How effective is cupping for acne treatment?

Having pimples on the face is a very annoying thing. Acne on the face is closely related to the body's overactive endocrine system and lack of attention to personal hygiene. Therefore, you must pay attention to regulating your endocrine system and personal hygiene in your daily life. When acne occurs, you can use traditional Chinese medicine to treat it. So can cupping be used for treatment? Let’s talk about it below.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, acne is mostly caused by blood heat. Cupping combined with bloodletting can clear away heat and toxins, remove dampness and dredge the meridians. Generally, after 2 to 3 treatments, the "fire" will disappear immediately and acne will gradually subside and disappear.

Now I will introduce to you a simple method of cupping to treat acne:

1. Prepare 2 to 3 cupping jars;

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.

If there is no acne on the back, you can also cupping the lung point and spleen point.

Method of locating the Feishu point: The patient sits down, lowers his head, and touches a protruding cervical vertebra, which is the 7th cervical vertebra. Counting down 3 vertebrae is the 3rd thoracic vertebra, and 1.5 inches to the side is the Feishu point.

How to locate the Pishu point: It is located on the 11th thoracic vertebra, 8 vertebrae down from the Feishu point, and 1.5 inches to the side is the Pishu point.

Warm reminder: When you cupping yourself, you should pay attention to disinfecting the relevant equipment. If you are not sure about self-cupping, it is best to go to a hospital or clinic.

Cupping can have a very good therapeutic effect on acne. When using cupping to treat acne, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of the cupping cup and the cleanliness of your face. Pay attention to situations that can effectively avoid infection. In addition, you should pay attention to the technique of cupping to avoid burns or scalds. Don't cupping for too long.
