Cupping
Monday, 2 December 2013 | 0 comments
Hey. It's Sunday. Again. Just spending my time with mum at the market. Oh wait! Something interesting actually ! I get 3 new shirts. Comfy and simple ones. Then I get 3 new scarfs. From my mum of course. Never get that things from others yet, I guess.
Next, I went for cupping with my mum. First trial bro ! It just fine but something I don't really like is the spots that has been cupped by that person look terrible I tell ya. It looks like you have been bitten by ghosts. Seriously. You'll feel fine when that cupping thingy is in progress but hours later it'll be quite painful. You should try guys!
For those that have no idea about what I'm talking bout, you should take a look at this :

This cupping or commonly known as bekam. Well, looks disgusting right? It will suck your blood out of your body and you gonna die soon. Ha ha ha . Okay crap ! Just kidding bro ;D It will suck the dirty blood inside your veins, arteries, blood capillaries and what-so-ever.
To those unfamiliar with bekam, questions undoubtedly arise surrounding the methods of healing. People often wonder whether healing effect of this bekam thingy is psychologically or scientifically proven, or whether it is faith healing practice or theraphy. Well, let's check it out guys. Google google! ;)
Nowadays, there are three broad types that are currently being practiced at various clinics. They are dry cupping, wet cupping and aggressive cupping. There is no blood burst or blood flowing in the dry method. But in the other two, the infected or diseased blood is drained out.
Among these three, the most effective method is wet cupping. Well, this was what I did today. Wondering bout how it works? Continue your reading then. But sorry, it was just a copy-paste text cause it's too long to be explained crystal clear to you guys. But yeah, if you interested to know then just read it. If no then you may leave this page. Thank you. ;)
All three types involve transparent plastic cups or bio magnetic cups being attached to the skin of an affected area of the body.
The diameter of these cups varies from 2 centimeter for facial cupping to 5.8 centimeter for back or belly cupping. The person administering the cups on the body is generally called a tukang, which is translated by the doctor as a "therapist".
Standards of administering the "cupping" vary within these three methods of practice and depend on the therapists' training and knowledge of the human anatomy.
The "suction effect" of the cups on the skin can be induced either by using a vacuum pump or by burning alcohol or eucalyptus oil in the cups. Once the cups are attached, they are left in position on the affected area of the body for between five and 20 minutes.
The wet cupping procedure usually lasts 20 to 40 minutes and in some chronic cases much longer due to the number of acupuncture pricks and incisions being made and the time allowed for blood to flow out.
The blood flooding into the cups is widely believed to be "bad", "dirty" or "infected" blood.
The darker or browner the blood, the longer it is allowed to flow out until the therapist can detect fresh red blood entering the cup. Ascertaining when fresh blood is entering the cup before becoming mixed in with the brown blood can be a tricky task.
Once the bright red blood can be seen, the cups are removed and the bruised skin wiped dry with an antiseptic such as Betadine.
The visible reddish or blue-black marks take about two weeks to fade. Bekam is usually performed on patients every two weeks, so the marks normally remain as long as the therapy continues.
Recently, news spread of blue-black circular cupping marks becoming something of a Hollywood celebrity fashion, as revealed by Gwyneth Paltrow and Britney Spears while wearing backless dresses.
There is of course a danger to health, such as the possibility of constricted blood flow in sensitive tissue areas, muscle trauma (contrary to the expected re-energized blood circulation), high risk of skin lesion and infection, possible addiction to the procedure, or confusing bekam as a popular fashion statement or alternative to temporary tattoos.
When administered correctly, the cupping method aligned to the acupuncture points of the anatomy will bring healing, according to doctors and patients.
Bekam is more than faith healing. Historically, it evolved as a systematic offshoot of acupuncture and today is practiced as a therapeutic treatment. What needs to be determined is how "effective" bekam is for each patient.
Well guys, I think that's all. Hope you gain something here even it's not so detailed or fulfill you doubt. I just share something informative for you guys. End here. Bye fellas !
