Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment method unique to China. Due to its simple, safe, and convenient operation, as well as significant effectiveness, it is deeply loved by a large number of patients. We know that cupping is very effective for people with poor cervical spine and joints, as it can dispel coldness in the body. So, if we have a cold or headache, where can we remove cupping?
Where to remove the cupper for cold and headache
1. The acupoint is selected from the Dazhui, located on the midline of the back, in the depression below the spinous process of the 7th cervical vertebra. The air door is located on the back, 1.5 inches below the spinous process of the second thoracic vertebra. The sun is located in a depression about 1 inch backwards between the eyebrows and the outer corners of the eyes. Quchi is located at the lateral end of the elbow crease, at the midpoint of the line connecting the ulnar Ze and the lateral epicondyle of the humerus when bending the elbow.
2. The air door, sun, and seal holes are treated with a simple cupping method, and the jar is left for 10 minutes. Acupuncture at Taichong acupoint causes bleeding, with slight bleeding as the degree, once a day, and 5 times as one course of treatment. The method of puncturing and cupping involves only puncturing bleeding points between lines without cupping, and puncturing bleeding points at other acupoints before cupping, leaving the cupping for 10 minutes. Once a day, 5 times is one course of treatment.
What should I do if I have a cold and headache
1. Considering the possibility of having a viral cold, we suggest that you try eating some Isatis root. Headaches caused by colds can also be treated with this pain relieving medication. Cold can be treated by taking medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, such as acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, cupping, etc.
2. Cupping therapy for headaches has a good effect on relieving symptoms, but the factors that cause headaches are complex and diverse. If multiple cupping treatments are ineffective or symptoms worsen, other pathological factors should be considered and it is necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
Although cupping can alleviate the discomfort symptoms such as headaches caused by a cold, it cannot cure the cold. It also requires a strong immune system, and medication or injections can be taken if necessary. Cupping is beneficial for human health as it does not contain any chemical components. However, it may temporarily leave some marks on the body. If you mind, it is recommended to consider carefully.
