Here&#8217;s an example of how cupping is applied to a patient.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Pratice (\u4f5c\u6cd5)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">When applying a cup, the air inside is heated (usually via a match), which burns off internal oxygen inside the cup. The cup is then quickly applied to the skin. The lack of oxygen inside the cup causes an imbalance of air pressure and forms an air-tight seal. This happens as the air inside the cup cools and contracts, forming a partial vacuum, enabling the cup to suck the skin, pulling in soft tissue, and drawing blood to that area and stimulating the healing process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">Cups are normally used o<em><\/em>nly on softer tissue that can form a good seal with the edge of the cup. They may be used singly over an acupuncture needle. Skin may be lubricated, allowing the cup to move across the skin slowly. The skin may be lanced before placing the cup so that the vacuum draws fluids, primarily blood, into the cuo as part of the treatment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">Depending on the specific treatment, skin marking is common after the cups are removed. This may be a simple red ring that disappears quickly, or more pro<em><\/em>nounced deeper bruising. In general, the lo<em><\/em>nger a cup is left on, the more of a circular mark is created. Usually treamtments are not painful, but treatment should be disco<em><\/em>ntnued if the person receiving it experiences more than minor discomfort.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; text-overflow: ellipsis; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 25.200000762939453px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-2528332527\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cupping (\u62d4\u7f50 b&aacute;\u0261u&agrave;n) is a type of Chinese massage that consists of attaching several hollowed-out glass &quot;cups&quot; to the body.
