Cupping to unblock the internal organs of Qi and blood

Chen Lei introduced, cupping therapy ancient name "corner method", is a tool to cupping, with the help of heat to remove the air to generate negative pressure, so that suction on the skin, causing blood stasis phenomenon of a therapy. The negative pressure of cupping causes rapid local congestion and stasis of blood, and even rupture of small capillaries and destruction of red blood cells, resulting in hemolysis. The release of hemoglobin from red blood cells is a benign stimulus to the body, which can regulate the functions of tissues and organs in both directions through the nervous system, while promoting the phagocytosis of leukocytes and improving the sensitivity and tolerance of the skin to external changes, thus enhancing the immunity of the body. The common clinical site for cupping is the bladder meridian on the back of the body, which corresponds to the reflex zones of the five viscera and six internal organs, and therefore has a wide therapeutic range. As long as the minor ailments appear on the body, and then find the right point, you can unblock the qi and blood of the corresponding internal organs to achieve the role of health care and disease prevention.

Cold and autumn fatigue can be cured

In life, many people's understanding of cupping therapy is still at the level of "dispel dampness", to which Chen Lei said, "ancient doctors in the treatment of abscesses, often use it to draw blood and drain pus. Later, the scope of treatment was expanded to include consumption, rheumatism and other internal diseases. After the founding of New China, due to the continuous improvement of methods, so that cupping therapy has a new development, further expanding the scope of treatment. To early autumn common diseases, for example, 'autumn fatigue', colds and diarrhea, constipation and other gastrointestinal diseases can also be treated with cupping therapy."

Autumn fatigue

After the end of the summer, the temperature difference between morning and evening increases, and the autumn is high, but the body will experience various discomforts, some symptoms latent in the summer will appear, and the body also produces an inexplicable feeling of exhaustion, such as many people wake up early in the morning and want to sleep again, this condition is "autumn fatigue". When "autumn fatigue" does not go away, you may want to try the lung points (usually taken in a prone position, the points are located on the back of the body, under the spine of the third thoracic vertebrae, next to two fingers wide), spleen points (located under the spine of the eleventh thoracic vertebrae, next to two fingers wide), kidney points (located in the waist, under the spine of the second lumbar vertebrae, next to (located in the lumbar region of the body, under the second lumbar vertebrae spine, next to two fingers wide) and other parts of the body to do "walking jar" or "flashing jar" technique. But the above techniques need to be performed by professionals, the elderly should not operate at home indiscriminately.

Cold

With the abnormal climate change in autumn, the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract is constantly stimulated by the initial warmth and cold, and the resistance is weakened, giving pathogenic microorganisms an opportunity to take advantage of the high incidence of colds and other upper respiratory tract infections. Especially when the environment is not well ventilated, colds are easily spread rapidly from person to person, and the elderly and children are susceptible to colds in autumn. In the early stage of the cold, cupping therapy can be performed on acupuncture points such as the large vertebrae point (sit with your head down, the point is located at the lower end of the neck, in the depression under the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra), the lung point and the Fengmen point (the Fengmen point is located in the center of the back, between the second and third thoracic vertebrae, next to the two-finger width).

Gastrointestinal discomfort

At the beginning of autumn, many elderly people start to take various kinds of supplements to ensure that they have good "autumn fat" before the onset of winter. But the elderly are already poor digestive function, if they eat too much tonic, the gastrointestinal tract will not be able to cope with the load, bloating, diarrhea or constipation and other discomfort. At this time, cupping can be done on the Spleen, Stomach (located on the back, under the twelfth thoracic vertebrae spine, two fingers wide), Large Intestine (located on the waist, under the fourth lumbar vertebrae spine, two fingers wide) and Tianshu (2 inches wide next to the umbilicus) points.

Do not leave the cupping for too long

Chen Lei reminded that there are many precautions for cupping, especially for the elderly with diabetes, the "retention" time should not be too long. The average person's cupping time is about 10 minutes, but for sugar addicts, 5 minutes is enough to avoid skin damage. In the cupping, the same warmth measures should be done, on a good can, immediately after covering the exposed parts with a towel. However, elderly people with unstable blood pressure or low blood sugar should not cupping. Finally, if you are not familiar with the cupping technique, you should not cupping on your own.
