According to those who practice cupping, the sucking of a portion of the body would determine, at the level of the affected anatomical area, a series of closely linked events:
- The first event is the release of soft tissues and connective tissues;
- The second event is the greater influx of blood e sap;
- The third and final event is a more effective elimination of waste substances and toxins by the body's cells.
In other words, where it is applied, skin sucking would promote blood and lymphatic circulation, thus encouraging the elimination of waste products and toxins from the body.
It is through the elimination of waste products and toxins that cupping brings well-being to patients.
History:
There are indications that cupping was practiced from 3000 BC Ebers Papyrus, written in 1550 BC. is one of the oldest medical texts in the West, it describes the use of cupping by Egyptians, and cites similar practices applied by the peoples of Sahara. nell 'Ancient Greece, Hippocrates (c. 400 BC) used cupping in the treatment of internal diseases and structural problems. The method was highly recommended by the Prophet Muhammad and so a known Muslim scientist elaborated and further developed the method. Subsequently, this method in its many forms spread to Asian and European medicine. In China, the use of cupping is documented by the famous Taoist alchemist and herbalist, Ge Hong (281-341 AD).[27] The book of Maimonides on the greeting he mentions cupping and it was used in the Jewish community of Eastern Europe.[28] Cupping is described in an essay by George Orwell How the Poor Die (How the Poor Die), surprised by the use of cupping in a Paris hospital: [29]
«Lying down, I saw on a bed almost in front of me, a small man with round shoulders and sandy hair sitting half-naked while a doctor and a student were subjecting him to a strange treatment. First, the doctor produced a dozen small glasses that looked like wine glasses from his black bag, then the student lit and burned a match inside each glass to exhaust the air. The glass was then placed on the man's back or chest and the vacuum created a huge yellow bubble. Only after a few seconds did I understand what they were doing to him. It was something known as cupping, a treatment you can read about in old doctors' books but until then I had vaguely thought of as one of those things they only do to horses.[29]»
