How much do you know about the effects of cupping?

As people's awareness of health preservation continues to improve, more and more health preservation methods have begun to appear in people's field of vision. Cupping is one of them, and it is said to have significant health care effects. So what are the specific effects of cupping?

1. Promote blood circulation throughout the body

By exhausting air to create negative pressure inside the cup, the edge of the cup can adhere tightly to the skin surface, pulling the nerves, muscles, blood vessels and subcutaneous glands, which can cause a series of nervous and endocrine system reactions, regulate vasoconstriction and permeability of blood vessel walls, and thus improve blood circulation throughout the body.

2. Eliminate toxins from the body

The powerful suction force of the negative pressure of cupping can fully open the sweat pores, stimulate and enhance the functions of the sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and cause aging cells on the surface of the skin to fall off, thereby accelerating the discharge of toxins and waste from the body.

3. Warming effect

When the human body is invaded or injured by external factors such as wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire (the six evil spirits), the normal physiological functions of the internal organs will be disrupted, resulting in blood stasis, qi stagnation, phlegm, food stagnation, turbid water, and evil fire. These pathogenic factors travel throughout the body through the human meridians and fill the acupuncture points on the meridians, disrupting the circulation of qi and blood and causing them to stagnate. Cupping can eliminate the six evil spirits in the human body, ventilate and promote blood circulation, relax the meridians and activate the collaterals. Its warming effect can dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow, and enhance the permeability of blood vessel walls.

4. Weight loss effect

The suction and pulling of local parts by the internal pressure of the cupping can dredge the meridians, balance Qi and blood, adjust the endocrine system, accelerate the circulation of blood and lymph, promote gastrointestinal motility, thereby improving digestive function, speeding up the body's metabolism, increasing heat production and fat consumption, and reducing both surface fat and deep body fat, thereby achieving the goal of safe, healthy and rapid weight loss.
