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.
