Three mechanisms of cupping:
First, the role of machinery.
The negative pressure in the tank is caused by exhaust. The edge of the tank can cling to the skin surface, pulling nerves, muscles, blood vessels and subcutaneous glands, which can cause a series of neuroendocrine reactions, adjust the vasomotor function and vascular permeability, and thus improve local blood circulation.
Second, the negative pressure effect.
The negative pressure of cupping makes local congestion and congestion rapidly, even small capillaries rupture, red blood cells are destroyed and hemolysis occurs. The release of red blood cells is a benign * * effect on the body, which can regulate the functions of tissues and organs in two directions through the nervous system, promote the phagocytosis of white blood cells, improve the sensitivity and tolerance of the skin to external changes, and thus enhance the immunity of the body. Secondly, the strong suction of negative pressure can fully open pores, strengthen the functions of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and make the aged cells on the skin surface fall off, thus accelerating the discharge of toxins and wastes in the body.
Third, the warming effect.
The local warming effect of cupping not only increases blood vessel dilation and blood flow, but also enhances the permeability of blood vessel wall and phagocytosis of cells. The changes of vascular tension and mucosal permeability, accelerated lymphatic circulation and enhanced phagocytosis during cupping undoubtedly formed a good environment against biological causes for infectious diseases. In addition, chronic hemolysis also affects the human body.
Generally can be summarized as the following two aspects:
First, promote blood circulation.
The human body meridians belong to the internal organs and external limbs, criss-crossing all over the body, connecting the internal and external organs and limbs of the human body into an organic whole, with the functions of running qi and blood, communicating with the internal and external organs, up and down, and regulating the activities of the internal organs. When the meridian qi and blood function is out of balance, various pathological changes will occur. Through the negative pressure suction of meridian points, it can play the role of promoting qi and blood circulation, encouraging meridian qi and blood, nourishing viscera and warming fur when the qi and blood of viscera and meridians are stagnant or deficient; At the same time, it can replenish the weak viscera function and improve its function.
Righteousness strengthens the power of exorcism, and makes the meridian qi and blood return to normal and disappear. Cupping, moving cupping and pricking collaterals commonly used in clinic have obvious above-mentioned effects.
It is an independent treatment method based on the theory of yin-yang and five elements and the theory of viscera and meridians. By pressing the cylinder edge, sucking negative pressure, scraping and ironing the skin, pulling and squeezing superficial muscles, and sensing meridian points along the meridians from the outside to the inside, the purposes of dredging meridians, regulating qi and blood, balancing yin and yang, eliminating diseases and strengthening the body can be achieved.
Second, two-way adjustment, the same treatment of different diseases.
Cupping therapy has the function of two-way adjustment and unique curative effect. It can treat many diseases under the condition of selecting points and keeping the operation unchanged. For example, pricking blood and cupping at Dazhui point can not only treat wind-heat cold, but also be used for internal injury and fever; It can be used not only in internal medicine such as headache, but also in dermatology such as intractable urticaria and acne.
In a word, cupping therapy can achieve the purpose of dredging meridians, promoting qi and blood circulation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain, harmonizing yin and yang, clearing away heat and toxic materials, and eliminating cold and dampness according to the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the theory of meridians and acupoints and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
This paper introduces the efficacy and mechanism of cupping. If you need to know more about cupping, please pay attention to the channel. I believe you can learn more cupping methods and skills.
