What are the tonic and laxative cupping in cupping? How should they be distinguished?

Usually, when cupping outside, the back is always full of cupping, that is mainly to introduce qi and blood into the bladder meridian, to play the role of diuretic detoxification. However, this is not good for those who are weak in qi and blood. The best benefit of cupping is its ability to draw blood.

When to cupping? Usually our shoulder is very painful, with gua sha method, as long as a gua sha symptoms immediately reduce; but sometimes scrape half a day also not gua sha, shoulder pain remains, why is this? There are two main reasons: one is the lesion point is very deep, gua sha method can not reach; two is not enough qi and blood, the body's qi and blood did not top over, blood stasis is difficult to come out. This time with cupping method can be immediately effective. Focal points deep, if a pluck soon appeared black and purple marks, that the deep blood stasis was pulled out; if still cans under no trace, then we must be patient in this plucking a few days, 10 minutes a day, until there is a black mark.

Cupping can be either tonic or draining. Complementary, that is, the number of cans to be less, to attract the gas to focus on a place. If you want to tonify the kidneys, just cupping in the kidney point; stomach, in the epigastric and foot cupping. If too many places to pull instead of the blood will be dispersed, can not achieve the effect of complementary, will be in vain to drain the blood.

Usually, when cupping outside, the back is always full of cupping, that is mainly to introduce qi and blood into the bladder meridian, to play the role of diuretic detoxification. But this is not good for people who are weak in qi and blood. So cupping is also very careful, not reckless.

The best thing about cupping is its ability to draw blood. I remember a patient, the knee below the foot near the three miles there is a two-inch diameter ulcer point for a long time does not heal, the use of a variety of anti-inflammatory drugs, but also the application of traditional Chinese medicine, such as myosan, are not effective. Later, I let the patient every day in the abdomen in the epigastric point plucking a can, at the same time in the affected side of the thigh gastric meridian from the thighs off → Fuhui → yinshi → Liangqiu → calf's nose, all the way down, 5 cans at the same time on the plucking, plucking for 4 days, 5 minutes a day, and then use the muscle san, a paste and healing. Why? By cupping the good blood down, the damage is naturally repaired.

In real life, fire cupping is a not uncommon health therapy, its efficacy is mainly for the removal of dampness, swelling and pain and cold, but many people may not know, fire cupping in fact, also divided into complementary and diarrhea canisters. What is this all about?


As we all know, fire cupping is good for dredging the meridians and channels of the body to better remove the biological garbage produced in the body, and the blood of the human body itself needs to be circulated, so fire cupping can also be used to dredge the acupoints to ultimately achieve the purpose of enhancing blood circulation. In terms of operation, if it is full, then it is diarrhea, and if it is weak, then it is tonic. And the difference between tonic cupping and laxative cupping is:


Usually, cupping is done with a big fire and fast buckling, and the patient consciously feels that the gas is sucked out as a diarrhea, but if the fire is weak and slow buckling, then the patient may feel the warmth penetrating into the body as a tonic. More cans for a long time to stay in the body of the local bruises for the diarrhea, flash cans frequently plucked local performance for the red flashes for the complement. In addition, stabbing cupping for the diarrhea, walking through the can is generally complementary.


It can be seen that the relationship between the clinical therapeutic effect of canning and the size of the fire of canning is very close, because the degree of negative pressure caused by the size of the fire is an important factor that affects the tonic or diarrhea. Therefore, it is very important for the operator to consciously master the skillful operation technique, and the operation technique of tonic and diarrhea of the canning method should follow the treatment principle of Chinese medicine as far as possible, in order to better achieve the therapeutic purpose.

Mechanism of action of canning: modern medicine believes that cupping therapy has the role of mechanical stimulation and warmth effect. During the treatment, negative pressure is formed inside the can, which makes the local capillaries congested, dilated and even ruptured. Due to the rupture of red blood cells, the phenomenon of hemolysis occurs on its own, making the epidermis purple and black, and then produce a kind of histamine substances, along with the flow of body fluids all over the body to stimulate the organs, enhance their functional activities, and improve the resistance of the body.

The operation of the jar method of tonic and diarrhea

  Canning method is based on the theory of meridians and collaterals. In the chapter of "Ling Shu - Meridian", it is said that "if it is full, then it is diarrhea, and if it is weak, then it is complementary", which is the basic principle of its complementary and diarrhea.

Usually, if the fire of the can is strong and fast, the patient feels that the gas is sucked out as a diarrhea; if the fire of the can is weak and slow, the patient feels that the warm gas penetrates into the can as a tonic. If more cans are left for a long time, localized bruising is considered as diarrhea; if flash cans are pulled frequently, localized flushing is considered as tonic. Stabbing and pulling the can is for diarrhea; walking the can through the meridians is for tonic.

Canning is a commonly used external treatment method in Chinese medicine, which is mainly used to treat diseases of the meridian system. The clinical therapeutic effect of canning is closely related to the size of the fire of canning, because the degree of negative pressure caused by the size of the fire is an important factor affecting the tonic or diarrhea. Therefore, it is crucial to master the skillful operation technique.

  Jar method of filling and diarrhea operation should follow the Chinese medicine "different from person to person" principle of treatment, strong gas, it is appropriate to use a large can of fierce fire fast buckle, stay cans for a long time; such as to achieve the purpose of the diarrhea, but did not get the therapeutic effect of the person, with the help of other therapeutic means; weak weak, it is appropriate to use a small can of weak fire slow buckle maneuver, in order to achieve the purpose of complementary. In short, accurate identification, careful understanding, can be handy, for patients to relieve their suffering.

Cupping is a method of traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases and health care, accepted by the people, cupping is often used to treat meridian diseases, such as back pain, cervical spondylosis, dampness, diarrhea, colds and so on can be solved by cupping, but also cupping and other treatments with, can help the positive qi, get rid of diseases and evils, pass the qi and blood, dredge the meridians and collaterals, balance the yin and yang, and improve the function of their own immune system, thus achieving the effect of treatment, health care, prevention and beauty. It can also improve one's immune function, so as to achieve the effect of treatment, health care, prevention and cosmetic treatment.

Cupping, not in any one place in the body can be pulled, cupping also has a great deal of learning and pay attention to some of the body's acupuncture points for the communication meridians, to maintain the health of a very magical role, such as everyone knows the foot Sanli, Sanyinjiao, Neiguan.

Cupping, can be complementary or diarrhea, the distinction between complementary and diarrhea cupping, is that the number of complementary cupping should be small, to guide the body's qi, concentrated in one part, for example, want to tonify the kidneys, focus on the kidney Yu acupuncture point cupping, want to tonify the stomach it, in the epigastric region and the foot of the three miles cupping. If too many points are cupped at one time, the qi and blood will be dispersed and the tonic effect will not be achieved. Moreover, the strength of cupping should be small and gentle, and sometimes the patient will feel the inflow of warm air. Cupping is usually more frequent and does not stay on the body for too long, and some of them will also use the method of walking cupping through the meridians.

Diarrhea cans, first of all, the strength is greater than the complementary cans, the patient can feel the cans tightly adsorbed on the body, there is gas being sucked out, and diarrhea cans in the body to stay longer, after pulling, the skin even appeared bruises, serious cases, but also can be stabbed to release the blood, bloodletting is also a kind of diarrhea cans of the maneuver.
