By creating local negative pressure in a specific part, the fire pot stimulates the dilatation of blood vessels and accelerates blood circulation, so as to achieve a certain effect. However, some people mistake the fuchsia mark produced by the fire cup** as evidence of the expulsion of "toxins" from the body, but in fact it is mainly due to blood stasis caused by blood vessels rupturing and bleeding into the subcutaneous tissue. To understand this, we need to clarify the definition of "toxin" in modern medicine, which refers to substances that are harmful to the body, not the blood itself.
The role of the cupping ** is to relieve muscle tension and fatigue by promoting blood circulation. It improves local blood flow and helps relieve muscle pain and fatigue. However, this improvement is short-lived, and the effects vary from person to person. It is important to recognise that boosting blood flow does not mean eliminating toxins, but rather providing temporary support for bodily functions.
The fire cupping is a time-honored traditional alternative, which applies negative pressure to a specific area in a specific way to cause vasodilation and accelerated blood circulation. While cupping has some effect on relieving some symptoms, some of these misconceptions deserve to be explored more deeply.
First of all, let's understand the principle of fire cupping**. The fire pot is a negative pressure created by using the fire pot on the surface of the fire pot to stimulate the dilatation of blood vessels and promote the acceleration of blood circulation. This negative pressure can promote local blood circulation and reduce muscle tension and pain. However, some people mistakenly believe that the purplish-red marks formed by bruising are evidence of the removal of toxins from the body. In fact, this bruising is caused by the rupture of blood vessels and the leakage of blood into the subcutaneous tissues. Therefore, we need to clarify the definition of "toxin" in modern medicine, which refers to substances that are harmful to the body, not the blood itself.
Next, let's take a look at what the fire cup** does. The main role of the fire cupping is to relieve muscle tension and fatigue by promoting blood circulation. By creating localized negative pressure, the fire pot can increase blood flow and help relieve muscle pain and fatigue. However, it is important to note that this improvement is short-lived, and the results may vary from person to person. Therefore, we must understand that promoting blood flow is not the same as eliminating toxins, but rather a temporary support for bodily functions.
Huocup** has a long history as a part of traditional Chinese medicine and still has many supporters in modern society. However, its applicability and some common misconceptions require a deeper understanding.
Relieves muscle pain: Tempering the muscles** has some effect on relieving local muscle tension and pain. By promoting local blood circulation, the cupping can alleviate discomfort in the muscles.
Promote blood circulation: The cupping promotes blood flow locally through adsorption, which helps to relieve muscle fatigue and stiffness.
Relieves fatigue: For physical discomfort caused by overexertion, a fire cup** may bring a certain sense of relaxation.
Improve Qi Stagnation and Blood Stasis: In TCM theory, fire cupping helps to improve Qi stagnation and blood stasis and regulate the body.
Detox misconception: Some people believe that a fire cup** can remove "toxins" from the body, but this notion has no scientific basis. The elimination of toxins from the body is done by internal organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Over-reliance: Some people may over-rely on firecups** to alleviate various symptoms, neglecting the importance of finding and addressing the root cause of the problem.
Ignoring individual differences: everyone's physical condition is different, and cupping** is not for everyone. For example, people who bleed easily or who are taking anticoagulant medications should avoid using fire cupping.
Substitute for regular**: The fire cup** is not a substitute for a doctor's diagnosis and**. Professional medical help should be sought for serious health problems.
Although there are certain applicability of fire cupping, there are also some common misunderstandings that we need to pay attention to. Huoju** is suitable for relieving muscle pain, promoting blood circulation, relieving fatigue and improving conditions such as qi stagnation and blood stasis. By stimulating the dilation of blood vessels, the cupping can increase blood flow, which can alleviate discomfort in the body. However, we also need to be aware of the following common misconceptions.
The first is the detox misconception. Some people mistakenly believe that fire cupping** can remove "toxins" from the body, but there is no scientific basis for this belief. Our body has its own detoxification system, including the liver and kidneys, which are able to effectively remove harmful substances from the body.
The second is overdependence. Some people may rely too much on fire cupping** to alleviate various symptoms and ignore the root cause of the problem. Fire cupping is only an auxiliary method, and cannot completely replace formal medical diagnosis and treatment.
The third misconception is to ignore individual differences. Everyone's physical condition is different, and firecup** is not suitable for everyone. For example, people who bleed easily or who are taking anticoagulant medications should avoid using fire cupping.
The last misconception is to replace the regular**. Cupping is an adjunct that may provide some relief for some minor symptoms, but for serious health problems, professional medical help should be sought.
1. Professional guidance: It is best to carry out the fire cup under the guidance of professionals to avoid the risks caused by self-operation.
2. Individual differences: understand the health status of the individual, if there is a special disease, you should consult a doctor in advance to ensure that the fire cup is suitable for you.
3. Avoid sensitive areas: Some sensitive areas such as the face and the inside of the joints should not be cupped**.
4. Inspection: Before using the cup, you should check whether there are wounds, inflammation or other abnormalities to avoid infection or aggravate the existing problems.
5. Time control: The cupping should not be too long, usually no more than 15 minutes for each part, to avoid overstimulation of the first and tissues.
There may be bruising or bruising after the cupping, which will take some time to recover. To speed up recovery, we can do the following self-care:
1. Cold compress: You can use ice packs or cold water towels to cold the cupping area to help reduce bruises and bruises.
3. Avoid irritation: ** after the fire cup, it is more sensitive, avoid using irritating cosmetics or skin care products.
4. Proper massage: Slightly massaging the cupping area helps to promote blood circulation and absorption of congestion.
5. Keep resting: The body may feel tired after the cupping**, and proper rest can help with recovery.
In short, the fire pot is a traditional alternative, suitable for some cases to relieve symptoms, but you need to pay attention to its scope of application and use to avoid some common misunderstandings. In addition, self-care is also required after the cupping to speed up recovery and physical comfort. If you have any discomfort or doubts, you should consult a doctor or professional promptly.
