Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that is sometimes used to relieve cold symptoms. For colds, the main purpose of cupping is to enhance the body's ability to heal itself by improving blood circulation. Here are some common cupping sites: 1. **Back**: Especially the upper back (between the shoulder blades) and lower back, which are often associated with the lungs, and stimulating these areas can help relieve respiratory discomfort. 2. **Shoulders**: Cupping on the shoulders can help relieve muscle tension caused by colds, as well as relieve symptoms such as headaches. 3. **Neck**: Cupping on both sides of the neck can help relieve throat discomfort and headaches. 4. **Chest**: Cupping in the center of the chest can help improve breathing and relieve chest tightness. 5. **Neiguan acupoint** (located on the inside of the wrist): It helps regulate the internal organs and can also assist in relieving discomfort caused by colds. When cupping, it is recommended to choose an experienced professional to ensure safety and effectiveness. At the same time, the symptoms of colds vary, and cupping is not suitable for everyone. It is best to consult a doctor or Chinese medicine practitioner before treatment.
