The Philosophy Behind Pain and Cupping
“Where there’s stagnation, there will be pain. Remove the stagnation, and you remove the pain.” The old Chinese medical maxim holds that pain results from the congestion, stagnation, and blockage of Qi, or vital energy, vital fluids, lymph, phlegm, and blood. If pain is the essence of disease, then suffering is a result of obstructed or irregular flow in the body. Cupping is therefore a method of breaking up the blockage to restore the body’s natural flow of energy.
How does Cupping help in treating back pain?
Cupping is essentially the inverse of the typical massage therapy. Instead of exerting pressure on the different points of the body for healing, cupping uses suction to tug the skin, tissues, and muscles upwards forcing fresh blood to reach the areas that have aches and pains and in doing so help kickstart and quicken the healing process.
Pressure is applied to the points that are causing you pain, and the blood flow begins to increase in the area within the vessels and capillaries which ease the muscles and helps to supply nutrients and oxygen that your body sorely needs. Hence, cupping works to release the tension in your tissues of your body and in doing so can relax these sore muscles, ease back pain, relax tired and tense muscles.
Is there any side effects?
Cupping is a form of alternative medicine that does not use the ingestion or use of any medicines. Therefore, the risks that are involved considerably lower than others, and there are little to no side effects that can occur. Bruising should be expected, but skin should return to looking normal within 10 days.
