What's the difference between cupping and gas tank?
1, different methods
Cupping and gas tanks work in exactly the same way. Both of them use the change of air pressure in the bottle to make the bottle suck on people and suck out toxins in the body. However, in order to reduce the air pressure, they adopted different methods. Cupping is to heat the air in a bottle with a burning object, so that the air volume expands and flows out to reduce the air pressure. The gas storage tank reduces the air pressure by pumping air.
2, the effect is different
Cupping has heat permeability, warming effect and stronger penetrating power, and can promote blood circulation, dispel wind and dispel cold. The gas tank has no heating function, so the effect of treating diseases caused by wind-cold is poor.
3. Different materials
Traditional cupping is made of bamboo tube, but cupping made of glass is commonly used at present. Most gas tanks are not made of glass, but industrial products that prefer plastic.
4. Different operation methods
The operation of the gas tank is relatively simple, as long as the air in the tank is pumped out. Cupping requires the operator to have certain skills, otherwise it is easy to burn the patient's skin.
5. Different security.
Cupping is generally treated by flashing fire or throwing fire. In the process of operation, flashing fire or throwing fire may burn the skin, and it is also more troublesome to operate. Moreover, the caliber of cupping is relatively simple, the negative pressure is not suitable for adjustment, and it is easy for non-professionals to burn their skin. Pulling out the gas tank will not cause the trouble of scalding the skin, and it is easier to adjust the pressure in the tank. Non-professionals can operate at home by themselves.
Cupping or gas tank?
Cupping and cupping can improve physical condition. As for which is better, there is no absolute statement, but it should be judged according to the actual situation. Generally speaking, cupping is more effective than cupping, because cupping can warm meridians and dredge collaterals, stimulate skin receptors and vascular receptors, thus enhancing the curative effect. However, cupping generally uses glass jars, which are relatively heavy, inconvenient to carry and easy to break, and are not suitable for family use. The gas tank is light in weight, convenient to carry and store, convenient to operate and suitable for home use.
