Who is the best TCM practitioner?

Bianque was a famous doctor 2,200 years ago. He saved lots of dying people. His clinic was crowed by lots of patients, and unaccountable patients had recovered from serious conditions. Many people believed he was the top TCM doctor at that time. However, he didn't think so. He had two brothers who were TCM doctors too. He believed his eldest brother was the best, since he prevented the occur of diseases by getting rid of the root of diseases. He found the problems before the diseases happened, and patients didn't know how serious the disease was going to be . His elder brother was better than him, since he treated patients in the earlier stage, and patients believed he just can treat non-severe cases. Bianque had the

great reputation, since he can save lives and make huge changes in patients' life.

Top level TCM practitioner can know the nature and stage of diseases, and prevent diseases before invading body.

Middle level TCM practitioner can know the nature and stage changing of diseases, and find the correct way to treat them.

Common TCM practitioner treats patients before he can diagnose clearly.

Patients always believe how much changes a doctor can make, but they barely know the best way to cure diseases is that

they never have one.

What is cupping?

Cupping is a therapeutic way in TCM to treat diseases located on the surface in human body.

It uses negative pressure to suck in the skin, to open the tightly closed sweating pores, to get rid of pus, 

or blood stasis, or venom et al.

Cups can be made of bamboo, glasses, plastics, bronze, horns, et al.

The cups can be applied when the pain area is cold to the touch, or when victims are newly bite by animals

with toxin, or when artificial opening was done due to formation of pus or obvious blockage of stasis in the 

certain parts of skin.

It can reduce pain, or promote superficial circulation, or reduce fever due to infection in local area.

If there are bruises after cupping, it is a good sign which means pain will be gone soon. The bruises

will disappear automatically within 7-10 days.

Cupping is normally applied during a therapeutic process of 5-15 minutes. 

Cupping is rather safe, but side effects of cupping is blister. The reasons are that some people have a rather 

weak skin, and too long to main the cups on the skin.
