Health Tips
1, eat fruit after meals: many people like to eat some fruit after meals, which is a wrong habit of life. After the food enters the stomach, it needs to go through 1 to 2 hours of digestion, if you eat fruit immediately after the meal, it will be blocked by the previously eaten food, resulting in the fruit can not be digested properly. Over time, it will cause bloating, diarrhea or constipation and other symptoms.
2, walk after meals: many people “100 steps” after meals, because of the increase in exercise, affecting the absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract. Especially the elderly, the heart function decreases, vascular sclerosis, walking after meals will be more blood pressure drop and other phenomena.
Cupping as a long history of Chinese medicine, in modern times is still widely used. In terms of Chinese medicine theory, diseases are caused by a variety of pathogenic factors that cause the body’s yin and yang to be in and out of balance, the body’s qi to rise and fall out of order, and the internal organs to be disordered. The negative vacuum pressure generated by cupping has a strong suction and extraction force, which acts on the meridian points and can open the pores and engorge the skin, stimulating the local acupuncture points so that the meridian qi and blood can be unblocked, so that the function of the internal organs can be adjusted to achieve the purpose of disease prevention.

Suitable cupping areas
Back point
The back of the human spine is the main artery of qi and blood circulation, and the two sides of the spine are the areas where the foot solar bladder meridian circulates, and the bladder meridian is the largest channel of detoxification in the human body. Cupping on this line can smooth the flow of qi in the internal organs, regulate the physiological functions of the internal organs and promote the flow of qi and blood throughout the body, and is a common point for health care cupping therapy. Modern medicine has found that cupping on the dorsal point can reflexively stimulate the central nervous system through the treatment of the spinal nerve roots, regulating the functional activities of the nervous system, thus enhancing the body’s ability to resist disease.
Siguan points
In meridian science, there is an important group of acupuncture points called “Siguan points”. In the “Spiritual Pivot – Nine Needles and Twelve Principles”, it is stated that “the five internal organs have six internal organs, the six internal organs have twelve principles, and the twelve principles come from the four gates.” This fully illustrates the importance of the “Siguan” points. The Siguan points generally refer to the bilateral Hegu points, commonly known as the “tiger’s mouth” and Taichong points, the former located between the first and second metacarpal bones, and the latter located between the first and second metatarsal bones on the back of the foot. The Hand Yang Ming Large Intestine meridian starts from the hand, runs along the outside of the arm, and ends at the Ying Xiang point on the head and face. Therefore, head and facial diseases and diseases of the five senses, such as headache, sore throat, dry mouth, nosebleeds, toothache, etc., can be treated and prevented by cupping at the Hegu point, so there is a “face and mouth Hegu collection”. At the same time, regular cupping at the Hegu point can also keep the Qi and blood of the large intestine meridian smooth, so that the metabolites and toxins in the body are discharged in a timely manner. Toothache can try cupping at the mouth of the tiger. The Foot Turk’s Yin Liver meridian starts from the foot, runs along the inner side of the lower limbs, bypasses the genitals, follows the two ribs and reaches up to the top of the head. Therefore, cupping on the Tai Chong point can prevent and treat dizziness, headache, red eyes, abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, hernia, and other diseases. Cupping on the Tai Chong point can also lower blood pressure, and has the effect of adjusting mood and clearing the head, which can keep people energetic and relaxed.
Foot San Li
Foot San Li is one of the health acupuncture points of the human body, called “longevity points” by the ancients, and has a regulatory effect on the cerebral cortex, cardiovascular function, gastrointestinal motility and endocrine function, as well as the immune system. According to Chinese medicine meridian science, the foot San Li is located in the foot Yangming Stomach meridian is more qi and blood veins, circulating from the head to the foot, longitudinal whole body, mainly distributed in the head and face, chest and abdomen and the lateral front edge of the lower limbs. Therefore, foot San Li can not only regulate the function of the digestive system, but also treat a variety of systemic diseases such as hypertension, heart disease, gastrointestinal disease, diabetes, etc. in the areas through which the stomach meridian travels.
Sanyinjiao
Sanyinjiao is the point where the three Yin meridians of the liver, kidney and spleen meet. The liver collects blood, the spleen regulates blood, and the kidney collects essence, which is the same source of essence and blood. The kidney is the origin of the innate, and the spleen is the origin of the acquired. The innate essence depends on the nourishment of the acquired, and the acquired essence depends on the promotion of the innate. Regular cupping of Sanyinjiao can regulate the acupuncture points of the Liver, Spleen and Kidney meridians to make the innate essence flourish and the acquired essence sufficient, thus leading to a long and healthy life.
