How about cupping in summer?

Cupping has the best effect in summer, which can eliminate dampness and diseases.

Summer is the peak season for cupping. Compared with other seasons, summer is the best time to treat chronic intractable diseases, because summer is full of yang, the most abundant qi and blood, the smooth flow of qi in meridians and the more sensitive skin points.

In addition, the summer temperature is high, the rain is abundant, and the humidity is high, so it is easy to accumulate moisture in the human body. Cupping in this season can not only warm and tonify yang, enhance physical fitness, but also receive therapeutic effects such as dispelling cold and dampness, dredging collaterals and promoting qi circulation, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Cupping can treat many diseases and relieve symptoms quickly, but it also has certain indications. For example, cupping is most suitable for low back pain, and cupping on the back is more effective for cough, asthma, chronic gastritis and indigestion.

Common cupping methods are divided into four categories: cupping, cupping, cupping, cupping and cupping, each with its own pertinence. Holding the cylinder is fixed for 5 ~ 10 minutes after being adsorbed on the body surface. This method is mostly used to treat wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, such as neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain.

Moving cupping is to apply Wanhua oil to the mouth of cupping, then adsorb cupping on the body surface, then hold the bottom of cupping by hand and push and pull it back and forth several times until the skin is red. It is suitable for areas with large area and rich muscles such as waist and back, and is often used to treat colds and coughs.

Flash cupping means cupping immediately after cupping, and repeatedly sucking and pulling until the skin is red. This method is often used to treat facial paralysis. Collateral pricking and cupping is to tap or prick the skin with plum blossom needle or triangular needle to bleed, then adsorb the jar on the body surface and draw out 3 ~ 5 ml of blood, which is mostly used to treat skin diseases such as acne.

Summer-damp cold is common in summer, with fever, sweating but not fever, stuffy nose and runny nose, dizziness and headache, head swelling and tiredness, upset and thirsty, chest tightness and nausea, short and red urine and yellow and greasy tongue coating as the main symptoms. Cupping can be done at Shu Fei, Zhiyang, Yinlingquan, Zusanli, Qu Ze and Weizhong, and the jar can be stored at 18.

It should be noted that due to sweating in summer, it is best to take a bath and dry your body before cupping, so as to avoid sweat affecting the adsorption of cupping on the skin surface. Don't take a bath after cupping. You can wipe your sweat with a dry towel.
