Chapter 4486 [575] The More We Argue, the Clearer It Becomes

Cupping is a popular traditional method of treating certain diseases. Just because everyone is so familiar with it, they don't know as much about it as they think.

Try asking the surrounding villagers if they know about cupping?

Almost no one knows it.

Ask them if they know how cupping works?

I asked several questions here and there, and the villagers' answers basically followed the words of the old Chinese medicine practitioners: reducing swelling and relieving pain, stimulating menstruation and activating collaterals, dispelling wind and cold, etc.

Also, what is the status of cupping in modern medical research? Most of the layperson's answers go back to the contradiction mentioned at the beginning: Why should Western medicine be used to study the things of traditional Chinese medicine?

Problem Modern Chinese medicine scholars have been doing modern research on Chinese medicine in order to carry forward the treasure house of traditional medicine.

Therefore, what laymen think is the magic of cupping is cupping, but if you tell insiders, you will definitely laugh to death.

Cupping, such as acupuncture or fire moxibustion in the acupuncture discipline, what can make these treatment methods work wonders is the valuable basic theory of meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

By analogy, ancient cupping used fire. In order to avoid fire damage to the patient's body, modern doctors are familiar with the basic principles of cupping and invent new models of air extraction tanks.

Speaking of the basic principle of cupping on the human body: the fire burns away the air in the bottle, causing the cup to adsorb on the human skin to form negative pressure, which produces benign stimulation on the acupuncture points of the human body.

Focus on the above.

First, the jar is nothing but a negative pressure device. It can be of various types. In addition to our commonly used glass jars, bamboo jars, porcelain jars, etc. can be used.

Secondly, it is feasible for the air extraction tank mentioned to be invented to imitate the principle of cupping. In the future, any method that can produce a similar effect will be feasible.

The third is to produce benign stimulation on human acupuncture points.

This seems to indicate why some teachers are opposed to Dr. Xie's proposal.

If there is an obvious swelling in the affected area due to acute sprain, then unplugging the cupping cup on the affected area to create negative pressure to absorb the human skin will make the affected area more swollen and bruised. This method is obviously not advisable here.

It can be understood from this that most laymen answer that the principle of cupping is simply to reduce swelling and relieve pain, which is a confusing statement that cannot be understood. Because if you ask them the above question again, they won’t be able to answer the question.

And those people who opposed Dr. Xie at the scene really understand what cupping is? Obviously, my brain is confused about Chinese medicine.

Dr. Xie Wanying only needs to ask these people: Where do you think cupping should be performed on the patient?

Everyone saw that her frank and frank attitude was so superior, they had to sigh: King Xie Juan is never afraid of being provoked and slapped in the face, but in the end the person who is slapped in the face often changes back to someone else?

Sure enough, Dr. Xiao Yang, who was the first to object, was tongue-tied and stammered. He followed Dr. Xie's question and said, "No, isn't it on the patient's back?"

It shows that Xiao Yang realized where he went wrong.

The magic of TCM meridian science is that it can treat the affected area remotely, and the root of it is the holistic medical view of the human body in TCM.

For example, to treat low back pain, acupuncture on a person's hands can cure low back pain, and acupuncture on a person's feet can also cure low back pain.

"Yes, that's true." Dr. Tong and Professor Pei supported Dr. Xie's well-founded academic defense on the spot.

General practitioners can learn everything, and this moment highlights their advantages.

As for King Xie Juan, he was reborn as a different kind.

Dr. Xie Wanying doesn't care whether she will be slapped in the face, so she doesn't resent the opposition.

Thinking about it, Dr. Xiao Yang’s objections were just right, making the TCM treatment plan more thorough and clearing up the patients’ concerns.

The patient, Dr. Cao Zhao, is also a doctor after all, and he cannot just use his body as a guinea pig.

In the medical circle, it is an eternal truth that the more we debate, the clearer it becomes.
