What Are the Benefits of Cupping on Fengchi Point?

Acupoint Fengchi cupping can help to dispel wind, dissipate heat, and detoxify. If suffering from a cold, it can have a warming effect and aid in recovery. Fengchi cupping can also alleviate local inflammation, and some minor inflammations can be cured through cupping. Cupping is a traditional Chinese medical therapy that should be performed in a formal hospital by a professional Chinese medicine doctor. It should not be done blindly to avoid unnecessary harm.

1. Cupping at the Fengchi acupoint mainly serves to dispel wind, dissipate heat, and detoxify, which is beneficial for diseases such as the cold, especially due to its warming effect.

2. The warming effect of local cupping dilates blood vessels, increases blood flow, enhances vascular permeability and cellular phagocytic capacity, and creates a mild local inflammatory response to cope with external adverse stimuli.

Cupping is a therapy that uses cups as tools. By burning to expel the air inside the cups, a negative pressure is created, allowing them to adhere to acupoints or corresponding areas, stimulating the skin at the extraction site to become congested, thus achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases.

Cupping is a physical therapy that can expel wind and cold from the body surface by causing skin congestion. Acupoints connect corresponding skin areas to internal organs through meridians. Therefore, cupping can regulate the organs, restore blood circulation, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. The movement of qi leads to the circulation of blood, and stagnation of qi results in blood coagulation. Cupping can stimulate specific areas, trigger neural reflexes, increase blood flow, accelerate blood circulation, and thereby promote the circulation of qi and blood.
