Based on cupping therapy, to enhance the suction effect, raise the cup body and then restore it to its original position, repeatedly raise it up and pull the skin. Raising the cup moves the skin up and down, causing oscillation in the corresponding internal organs, enhancing peristalsis, and promoting blood circulation. This technique is commonly used for abdominal disorders such as stomach pain, abdominal pain and diarrhea, pediatric food stasis, and menstrual pain in women, with good results. It can also treat conditions such as liver depression causing discomfort and fullness in the epigastric region.
Specific steps: Start by sitting with the cup, then slowly raise the cup body, using enough force to avoid detaching the cup. Pause for a moment after raising it and then relax. Repeat the raising motion 30-40 times or more each time.
Note: When raising the cup, the patient may experience varying degrees of pain, generally speaking, the more severe the symptoms, the stronger the pain sensation, which is normal. After treatment, there will be a feeling of relaxation and comfort, with relief from symptoms.
