The Most Common Cupping Applications
- Fixed Cupping is achieved when single or multiples cups are placed on a painful area or acupuncture points. The cups or needles are retained for 5 to 15 minutes. Evidently, fixed cupping expels pathogens. For example, one cup on Du 14. Additionally, it is used to help respiratory issues such as asthma and bronchitis (eg: many cups on upper Back-Shu points). Moreover, to calm the mind for anxiety (cup BL 15). As well as to relieve menstrual pain (cup the lower abdominal region).
- Quick Cupping is performed by placing a cup on an acupuncture point, then removed immediately. Then, this process is repeated as many times as possible for 1 to 3 minutes. Quick Cupping is used for people who are deficient and weak.
