What is the principle of cupping for weight loss? How does cupping work for weight loss?

Cupping, like moxibustion, can both help you lose weight, but I saw some people online saying that cupping can also help you reshape your body. So when I see the word "reshape", many people must be excited. So how does cupping help you lose weight and reshape your body? Let's learn about it together.

The principles of cupping and cupping are similar. Both of them achieve the purpose of weight loss by promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians. Cupping mostly uses glass jars, and it is better to choose those with larger diameters and smooth and thick jar mouths. First, apply warm water or safflower oil on the jar mouth or the skin where the cupping passes. After the cup is sucked well with the flash fire method, hold the jar body with one or both hands and lift it slightly, from top to bottom, and push it slowly. You can also push and pull back and forth on the skin surface until the local skin is flushed or congested. When you feel that the suction of the fire cup is not enough, you must flash the fire again. It is suitable for large areas with thick muscles such as the waist, back, and thighs.

Cupping for weight loss also uses the theoretical basis of Chinese medicine such as acupuncture points and meridians to achieve the effect of weight loss. Acupuncture point weight loss is based on the theory of Chinese medicine meridians. It is a healthy, safe and fast weight loss method developed on the basis of combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern medicine. It can dredge the meridians of the human body, open up the meridians of the human body, stimulate the relevant acupuncture points of the human body, and release the excess fat from the fat depot. After decomposition and consumption, it is excreted from the body through urine, feces and sweat glands. Through the acupuncture points and meridians of Chinese medicine, the function of the spleen can be regulated. Current medical research shows that by stimulating the corresponding acupuncture points, it can effectively suppress appetite and reduce food intake; it can also inhibit gastrointestinal absorption, reduce the body's energy intake, and promote energy metabolism and fat decomposition, ultimately achieving the purpose of weight loss.

Cupping, also known as push cupping, means that before cupping, a layer of Vaseline, lard or other lubricating oil is applied as a medium on the skin of the selected part or the cup mouth, and then the cup is sucked onto the skin of the selected part using the flash fire method or the wine drip method. Then, the doctor holds the cup with his right hand, holds and tightens the skin with his left hand, and moves up, down or left.

According to personal factors, cupping can have a weight loss effect. Cupping is a form of cupping. Obesity is a common clinical disease. Modern Chinese medicine often uses cupping to treat obesity, which has the effect of removing dampness and reducing swelling. From the perspective of modern medicine, cupping can also increase local skin temperature, promote blood circulation, and speed up metabolism. The effect is better when combined with a reasonable diet and proper exercise.
