I nearly wee'd a bit when I read that!
Cupping is releasing stagnant blood in TCM. Most western doctors hate it because they think it is destroying capillaries and thus leaving a bruise. However some cool information about this: The marks on your back (they look like tentacle marks from an octopus) aren't bruises at all! When researchers have taken samples of the marks and analysed it in a lab they have found it to be old haemoglobin. (ie old red blood cells that haven't been recycled by the body properly) Cupping extracts this old blood thus helping the lymphatic system function with more support again as there is less waste it needs to filter. (This also means not only is cupping not a bruise, it actually helps with bruising! because a bruise is an impediment to the normal movement of blood in some way, broken capillaries being one of these) Search: Cupping is not a bruise and the first two results will give a bit of background on this if interested.
If you search fibromyalgia TCM, you will find some good results. However adapted for the modern context it would still fall in this framework but more so be categorised as damp disease.OK so with acupuncture and things (chinese medicine) what do they put fibro down as (just curious) I know absolutely nothing about these things so I'd like to know, cos I don't think they put pins in the same area for everything (or do they?) so what's they're take on this as a condition?, thank you
First time I got it done 1-2x by young women at a pain doctor's, it made my very skin very itchy, no help.
Not sure if with "everything" you mean all kinds of fibro or if you're suggesting that if it's fibro they'll put it all in the same area, but that reminds me:
Ah, good to know. It extracts it from where, to where? What decomposes it from there if not the lymphatic system too? Couldn't that removal process be tougher on some systems than letting it be removed directly from the blood vessels?
Didn't get that.... ;-) Praps that cupping would be long term gain, whilst fibro newbies'd rather have short term pain relief rather than additional pain?
). And I've never been interested in short term pain relief, altho I spose it might help reduce the pain memory effect, if there is/were one, which in my case I very much doubt.Literally sucks it outFirst time I got it done 1-2x by young women at a pain doctor's, it made my very skin very itchy, no help.
2nd time the Chinese acupuncturist did it on my back the first 5x after having needled me top to toe on my front. Then she decided to needle left and right of my spine instead of cupping in the 2nd part of each session, and that's what made the positive difference for my energy. Her cupping didn't itch - the marks were strong, but I didn't pay any attention to them as they weren't seeming to do any harm.

My Western acupunctures were with about 24 needles, sometimes back and front. The 2nd doc was someone who'd worked out with someone else a pattern specifically for fibro, for at least rough orientation. That was back and front and so that I had to sit, in a cold room with an insufficient heater in front of me - pure hell. Then I wanted to go to an acupuncturist trained in China, and she said that'd be wrong, she'd do only very few needles. So that's what I expected when I went to the Chinese acupuncturist. Instead she first put 22-24 needles in my front, then cupped, later: again 24 crown to toes in my front (sometimes forehead; hand, often one more than the other, often 2 stomach area, around knees, around ankles, around toes, usually varying, then another 22 left and right of my spine at certain vertebrae she counted out). Sometimes she asked how I was before doing them, but not always, which was unexpected/strange, occasionally she re-checked my "5 pulses" and my tongue.

I never mind additional short term pain for long term relief, that's my daily bread (or is that only a German phrase?...
Yes, it has to be done correctly by someone trained. Generally speaking though if it gets rid of unrecycled blood it will have a net positive effect on the bigger system.
Hmm, but normal cupping doesn't extract any blood from the body, the unrecycled blood stays in the skin area as marks, so its removal still has to take place, doesn't it, just with other means than before?Literally sucks it out
Hmm... I spose I could call my "daily bread" of going thru discomfort to reduce pain "delicious" tooBread is delicious

If you don't know why, ask me and I may be able to tell you.
