An updated review of the efficacy of cupping therapy


Centre for Complementary Medicine Research, University of Western Sydney, Penrith, Australia.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Since 1950, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) cupping therapy has been applied as a formal modality in hospitals throughout China and elsewhere in the world. Based on a previous systematic literature review of clinical studies on cupping therapy, this study presents a thorough review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the therapeutic effect of cupping therapy.

METHOD:

Six databases were searched for articles published through 2010. RCTs on cupping therapy for various diseases were included. Studies on cupping therapy combined with other TCM treatments versus non-TCM therapies were excluded.

RESULTS:

135 RCTs published from 1992 through 2010 were identified. The studies were generally of low methodological quality. Diseases for which cupping therapy was commonly applied were herpes zoster, facial paralysis (Bell palsy), cough and dyspnea, acne, lumbar disc herniation, and cervical spondylosis. Wet cupping was used in most trials, followed by retained cupping, moving cupping, and flash cupping. Meta-analysis showed cupping therapy combined with other TCM treatments was significantly superior to other treatments alone in increasing the number of cured patients with herpes zoster, facial paralysis, acne, and cervical spondylosis. No serious adverse effects were reported in the trials.

CONCLUSIONS:

Numerous RCTs on cupping therapy have been conducted and published during the past decades. This review showed that cupping has potential effect in the treatment of herpes zoster and other specific conditions. However, further rigorously designed trials on its use for other conditions are warranted.

Acupuncture in ancient China: How important was it really?

Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23464646
Abstract
Although acupuncture theory is a fundamental part of the Huangdi Neijing, the clinical application of the needle therapy in ancient China was always a limited one. From early times there have been warnings that acupuncture might do harm. In books like Zhang Zhongjing's Shanghanlun it plays only a marginal role. Among the 400 emperors in Chinese history, acupuncture was hardly ever applied. After Xu Dachun called acupuncture a "lost tradition" in 1757, the abolition of acupuncture and moxibustion from the Imperial Medical Academy in 1822 was a radical, but consequent act. When traditional Chinese medicine was revived after 1954, the "New Acupuncture" was completely different from what it had been in ancient China. The conclusion, however, is a positive one: The best time acupuncture ever had was not the Song dynasty or Yuan dynasty, but is now - and the future of acupuncture does not lie in old scripts, but in ourselves.

Cupping's Effects On Health


Aside from Traditional Chinese Medicine beliefs about balancing the Chi in the body, suction cupping relaxes muscles while exerting negative (suction) pressure on the surface of the body. The effects are similar to those of massage: increased bloodflow to local areas and pressure to relax muscle tissues. Beyond that, cupping has produced testimonials to more immediate gains in well-being. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow's endorsement of cupping is only one example. Practitioners and patients in most of Asia, and increasingly in the West, attribute their feelings of improvement and relaxation to cupping, joining the chorus of those who have sung its praises for thousands of years.

Our customers often feel a deep relaxing warmth during a Cupping session and a tingling sensation that lasts long after the treatment has ended. Massage Cupping is an effective addition to any spa or healing session. The cups are inexpensive, fun and result oriented. You will be amazed at the effective sessions produced by these Suction Cupping devices.

What is Massage Cupping?


Massage Cupping is a modified version of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice of cupping therapy. Using negative pressure or suction, the cup is placed over an area of the body and then massage is applied with the cup, whereas with TCM, the cup is placed over the skin and not moved. It's like getting a massage from the inside out. Instead of the regular pressure you get from massage therapy, Massage Cupping does massage in reverse. In doing so, this very simple and powerful technique will then have impressive effects on the body, including:

• Lymphatic Drainage
• Loosen Adhesions
• Release Deep Tissue Issues
• Pain Relief
• Improve Circulation
• Increase Range of Movement
• Move Stagnation
• Relieve Inflammation
• Stimulate Blood Flow
• Sedate the Nervous System

In general, Massage Cupping releases rigid soft tissue, drains excess toxins and fluids, loosens adhesions, lifts connective tissue and brings blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin.

What is Traditional Cupping Therapies


Cupping Therapy is more and more popular in the world.

Now at fist,let me tell you what is traditional cupping therapy.

•Traditional use has been multi-cultural, with clear records from early Egypt, China and Greece. This spread through Africa and the eastern European cultures, and was also used by the natives of America.
•American doctors carried cupping sets into the early 20th century, and the breast pump developed from this era.
•The most prevalent use has been in Traditional Chinese Medicine and requires knowledge of TCM theory.

What is the difference between current vacuum therapies and traditional Chinese cupping?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, stationary cups are placed on the skin and left fora period of five to fifteen minutes, and the cups may also be moved over the area to raise “sha”. The goal of Chinese cupping therapy is to move stagnation of blood and chi, disperse internal heat, and other applications based on Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostics. Traditional cupping therapies are also generally used in many cultures on adults and children for respiratory conditions, pain relief, and multiple other uses in home health care.
