Facial cupping to treat acne

Acne has always been something that people hate very much, because acne can cause great damage to people's image and cause trauma to people's faces and other parts of the body. There are also many ways to get rid of acne. Among them, using cupping to remove acne is becoming more and more popular. After countless practices, people have summarized many methods of cupping to remove acne. Let's take a look at how to use facial cupping to remove acne?

Cupping has certain effects and functions in eliminating acne on the face. Cupping is a therapy that uses cups as tools and utilizes methods such as burning fire and pumping air to create negative pressure, causing the cups to adsorb onto the body surface, causing local blood stasis, in order to achieve the effects of dredging meridians, relieving swelling and pain, promoting qi and blood circulation, and dispelling wind and cold. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, acne is mostly caused by heat in the blood. Cupping combined with bloodletting therapy can clear away heat and toxins, remove dampness and dredge the meridians. Generally, after 2 to 3 treatments, the "fire" will disappear immediately and the acne will gradually subside and disappear.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cupping can open the pores, strengthen the body and eliminate evil. Diseases are caused by pathogenic factors that lead to the imbalance of yin and yang in the body, abnormal rise and fall of qi and blood in the human body, and disorder of qi and blood functions of internal organs. When the human body is attacked by wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire, poison, external trauma or internal emotional injury, it can lead to organ dysfunction and produce pathological products, such as blood stasis, qi stagnation, phlegm, food stagnation, turbid water, and evil fire. These pathological products are also pathogenic factors, which travel through the body through the meridians and acupoints, disrupt the qi, retain it in the organs, block the meridians, and ultimately lead to various diseases.

Cupping method for treating acne:

1. Prepare 2 to 3 cupping cups.

2. Select 2 to 3 relatively large acne spots on the back, prick them with a three-edged needle (or an injection needle) to cause bleeding, and squeeze out a few drops of brown-brown blood. Stop squeezing when the squeezed blood turns bright red.

3. The method of cupping is to use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to wipe the inner wall of the cup, light a candle (or lighter), heat the inner wall of the cup, use the heat to expel the air in the cup, and then quickly buckle it on the selected part of the cup. Note: Cupping time should not exceed 10 minutes. Generally, it is best to pull until the skin turns purple and red without blisters. If the time is too long, blisters and infections are likely to occur in hot weather.
