We all know that regular cupping helps to move Qi and blood, dredge the meridians, cure diseases and maintain health, which is very beneficial to the body, so how much do you know about cupping and bloodletting? What are the benefits of cupping and bloodletting?
The treatment principle of blood cupping
The main purpose of cupping and bloodletting is to use skin needles to pierce the skin, and after the skin is red and slightly bleeding, then cupping is performed on the pierced area to regulate the function of the internal organs and meridians, so as to harmonize the qi and blood, dredge the meridians, detoxify and relieve the fire, and restore the body to normal, which has a good effect of disease prevention and treatment.
Bloodletting to reduce fever
According to Chinese medicine, there are two types of fever: Yang fever and Yin deficiency fever, and blood cupping is suitable for relieving Yang fever. Cupping and releasing blood can reduce the amount of blood, thus reducing the evil heat in the blood vessels and restoring the body's qi and blood to normal.
Bloodletting for pain relief
According to Chinese medicine, for diseases with internal pain symptoms, the meridians must be occluded and blocked. Using cupping to release blood can bring out the stagnant evil directly from the meridians and adjust the phenomenon of occlusion and congestion. Sore throat, migraine and other conditions can be treated by cupping.
Bloodletting to relieve fire
Internal disturbance of fire and heat can lead to many diseases, resulting in sores on the mouth and tongue, painful swelling of the limbs, irritability, fever, etc. The use of cupping and bloodletting can stop the fire and heat and diarrhea with the blood, which is suitable for the treatment of many heat symptoms.
Bloodletting to relieve swelling and pain
When the body is stagnant due to stagnation of Qi and blood, which leads to stagnation of meridians, it will cause swelling and pain. Using cupping and bloodletting can directly remove the stagnant Qi and blood in the local meridians and restore the smooth flow of meridians, thus achieving the purpose of relieving swelling and pain.
Bloodletting and detoxification
In pathological conditions, the body is unable to resist the poisonous evil due to its own dysfunction, which leads to heat and toxicity in the body, resulting in sores and canker sores. Blood cupping not only discharges the invading poisonous evil with the blood, but also regulates the blood and regulates the qi, restoring the body's function to normal and inhibiting the expansion or recurrence of the disease.
Bloodletting to stop itching
Therefore, cupping and releasing blood can regulate blood and Qi, promote the smooth flow of blood, force the wind and evil to disperse, and achieve the effect of dispelling wind and stopping itching.
What are the disadvantages of cupping and bloodletting?
If cupping and bloodletting is not done properly and disinfection is not complete, it can easily lead to skin breakage, leading to bacterial invasion and infection.
Excessive cupping and bloodletting may lead to deficiency of qi and blood and lack of yang energy, which may affect the blood supply to the heart and brain over time.
