Is the blood stasis on the back of cupping a toxin in the body? Hear what the experts have to say.

Many people may think that the bruises left by cupping are the toxins discharged from the body, but relevant experts came out to deny the rumors.

In fact, people's understanding is completely wrong. The reason for the red congestion left on the back after a meal is that the capillaries in the back are broken, and the negative pressure in the tank is relatively large, which causes the blood vessels to rupture and become congested.

For those with thin stratum corneum, fair complexion, and fragile capillaries, a little cupping will cause a large amount of congestion on the back and a small amount of blood oozing out. For those with thick stratum corneum, dark skin, and elasticity, even if cupping a few times, congestion will form on the back. Still not big.

Congestion in the back of cupping is a toxin that is excreted by the body. This claim is a complete rumor. Although cupping can reduce the burden and pressure of the body, but also pay attention to the methods and methods. When cupping, be sure to go to a regular Chinese medicine physiotherapy shop, and never choose a Sanwu black heart shop without a business license, so as not to affect your health and damage your blood vessels.

What do the different colors of congestion represent?

Congestion and redness: Congestion and redness on the back is a normal manifestation of broken capillaries, which means that the blood is running smoothly and the yang energy is strong.

Congestion and blackening: The back is congested and blackened after the fire, indicating that the blood stasis in the body is serious, which is the color of blood stasis. Cupping several times, this symptom can be gradually relieved.

Congested and purple: If you find congested and purple after cupping, don’t worry too much. This is a normal physiological response to the formation of blood stasis. No need for over treatment, just wait for 3~5 days. This symptom can resolve on its own.

Cupping need to pay attention to what?

1. Not everyone can do cupping

Although cupping can get many benefits, the body can be adjusted correctly, and the water and harmful substances produced can be discharged, but not everyone is suitable for cupping and needs to meet their own conditions. If there are skin health problems, blind cupping will irritate the skin, aggravate the damage, and make it more difficult to improve the original disease.

It is necessary to ensure that the skin is intact and free from trauma or infectious skin diseases. Through cupping, it can be adjusted to promote local blood circulation and reduce the excretion of harmful substances and water produced by the body.

2. Need to choose the right part

Cupping is not allowed on any part of the body, generally choose the most suitable back. Some people don't pay attention to this problem and think that which part is uncomfortable can be cupping, but they don't know that cupping will hurt many sensitive parts, especially the head.

There are many important tissues, blood vessels, and nerves in the human head, which are complexly distributed. If we do it blindly, it will affect the health of the body. Therefore, if you want to use cupping to adjust your body, you must use common sense to choose the right part in order to benefit from it.

3. Cannot be repeated in a short time

Although cupping can help the body to a certain extent, it can dredge the meridians, accelerate blood circulation, and relieve physical fatigue, but because of the marks after cupping, it will remain on the skin surface for a period of time, and the length of time varies from person to person.

Therefore, many people do not fully resolve when cupping. This approach is incorrect. Repeated stimulation of the same area can also have a certain effect on the skin of the body. Therefore, it is recommended not to repeat cupping in a short period of time.

4. Don’t take a shower right away

Cupping is the process of removing cold and moist air from the body. Bathing is not recommended within 24 hours after cupping. After cupping, the pores of the body are extremely open. At this time, taking a bath can easily lead to a large amount of cold water invading the body, damaging the health of the skin and making the body cold.

5. Keep warm

Whether it is the cupping process or after the cupping, it is necessary to do a good job of keeping warm to avoid long-term exposure to cold air, to avoid cold invasion, and pores to affect health.

6. Pay attention to the time of cupping

Be sure to control the time when pulling out the hot pot. Pulling out the hot pot for a long time will cause great irritation and damage to human skin. Under normal circumstances, the time for 4 hot pots can be controlled within 30 minutes, and not more than 40 minutes, so as not to burn the skin and cause skin inflammation due to rupture of blood vessels.
