Benefits of Cupping
By creating suction and negative pressure, cupping has
been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, which is used
to treat muscle pain and spasms, drain excess fluids and toxins, loosen
adhesions, connective tissue and stubborn knots in soft tissue, stimulate blood
circulation and bring blood flow to nourish stagnant muscles and skin, enhance
the flow of energy, stimulate the peripheral nervous system, activate the
lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the arteries,
veins, and capillaries, and improve varicose veins.
Massage Cupping
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the flow of
qi (energy) travels throughout the body in channels called "Meridians".
Meridians are the conduits in the body through which energy flows to every part
of the body and through every organ and tissue. Illness is caused when qi is
blocked at certain points or it does not move properly in the body. When
Meridians are opened, invigorating energy is traveling the whole length of the
body.
Combining the moving cupping and the theory of
meridians, massage cupping therapy has been further developed as a means to open
the Meridians of the body. The stagnated, weak, or out of balanced qi can be
dispersed or moved by exerting suction and pressure of massage cupping. Massage
cupping can also be used when qi needs to be drawn to the surface of the body
from deep within to nourish muscles and skin.
The massage cupping therapy has the advantages of both
cupping and deep massage therapies. In spite of causing local congestion and
blood stasis temporarily, massage cupping is not an irritant to the skin or
body.
Precautions
Since cupping is a safe and non-invasive technique,
there are very few conditions in which cupping should not be used, such as high
fever, skin disease, tendency to bleed easily, or to the abdominal and sacral
regions of the pregnant women.
Side effects of Cupping
Cupping can cause blood and toxins to be drawn to the surface of the
skin, which can cause non permanent red marks, swelling, and bruising at the
local area for 2- 4 days.
Side effects of Massage Cupping
With the special skills on the massage cupping
applying, most patients have lighter and fewer side effects; usually the red
marks will disappear within one day. 90% of patients can be applied with
this therapy everyday if they really want to, while 85% of the patients feel the
invigorating energy traveling the whole length of the body for a couple of days.
