What is the acupuncture flask?
Acupuncture flask is a type of traditional Chinese medicine. During this procedure, instead of being stuck with a needle, it is sucked into special cups. For this purpose, the flame is usually inserted into the cup in front of its edge on the skin. The fire removes oxygen that creates a vacuum and sucks the skin into the cup. Acupuncturists claim that this procedure can increase circulation, relieve pain and remove toxins from the body. However, this procedure can be combined with traditional acupuncture or massage. The practice of a Chinese flask has existed for centuries.
Originally, the cups used for this procedure were usually made of animal corners that were excavated. Bamboo stems were also used for this procedure. Some modern acupuncturists still use these primitive but effective tools for acupuncture flask.
Today, acupuncture cupping is usually done using special glass cups. A piece of cotton or other natural material is first wrapped around a wand and immersed in a flammable liquid like alcoholl. The material is then illuminated and held in the glass.
fire needs oxygen to burn. When the flame is placed in a cup, it removes all oxygen inside that creates a vacuum. This vacuum causes the skin and upper layers of the meat to be sucked into the cup when its edge is placed on the skin. This method is sometimes referred to as dry flasks.
Another type of acupuncture flask is sometimes referred to as wet cupping. To perform this procedure, a small cut in the skin is first made and a cup is placed over the cut. The vacuum inside the cup causes a small amount of blood to be pulled out of the body. An alternative to a fire flask includes air pulled out of cups or electric pump by small valves on the upper part of each cup.
Many people say there are a number of advantages of acupuncture flask. First, this procedure attracts blood to the surface of the skin, which can help stimulate circulation. When the cups are placedFor some acupuncture pressure points, they can also help alleviate various health problems, including chronic pain and respiratory problems. Acupuncture cupping also helps to open the pores of the skin, which can help remove toxins from the body.
Most acupuncture patients agree that this procedure is not as painful as it sounds. When the cups are applied, most people simply feel a slight pulling feeling. One of the side effects of the acupuncture flask, however, is a large purple circle, where every cup is located. Although they may be rather unattractive, these places usually disappear within a few days after the procedure.
