How Cupping Influence The Flow Of Energy In The Body?

Posted by ShbabNahda under Renaissance Youth Website

Cupping refers to an ancient or traditional Chinese treatment (TCM).

In this treatment of cupping, the evacuated glass cups are placed on the bare skin.

The suction of air in the cups by creating a vacuum in the cups is believed to influence the flow of energy and blood in the body.

In old china, this method of cupping is done by animal horn; that’s why this is also referred as “horn method”. As the time changed, the horn is replaced by jars.

Enormous varieties of materials are used in preparing cupping jars, but two main jars are clinically proved, those are:

Bamboo jar: A branch of bamboo tree is cut down in the section of 3-7cm in diameter, 8-10cm in length forming a cylindrical shape or looks like a drum. One end is used as opening and the other end as bottom. Economical, light and easy to make as bamboo is found in many places.

Glass jar: Available online or at shops, since the glass is transparent the suction can be controlled and the physician has control over the treatment.

By creating negative pressure, suction cupping is used to: stimulate the peripheral nervous system, loosen adhesions and lift connective tissues, bring blood flow to stagnant shin and muscles and drain excess fluids and toxins.
How is cupping done?

Cupping is mainly divided into

Suction cupping – These cups are specially made, which have two openings one to place on the skin and the other opening to suck the air in the cup to create vacuum.

Fire cupping- These cups are normally made by glass and have only one opening. Fire is used to create vacuum in the cup. A burning alcohol cotton ball is placed inside the cup to create vacuum. When the oxygen in the cup is burned off, the cup is placed on the skin.

In both the cases the skin is raised to a visible level and the process is painless.

Moving cups is also done- In this case, the skin is coated by oil for the free movement of the cups.
Cupping And Acupuncture

Both are branches of traditional Chinese method (TCM), but now cupping is used as an alternative to acupuncture. Cupping also uses the same meridian points which are used for acupuncture.

But some meridian points are too small for cupping. In some cases, the cups are placed on the acupuncture needles to crave beneficiary results.

Cupping responds to many problems and cures them such as:

* Disease caused due to dampness
* Lumbago (lower back pain)
* Sciatica (pain in sciatica nerve, this nerve runs from the spinal cord to the end of the toe)
* Pain in arms and shoulders
* Pain in legs and other muscular parts of the body
* Stomach aches
* Migraines
* Sprains
* Insomnia
* Head acne
* Lung diseases
* Colds and isnophilia

Though it’s a simple process, it should be done under the supervision of an experienced physician. One should not attempt on themselves. Improper use of glass can cause an injury. Side effects are only limited to bruising and swelling.

Massage Cupping: Relief For Your Daily Pains

Posted by ShbabNahda under Renaissance Youth Website

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Massage cupping, or suction cupping, is a treatment option for people who deal with chronic pain on a regular basis.

This process uses the power of suction to draw blood to the area that is experiencing pain, and supply nutrients for healing.

If you suffer from back pain, neck pain, or any type of chronic pain, suction cupping can be a beneficial treatment method.

In most cases, the process is not painful, and can be completed in a short time frame.

In addition to relieving pain, suction cupping massage can relieve inflammation and cramps.

This process of cupping therapy can be completed by a licensed massage therapist, or it can be done in the comfort of your own home, with very little training. It is actually possible to purchase suction cups for personal use today.
How Does Massage Cupping Work?

The process of massage cupping is very simple. You or your massage therapist will apply a plastic round bulb, to apply suction, to the inflicted area.

In earlier massage cupping therapies the air inside the cup was heated before placing the cup on the skin. As the air began to cool, a natural vacuum would be created between the bulb and the skin.

However, the suction cups used today have a handle that can be pulled, to create a vacuum on the skin. When the vacuum is created, blood is drawn to the area. This blood will carry nutrients that can help to heal the afflicted area.

In addition, the vacuum will stretch the skin to loosen tensed muscles. In some cases, a lubricant is applied to the skin, or the rim of the suction cup.

This will allow the cup to be moved, and also facilitate a tighter suction force. In most cases, the suction cup will only be applied for five to ten minutes at a time.
Is Massage Cupping Safe?

Massage cupping is safe for use by most people. However, before trying any new type of therapy, you will want to speak with your physician. The treatment is mostly used to reduce pain felt in the back. [Back Pain Relief]

However, many people find relief in the abdomen or arms from this therapy. If these areas are experiencing pain, inflammation, or cramping due to stretched muscles, or female reproductive processes, suction cupping may be completely safe.

However, if the pain experienced is due to an injury, the therapy may need to be avoided. Injured areas, such as a ruptured disk, may become inflamed by the process of suction cupping.

You will also want to speak with your doctor before using suction cupping during pregnancy.
Are There Any Side Effects Of Suction Cupping?

The most common side effects of suction cupping are bruising, or sore skin around the treatment area. For highly inflamed areas, the practice of suction cupping may need to last for only two to four minutes.

This will help to prevent further bruising. Some people may experience a worsening in pain for the first day or so after treatment. However, after this short period, healing will begin.

Cupping therapy in the Egyptian countryside

Posted by ShbabNahda under Renaissance Youth Website

Cupping therapy in the Egyptian countryside

I have known cupping in Egypt through the use of fire as a key factor in bringing about the effect of using various tools depending on the nature of the environment, we find some pottery used under many names depending on the country, including the name (Albocp) as well as the use of glass jars to do this, use is concentrated in rural areas particularly for back pain and arthritis, where it is a miracle cure for this pain, and often we see the mother or grandmother used that way for family members, there is no family has only ever known Ajaizha that way.
Always when the patient’s healing from back pain in the countryside and ask what is yours and answers that have recovered thanks to God, and when (I broke my back) which was to make him cups of air on the back of the patient, and this has been due to their interpretation of the body is exposed to a stream of cold air which in turn led to so much pain the back.

In many different ways of vacuum cups in the way rural areas, we find who is working on a piece of dough on the back of the patient, a candle and places them above the cup, whether glass or pottery and pieces of them puts Qlhp (what is left of corn cobs after graduation grain of it) dipped in diesel (jazz), also find it works to ignite, and newsprint paper in the form of ply inside the basin so ad hoc, or a piece of cotton dipped in alcohol and paste the top of the cup. Or found in some species, Sarah pottery place of salt saturation of diesel or the like is then burned to produce the same effect.

Not only used in rural areas on back pain and rheumatism, but just beyond that to the problems of childlessness for women who did not give birth, also used the same method in Palestine under the name of a lock back, in some communities Alsinaoip to reverse the impact of pregnancy.
Most probably, as a way ancestral legacy of ancient times as one of the manifestations of Pharaonic medicine which remains to this day, factor in some health habits and other aspects of life.

Then they used glass cups from which they would remove the air by burning a piece of cotton or wool inside the cup. The extraction of blood from the body to purify the blood is through four ways:

1. Extraction of blood from the arteries (artery bleed)
2. Extraction of blood from the veins (veins bleed)
3. Extraction of blood through the skin using cups (cupping)
4. Extraction of blood from the skin using leeches.

However, the more the means of removing toxic waste most common and secure the extraction of blood through the skin, which is the largest of the body.
The Egyptians practiced this kind of treatment expansion and transfer them a lot of other neighboring countries to China.
Also reported that the effects Alimoyen Minoans – who are the people of the ancient civilization of Crete, who lived during the period from 3000 to 1100 BC. M – and the ancient Egyptians and Sumerians were living public toilets for cleaning and cleansing ritual accompanied by a cupping for the purpose of hospitalization, and the Roman soldiers had been taken that way to their country in return.

Cupping – Traditional Chinese Massage Techniques and Treatments

Cupping – Traditional Chinese Massage Techniques and Treatments

Introduction:

I had been battling a cold off and on all winter. Like all mankind, I hate going to the doctor, so I decided to see what traditional Chinese massage could do for me.

With cupping, the practitioner uses various shaped cups that suction onto the back, drawing out the body’s toxins. The cups are left on for about twenty minutes. I was amazed to see that my upper back, shoulders and arms seemed to be where my cold – and stress – was centered. After a few days, the bruises were gone and admittedly, my cold seemed to lessen in degree, but not vanish entirely. Perhaps a few more trips to the spa are in order…
Definition:

Placement of small jars or cups on the skin. A vacuum is created traditionally by inserting a burning cotton ball into the jar, waiting for it the flame to die – meaning all air is used up – an quickly placing it on the skin. Modern cups are equipped with a device where the therapist pumps the air out after the cup is placed on the back.
Cures:

Cupping is used to cure the common cold, flu, stomach ailments and rheumatism.
Technique:

The treatment is best when combined with a traditional Chinese or oil massage. After the body is relaxed, the cups are placed at different points along the shoulders, upper arms and down the back on either side of the spine.
What Does It Feel Like?:

When the cups are put on your back there is a tingly sensation as well as a general tightness as the skin is pulled into the vacuum created by the cup. After the first few seconds, there is virtually no pain at all and when the cups are released, there is a lovely relaxing sensation on the skin. Be warned, it looks much worse – anyone who sees your back will think you submitted yourself to some kind of Dark Ages torture. The circular bruising can be a bit tender where the stress points are, but the tenderness does not last and the bruises subside in a few days.
Where to Get the Treatment:

Traditional Chinese medical and massage clinics offer Cupping. Ask your hotel concierge where you might be able to have the treatment while you’re in China. Some hotel spas may even offer it.
