Traditional Chinese medicine uses a variety of treatment methods; acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage and diet therapy are the most commonly used, and Chinese medicine cupping is also becoming more and more popular. Maybe some of you saw a picture of Gwyneth Paltrow on the red carpet a few years ago, with a halter dress and cupping marks on it? Sometimes a little popular culture is needed to remind us of ancient treatments!
Cupping therapy has been used in China for thousands of years. Initially it was applied with a cross section of horns or bamboo. In order to create a negative pressure inside the horn or bamboo, these ancient cups create a negative pressure inside the cup. The boiled water or fire is ignited to expel air and draw the cup onto the skin. These cups are mainly used to extract pus and blood during the boiling process. Cupping was originally used as an aid to traditional Chinese surgery. It was later found to be useful in the treatment of other diseases and developed into a special treatment.
The earliest cupping record was in from
Boshu from
[An ancient book written on silk] was discovered in the tomb of the Han Dynasty. Several other ancient texts mention the Chinese medicine cupping. A famous medical classic a few centuries later, from
Su Sen Liang Fang from
An effective treatment for chronic cough and successful treatment of snake bites using cupping therapy was documented.
Through thousands of years of accumulated clinical experience, the clinical application of cupping has become increasingly widespread. Chinese medicine cupping is now used to treat arthritis symptoms, asthma, colds, chronic cough, indigestion problems and some skin diseases.
There is a saying in China: "Acupuncture and cupping, more than half of the diseases have been cured." Zhao Xueming, a doctor more than 200 years ago, wrote a book from
Ben Chong Musei from
It details the history and origins of different types of cupping and cupping, function and application.
In mainland China, cupping therapy has developed rapidly. In the 1950s, joint research between Chinese and acupuncturists in the former Soviet Union confirmed the clinical efficiency of cupping and became the official treatment practice for hospitals throughout China.
Today, as more and more people, including Gwyneth, seek alternative treatments to solve their health problems, the use of Chinese medicine, including cupping, is increasing. Most of the cupping equipment and methods used today are identical to those of ancient times. Some electronic or mechanical pumps have been injected and suction cups have been introduced, but to a large extent, most people practicing cupping today still use horns, bamboo or glasses. One reason for cupping technology remains the same as in ancient times, except for competent acupuncturists, cupping is usually practiced in rural areas where there is no or very little modern medicine available.
Cupping can affect the flow of blood. It helps eliminate and eliminate pathogenic factors such as wind, cold, moisture and heat. Cupping also removes blood and opens the pores of the skin, preventing the removal of pathogens through the skin itself.
My first cupping experience was when I caught a cold, and my acupuncturist put the cup on my back. First, my back was wiped with aroma oil, and when I was facing down, the cup was painted. When my skin is pulled up and away from my body, I can feel their edges deep into my body and then warm and warm. Once the cup is firmly placed on my skin, the doctor will move them up and down. [This is called a walking cup.] My back cup makes me rest. Once I got up from the table, I felt a big improvement, the heavy feeling of the chest disappeared, and there was a bright purple suction cup on my back, unlike Gwyneth Paltrow in her photo - after cupping. The purple mark does not hurt or bother me at all. A few days later, they disappeared because of a cold. Cupping relieves my cough and effectively treats the cold.
