1. Promote the circulation of blood throughout the body
By creating a negative pressure inside the cupping jar, the rim of the jar attaches tightly to the skin surface, pulling on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, and subcutaneous glands. This can cause a series of neurological and endocrine system reactions, regulate vascular contraction and dilation, and improve the overall circulation of blood throughout the body.
2. Eliminate toxins from the body
The strong suction power of cupping can fully open the sweat pores, stimulate the function of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and promote the shedding of aging cells on the skin surface. This accelerates the elimination of toxins and waste from the body.
3. Thermotherapy
When the human body is invaded by external factors such as wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire, or when it is injured by bruises, it can disrupt the normal physiological functions of the organs and cause blood stasis, qi stagnation, phlegm and saliva, food stagnation, turbid water, and pathogenic fire. These pathogenic factors travel through the meridians of the body and accumulate in the acupoints on the meridians, disrupting the circulation of qi and blood and causing stagnation. Cupping can eliminate the six pathogenic factors from the body, promote the flow of qi and blood, activate the meridians, and enhance the permeability of blood vessel walls through its thermotherapy effect.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cupping can dredge the meridians, regulate qi and blood, and balance yin and yang. The meridians have the physiological functions of "transporting qi and blood, nourishing yin and yang, strengthening tendons and bones, and facilitating joints". If the meridians are not clear, qi and blood cannot flow smoothly, leading to various symptoms and skin problems such as weakness, obesity, spots, acne, wrinkles, and dryness. By using cupping to stimulate the skin, pores, meridians, and acupoints, it can guide the distribution of nutrients and energy, activate the flow of qi and blood in the meridians, nourish the organs and tissues, and warm the skin and hair. At the same time, it can invigorate the weakened organ functions, regulate the meridians, and balance the body's yin and yang, thereby adjusting the qi and blood and achieving the goal of improving physical fitness, beauty, and disease prevention.
4. Cupping for weight loss
The suction pressure of cupping on specific areas can dredge the meridians, balance qi and blood, regulate the endocrine system, accelerate blood and lymph circulation, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, improve digestion, increase metabolic rate, heat production, and fat consumption. This can effectively reduce subcutaneous fat and deep-layer fat, achieving safe, healthy, and rapid weight loss.
