Traditional Chinese medicine teaches you how to cure a cold by cupping
There are many types of cupping, such as water jars, clay jars, etc. Bamboo jars are often used in places rich in bamboo, and glass jars are often used in modern times. Some commonly used items in life, such as canning bottles and wine glasses, can be temporarily borrowed for use. Let’s learn how to treat a cold with cupping:
The method of cupping
The method and operation of cupping is an important part of the treatment.
Method 1: Where possible, use tweezers to hold a small ball of cotton, dip it in 95% alcohol (but not too much, as long as it is wet) and hold the tank with your left hand. The mouth is facing the lower right direction, then put the burning cotton ball into the canister and burn it for 1-2 seconds, take it out quickly, and urgently send the canister to the acupuncture point with the left hand. Note that in the process of sending to the acupoint, do not align the mouth of the can at the acupoint to prevent air from entering the can, but use the bottom of the can to approach the acupoint. When touching the skin, quickly twist the mouth of the can to the acupoint. It sucks tightly.
Method 2: It is easier to use, that is, take 10 grams of flour, knead it with water to form a dough, form a round pancake larger than the mouth of the tin, stick it on the skin, and then use a ball of burning paper Throw it into the jar quickly, and immediately cover the jar on the pancake, which is more attractive and, for first-time users, prevents accidental skin burns.
Cupping acupoint selection
Cold is an exogenous disease caused by exogenous wind pathogens invading the human body. Three acupoints are selected for cupping, one is Dazhui, the other two are Feishu and Fengmen, two acupoints are selected every day, and the three acupoints are selected alternately.
The time of cupping
The time of cupping is also very important. The suction of the large cup is stronger, and it can be dialed for 5-10 minutes each time. The suction of the small cup is relatively strong. Weak, you can pull out for 10-15 minutes each time, once in the morning and once in the evening, for 3-5 days.
Precautions
During the cupping process, if you feel dizzy, palpitations, or weak pulse, you should quickly remove the large pot and drink some boiled water, which will generally relieve the symptoms. . Small cans should be used for the first-time use, children, and infirm patients who are prone to unexpected reactions. Cupping time can not be too long, so as not to cause pneumothorax. After cupping, there is some flushing and itching in the local area. Do not scratch randomly. It will dissipate after a few hours. If small blisters appear after taking the cup, use a sterile needle to pierce the liquid and apply gentian violet syrup to avoid infection. Also, pay attention to the indoor temperature to avoid getting cold again.
