Hi, I want to know how I can have my own home made chinese cup therapy.
if you don't know anything about it. It's a chinese way to clean your insides of your body.
they claim that pollution and many other stuff that is toxic to the body. That putting sucking cups on specific areas of the body. It will suck out the toxions from your body.
I have seen it done. It shows like a brown liquid that some out from your skin.
they claim it sucks the toxins from the blood.
I want to know how I can try it at home. All I need to do is to have some cup that I can easily create a vacuum in the cup and stick it in the right areas.
I saw it done on TV.
I don't think it draws out fluids.
Maybe a type of acunpuncture technique for people that don't like needles.
I certainly don't, but technique certainly creates a vacumm.
The oxygen get burned, very impressive on how it looks, vacumm with carbon monoxide.
Might make the skin red as carbon monoxide binds with blood cell hemoglobin at least 3 times more than oxygen.
Unfortunately people can't breath carbon monoxide.
Just a theory, the chinese herbalists would know alot about than I do as to the medical effects.

I've found the most talented Chinese doctors have no need to use cupping for it's stated purpose (they can do it without needing that tool), so I haven't felt it was necessary to be exposed to that frequently.
That said, I understand what it does (breaks apart energetic stagnation deep within the body, which is often quite hard to get to and deal with), and hence it makes sense to me why cupping has a purpose.
I've seen it used by plenty of less skilled people and get results (although I've never heart of creating injuries) both on myself and others. Hence I support the therapy, but think it's a beginner's practice.

Many exercising the body can promote the flow of qi and blood, so reinforce the functions of the viscara and prevent retention of pathegenic factors.
There are various ways to exercise the body. Strongly is recommended.
Traditional ways to exercise the body are more effective for strengthening constitution, eliminating disease and prolonging life, such as Wuqinxi (five-animals frolics), Baduanjin (eight-sections exercise), Yijinjing (tendon-relaxing exercise) and Taijiquan (taiji box), and so forth.
These traditional exercises are slow in action and general in relaxation, and very effective for directing the output of qi and blood. They give static actions with dynamic activities, effective for regulating both yin and yang without damaging tendons and exhausting qi and blood.
People with different constitution should select different exercise.

It isn't just Chinese. It was and may still be used in the Balkan mountains. My mother used it on us when we first came to the US (1954) and had colds.
Then she found things like cold relief medicines.
If you want to try it get some drinking glasses and then light a candle. Have someone put the glass over the flame until it almost goes out then quickly put it on your back. As the inside of the glass cools it will create a vacuum and seal itself to the body.
No "brown liquid" ever came out and I doubt any toxins were removed. It just left a red circle when the glass was taken off.
But it was kind of relaxing.

It (cupping) is in a large class of folk remedies precisely because it probably won't kill you (unless you are a hemophiliac) and makes you feel something is being done. A large class of rituals (from chicken soup to the tamer forms of exorcism) fit the bill, but what separates them from evidence-based medicine is evidence that they are effective.
There are some dangerous chemicals ( heavy metals ) after ingested are difficult or even impossible to remove from the body unless some very complicated technics are used and I have no idea if chinese therapy can help
Why not leeches?
It's a time honored method and you can use them to pull out the unhealthy humors from your blood.
I can probably instruct you on how to best apply them.

I hear they need to be applied to areas with lots of capillaries and blood engorged tissue for best effect. Sticking them on your arms or legs just won't cut it.

Marvelous. I'm sure you can help the po' thing.
