Please teach me how to cupping and the key points

1. Operation method: first use a clean towel, dip it in hot water to scrub the cupping part clean, then use tweezers to tighten the cotton ball slightly dipped in alcohol, burn the match, use the door fire method, flash into the glass fire cup, and quickly buckle the jar on the **.

2. Retention time: In the past, the retention time was longer, from 10 minutes to more than 30 minutes, this long-term retention of the tank, it is easy to make the local black and purple, serious congestion, and increase the difficulty of absorption, therefore, now the retention time is generally shortened compared with before, according to the superficial capillaries of the body, it is more appropriate to consider changing from 3 minutes to 6 minutes.

3. Pick up the can: press the jar with the left hand, tilt to the left, press the index and middle fingers of the right hand to tilt the muscles of the opponent's can mouth, and press down gently to make the can mouth leak out of the gap, penetrate the air, the suction disappears, and the jar falls off naturally.

4. The size of the firepower: The size of the firepower should also be mastered. There is a lot of alcohol, and the suction and pulling power is large if the firepower is large; There is less alcohol, and if the fire is small, the suction and pulling power is small. There are also jars that knock fast and have great suction; If you knock slowly, you will have less suction. These can be mastered on an ad hoc basis.

1. Tools and raw materials.

bamboo cans, cotton balls, alcohol, lighters;

2. Dip the cotton ball in the prepared alcohol;

3. After the cotton ball is stained with alcohol, use a lighter to burn the cotton ball;

4. Use the lit alcohol cotton ball to go deep into the bamboo pot and rotate the side carving;

5. Quickly draw the cotton ball, and immediately buckle the bamboo can on the selected part of the body.

1. Material selection. First of all, we should pay attention to the selection of materials, Chinese medicine should use bamboo barrels to cupping, if you can't find it, glass bottles, ceramic cups can be, only the mouth must be thick and smooth, in case the mouth of the jar is too thin to hurt the skin and meat, the bottom end is best spacious and semi-circular.

2. Prepare in advance before cupping.

Before cupping, the cupping should be cleaned and wiped, and then the person being cupping should be allowed to lie down comfortably or sit upright, exposing the position of the cupping, and then igniting the cupping.

3. Practical operation during cupping.

When igniting, generally hold the can with one hand, and hold the spy that has lit the fire in the other hand, the actual operation should be fast, the spy of the ** will be withdrawn after shaking a few times in the tank, and the tank will be quickly put to the position to be treated, when the fire is still ignited, it is necessary to cover the mouth of the can tightly in the wound, not to wait for the fire to go out, otherwise it is very loose, and it is not conducive to sucking out the moisture in the body. Be careful not to boil the rim of the can to prevent burns.

4. Time. Generally, the can can be taken out in 15 to 20 minutes, and there is no need to force the can to be pulled, not to pull and rotate, the key point of posture is to tilt the can to one side with one hand, and press the ** with the other hand, so that the gas enters the pot through the gap, and the clay pot will of course be loosened with **.

5. The wrong concept of cupping.

If you don't pull it out twice at a time, and if you pull it out repeatedly on the same part, you don't believe that this jar has no practical effect. There is a very large kind of disease in the world, but I am afraid of the confidence of people with hearts, in fact, it is not good to do that. In the case of cupping, you can even pluck the whole body, because it can heal in all directions and improve the best effect.

But if you pull it out repeatedly in one area, then you will lose a lot because of a small one.

Fire cupping, also known as cupping, is a kind of folk ** that is widely spread and has a long history in China. This is to borrow the suction power of the cup and jar to adsorb it on the acupuncture points of the human body or a painful part, causing **redness, purple and redness to achieve the purpose. Cupping can generally be applied on its own at home, but experts remind families to pay attention to the method when cupping.

Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine external treatment method, which can be used to activate qi and blood, soothe meridians and activate the meridians, reduce swelling and relieve pain, and remove rheumatism, because the operation is simple and easy, it has become a commonly used method of disease prevention and treatment among the people, and is often used for low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, rheumatic pain, stiff neck, cold, indigestion, insomnia, menopausal syndrome and some ** diseases.

Cupping is divided into three kinds: flash cupping, walking cupping, and keeping cupping, the first two are more professional, and the general home cupping method is used to keep the cupping. Cupping generally uses tweezers to clip a small ball of cotton balls, dip them in an appropriate amount of alcohol, the mouth of the can is obliquely down, light the cotton ball, stretch into the bottom of the tank and pull it out after 1-3 turns, and quickly pull it out.

Be careful not to let the burning cotton ball touch the mouth of the can to avoid burns**. It is best to use a vacuum pot for cupping at home, which is easy to operate and will not cause burns.

When cupping at home, the mouth of the can should be smooth and undamaged, and not too thin to prevent cuts**. At the same time, the following problems should be paid attention to in the process of operation: choose the appropriate cans according to the area of the plucked parts, such as the wide and muscular back and thighs, you can use medium and large cans, and the calves, arms and neck and shoulders are suitable for small cans.

The retention time depends on the condition and location. Generally, leave the tank for 10-15 minutes, and the large pot has strong suction and pulling force, which can shorten the time appropriately, otherwise it may bubble. If the blistering is relatively small, it does not need special treatment and will generally subside on its own; When the foaming is large, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment, first local disinfection, and then puncture with a sterilized needle and apply sterilized gauze.

Don't pull it down when you start the cupping, hold the pot with one hand and press the ** next to it with the other hand, let the air go in, and the jar will naturally come down, and the purple spots on the ** after cupping can generally disappear in two weeks. Cupping is not advisable when overfed or hungry. Cupping is prohibited in areas with allergies, edema or ulcers, as well as in the lumbosacral region and abdomen of pregnant women.

Cupping at home can only play an auxiliary role, and it is best to go to the hospital if the condition is more serious, so as not to delay the opportunity. Director Zhao introduced several methods of common diseases in home cupping.

Low back pain: cupping at the sore area of the lower back and at the Weizhong acupoint (the middle of the leg bend), 10-15 minutes, once a day.

Frozen shoulder: cupping in the area of shoulder pain for 10-15 minutes, 1 time a day.

Stiff neck: On the neck and back of the affected side, look for tender points and cupping for about 10 minutes.
