When a patient suffers from a disease, nature tries to to overcome the pathogenic factors, and if she seems to be able to do so, the doctor should not intervene, but if she threatens to lose in this struggle, he must come to her aid, doing what she would do if she could Physician must protect what is in accordance with nature and remove what is not in accordance with it."

cupping
Cupping is a form of stimulation therapy that is based on negative pressure in the so-called cupping heads. Cupping stimulates the immune system, the metabolism and the lymph flow through the negative pressure. It has proven particularly useful in blood and Qi stagnation.
Nowadays, cupping glasses that used to be made of bamboo are used for cupping. The cupping glasses are heated before they are put on so that the hot air escapes from the glass and a vacuum is created. The glass is quickly placed on the specific skin areas, sucking the skin. Two forms of cupping are used. Which form is used depends on whether there is anemia or excess blood in the body region.
Dry cupping:
If there is anemia, dry cupping is preferred. A flame is used to create a vacuum in the cupping head, which is then quickly placed on the skin. The skin is sucked in by the negative pressure. The suction therapeutically draws the excess cold and moisture out of the body, restoring the body to balance. It can happen that even a little blood is sucked out, which manifests itself in the form of local bruising. However, this is not damaging and will disappear after only 1-2 days.
Bloody Cupping:
Bloody cupping is used when there is a local excess of blood. It is a modified form of dry cupping, in which the cupping sites are slightly scratched iatrogenically. The small wound is painless and supports the blood-draining effect of cupping. Because as soon as the cupping head is used on the wound, blood flows out of the wound in a controlled manner.
After the cupping treatment, most patients feel comfortable and relieved because the energetic conditions are balanced again.
Pulsating cupping therapy:
Pulsating cupping therapy is a combination of classic cupping, massage and lymphatic drainage. This is implemented by superimposing static negative pressure with harmonious vacuum pulses. Here, the oscillation duration, oscillation intensity and the static negative pressure are varied depending on the tissue and the form of therapy. If the therapy is used correctly, the patient feels a similar beneficial effect to that of a classic massage. In addition, this technique allows the therapist to move deep layers of tissue, thereby releasing blockages and re-supplying the tissue with nutrient fluids. This is used, for example, for arthrosis, circulatory disorders, muscle hardening, scar treatment and for fascia therapy.
