As the saying goes, people have to be middle-aged, soaking goji berries in the thermos cup, with the improvement of people's living standards, the concept of health is getting stronger and stronger.
Nowadays, people have a variety of ways to maintain their health, such as insisting on drinking health tea, health porridge, health dishes, etc. in their diet, or going to professional massage shops to do massage, massage, foot therapy or cupping.
In real life, most people should have had the experience of cupping, after pulling the fire can, there will usually be some deep marks on the back, many people say that the deeper the marks on the back, the more toxins in the body, the heavier the moisture, so is the truth?
01
When cupping, the bruises on the back are toxins discharged? Most people don't understand yet
Cupping is a very old folk remedy, and in some lives, many people usually have multiple dark purple bruise marks on their backs after they have finished unplugging. Most people think that this is the fire tank in the body where the moisture and toxins are sucked out.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding of everyone, on the one hand, it is not toxins and garbage that is sucked out, but congestion, this is because there are some capillaries under the skin, when cupping, the inside of the jar is vacuum, and the capillaries under the skin will be squeezed and ruptured and bleeding.
In addition, the depth of congestion and toxins, the amount of moisture is not much related, but related to the thickness of the skin, if the skin itself is relatively thin, the capillaries are more fragile, relatively speaking, the color of congestion is relatively dark, and if there is more subcutaneous fat, the capillary wall is thicker, and the color of congestion is relatively light.
02
Can cupping cure all diseases?
Although cupping can dredge the meridians, adjust the qi and blood, and balance the yin and yang, not all diseases can be cured, and whether it is moisture invading the body or wind and cold invading the meridians, cupping can only play a certain role in alleviating the effect, and cannot remove the root of the disease.
If you want to achieve the effect of removing moisture from the body by cupping, you must first distinguish whether the moisture in the body is internal or external.
Long-term living in an air-conditioned environment in the summer is easy to cause external wetness, and cupping can play a certain therapeutic effect for this situation.
However, if it is because of eating too many cold drinks, it is easy to cause internal wetness, and the role of cupping at this time is very ineffective.

Cupping treats which diseases work better?
1. Cold
People are prone to headaches and nasal congestion and back pain after suffering from a cold, but just pulling out a few fire cans on the shoulders and back will immediately feel loose and clear-headed.
2. Dysmenorrhea
Cupping has a very obvious effect on cold and wet coagulation and blood stasis, and when dysmenorrhea occurs, cupping can be performed on the ultimate, return, tianshu acupoint and the liver yu and kidney yu acupoints in the abdomen.

What are the precautions for cupping?
1. Pay attention to the position, strength and length of cupping
Slowly place the can from the middle of the back to the sides, from the top to the bottom, and extract the air inside, with the force and time to the extent that the person being cupped can accept. Note here that the place where the jar is placed must be where the meat is thicker. The time of leaving the tank is generally 5 minutes, and if it is too long, it is easy to blister and break the skin.
2. Do not take a bath after cupping
Bathing after cupping can easily cause skin ulceration and inflammation. Especially in the cold shower, it is easy to catch a cold because the pores of the skin are in an open state at this time. The correct bath time is 1 to 2 hours after cupping. Pay attention to keep warm after cupping, and the temperature of the bath water should be slightly higher.
3. Pay attention to keeping it dry when sleeping
After cupping, it is especially important to pay attention to the hygiene and wet and dry condition of the sheets when sleeping. Because the skin is in a very fragile state at this time, if the sheets are not hygienic and dry, it is easy to cause skin allergies.
4. The can print should not be re-plucked before it is consumed
Some people do not completely disappear after cupping, and continue to cup the fire, hoping to cure the disease through this powerful means. In fact, this is wrong.
If the purple red mark at the last cupping part has not completely disappeared, it is not possible to cup the purple seal site continuously, otherwise it will not only not alleviate the pain problem, but also may bring more problems.
05
Which groups of people are not suitable for cupping
1. Pregnant women, menstruating women
Pregnant women if they carry out inappropriate revitalizing words, may cause threatened miscarriage, especially in the abdomen, lumbosacral area is not suitable for cupping, the same is true for menstruating women, if you cupping in these two parts, it may cause excessive menstruation to prolong menstruation.
2. People with skin allergies
Cupping may aggravate the symptoms of allergies, and where there are ulcers in the skin, cupping is not necessary, otherwise it is easy to cause infection, blisters, and aggravate ulcers.
3. Fracture patients
Patients with fractures should not cupp until they have fully healed to avoid affecting fracture alignment and healing. In patients with acute joint sprains, if the ligament has been ruptured, it is not cupping.
