    CUPPING THERAPY

    PRACTICAL USE OF CUPPING


    AUTHOR KIRAN PHALKE
    HISTORY OF CUPPING
    • Cupping has been used for very long time
    in the history of the world and especially in
    India and china. Indian Ayurvedic used
    various types of suction instruments like
    the red pumpkin, white dudhi,the horn of
    animals etc depending on the diseased
    process.
    • The Chinese used bamboo glasses,
    medical cupping. When there was an
    invention of glass they also used glass jars
    of various shapes and sizes. Vacuum was
    applied by heating the jars from inside and
    then quickly applying the cups in required
    place.
    Applications
    • The chemicals used in the pools that
    these althletes train and compete in is
    very toxic. Cupping draws these toxins
    out of the body which would otherwise
    lead to stagnation, blood poison, pain
    and disfunction. These althletes turn to
    cupping on a regular basis to detoxify
    and enhance their performance.
    Principle behind cupping
    • When qi stops moving due to any reason
    in any part of the body the blood also
    moves slowly. Then due to the stagnation
    of both the qi and blood there is pain or
    dysfunction of the meridian or organ
    connected with it. When it becomes
    chronic then it becomes difficult to treat
    the disease. When we apply cupping the
    stagnation of qi is removed and the blood
    moves.This cures the disease.
