According to traditional Chinese medicine experts, cupping therapy is a traditional external treatment method that can promote blood circulation, regulate meridians, reduce swelling and pain, and dispel rheumatism. Due to its simplicity and convenience, it has become a common method used by people for disease prevention and treatment.
The Sanyinjiao acupoint is located three inches above the inner ankle and is the meeting point of the liver, spleen, and kidney meridians. The liver stores blood, the spleen controls blood, and the kidney stores essence, so "essence and blood originate from the same source".
The kidneys are the foundation of congenital essence, and the spleen is the foundation of acquired essence. Congenital essence relies on acquired nourishment, and acquired essence relies on congenital stimulation.
Therefore, regularly cupping the Sanyinjiao acupoint can regulate the qi and blood of the liver, spleen, and kidney meridians. When the qi and blood of the three meridians are harmonized, the congenital essence is abundant and the acquired qi and blood are sufficient, thus achieving the goal of regulating essence and blood for health and longevity.
