has a respiratory system, digestive system, circulatory system, motor system, nervous system and other systems, so as long as you find the right acupuncture points, you can improve the diseases of the human system.
For example, the respiratory system can treat chronic or acute bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia and so on. As long as the position of the fire pot is placed in the position of the big pole, damper, lung Yu, window and so on, the acupuncture points corresponding to the acute or chronic enteritis of the digestive system are Spleen Yu, Stomach Yu, Large Intestine Yu, Tianshu, and in terms of the circulatory system, it can treat high blood pressure, irregular heart rate, insufficient blood supply to the body problems.
In addition, the fire pot can also treat gynecological diseases. For example, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, vaginal discharge, pelvic inflammatory disease and other diseases can be cured.
However, it should be noted that the treatment principle of Chinese medicine is to match different drugs according to different physical conditions, and through the strengthening of various organs, the human body system heals itself, so the healing time is relatively long, and the effect is not as fast as Western medicine.
Therefore, if you want the body to recover as soon as possible, it is recommended to take Western medicine.
epilogue
As a unique treatment method in mainland China, traditional Chinese medicine has been recognized by more and more people in innovative ways under the unique ideological system, especially in modern times, traditional Chinese medicine is not only a health preservation method for middle-aged and elderly people, but also a popular health preservation object for young people.
In this article, we mainly discuss one of the branches of Chinese medicine - cupping. It is clear that the congestion formed after cupping, whether it is due to capillary rupture or because of the various evil qi reactions mentioned in Chinese medicine, has nothing to do with toxins on human skin.
Finally, he talked about that as long as the acupuncture point is accurately found, cupping can alleviate many physical diseases, as long as it persists, it is very likely to be cured.
Of course, you should not blindly pull out cupping just because it has so many effects. There are many things to pay attention to about cupping, such as not taking a bath immediately after cupping, cupping time is generally not more than ten minutes, the same position can not be repeatedly plucked, and so on.
In a word, cupping has many benefits, as long as it is applied scientifically, it will make the body healthier.
