Cupping is helpful for relief from muscle spasms, back
pain, as well as arthritic and rheumatic problems. While
stimulating the skin and underlying muscles, it promotes
the release of toxins that have accumulated in the area
and increases circulation of blood and lymph vessels.
Cupping also stimulates the organ-related reflex zones
in the skin to further improve the function of inner organs,
including the stomach, liver, kidneys and intestines.
Cupping can also increase immunity in a particular area
since the suction causes the release of a histamine-like
substance in the skin which stimulates immune system response.
Detoxify with Suction Cupping
Other detoxification therapies are often used in conjunction
to enhance the eliminatory action of cupping. Other therapies
combined with cupping can be used to treat chronic pain
and discomfort more successfully, even where other therapies
have failed. There are very few conditions in which cupping
should not be used, such as high fever, skin disease,
or if the person tends to bleed easily.
With fire cupping, a vacuum is created by air (heated
by fire) in a glass cup placed flush against the patient’s
skin. As the air cools in the cup, a vacuum forms that
pulls up on the skin, stimulating the acupressure effect.
This type of therapy is used in the treatment of respiratory
diseases such as the common cold, pneumonia, and bronchitis.
It can also be used to treat back, neck, shoulder and
other musculoskeletal pain. Cupping may feel uncomfortable,
but the patient will not feel pain.
Unblock your Qi with Suction Cupping
Cupping is widely used by Chinese medicine practitioners
to treat colds, lung infections, and problems in the internal
organs. Cupping can be used on people for whom the injection
of acupuncture needles poses a problem or risk. Chinese
medicine practitioners begin treatment by diagnosing a
patient through interviews, examination of the pulse,
tongue, and other parts of the body.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) strives to balance
and improve the flow of qi, or life energy, which travels
throughout the body in channels called meridians. Illness
is caused when qi does not move properly in the body.
Acupuncturists use cupping for specific problems in the
flow of qi. Cupping disperses and moves qi by exerting
suction and pressure.
Suction Cupping is used when the qi is blocked at certain
points, or when qi needs to be drawn to the surface of
the body from deep within. For example, cupping is used
to treat colds and lung infections because it is believed
that suction disperses and energizes the qi that has become
blocked and trapped in the lungs. Cupping can also pull
out “wind-cold” that in Chinese medicine is
believed to cause lung infections.
In today’s world, suction cupping is becoming a
very popular and effective therapy used by both Western
and Eastern health care professionals to treat a wide
range of problems such as the common cold, chronic pain,
and internal organ problems.
