Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 I am sort of catching up and may be off the mark: Cupping is much like the Biblical supping, a lot depends on who you are partaking the experience with. Some heretic thoughts: If this is a person who has delayed clotting time, and you think of cupping, don't. He or she will bruise and take the devil of a time to heal the exudate, which will entertain you by all the colors in a morose rainbow. Or not clot and give you an entertaining afternoon. All venules are not created equal. Some come into being just for you, and if you lance one and cup it, it will exude onto the skin, and when the patient is driving home, under the skin, leading to encounters of the unpleasant kind. The cup is as versatile as the one which carries wine. One can lance and cup, ibuki-moxa and cup, thread-moxa and cup, stick-moxa and cup, or cup with no moxa in sight. One can gua sha and cup, though this is a wine for the more hardy partaker. Gua sha can be of the respectable kind, where some redness is streaked by a civil effulgence, and everyone goes home happy. Occasionally gua sha will open the floodgates of the third kind, when the streaking takes on a life of it's own. Exudate begins to look like seepage, or worse. I have seen things come out which are not spoken of in gentle parlors, nor in good company, which this forum is, and in which case I will not vouchsafe further. In such illustrious cases one will rather not cup, for with the pressure differential, who knows what else will exude. Cup with Gua sha otherwise is a marriage made in heaven. And that is the reason perhaps that when things have become predictable, sudden lurches happen. Exudate types by cupping? If by skin and subcutaneous level, it ought to be Wei qi and skin based stagnation, and one thinks of a brand new Yang Wei disorder who wants to grow into a Yin Wei big brother. If by channels, this is functional qi which may have stagnated, or any number of unwelcome guests who have settled into the empty spaces. If by vessels, this is Blood and all it's unpleasant by-products, all of the stagnating kind. A large part of gua sha cup exudate takes this form. If from organs via back shu portals, this is a heavier and more chronic, more complex condition which should be actively followed up by alternate intervention. The oil shift: Or the cup drag, which at times looks like drag racing, is admissible in one case and verboten in ten others. Don't like the idea of doing it for cellulite. Rather do it as part of a larger intervention, excuse me, I am old school. Cup pressure varies amd this regulates what you are trying to do. -10% of external pressure - slide on skin and a simple redness results -20% of external pressure - probably will slide will difficulty and you arebreaking capilaries and venules and causing microscopiv damage. Good cup sliding should fall in between the two, even when these are arbitary and not scientific gradations. As to cupping around the breast [if I read that correctly] I read somewhere that that is forbidden or something l;ike that. In any case it take a hardy soul to embark upon that process. And not to forget the very silent blip about to happen in a taller man or woman, or a man or woman with a taller than usual torso, which is a spontaneous pneumothorax [sP]. I have never heard of this happening with a cupping at the breast, but such cases are under reported as a genre, and the blip may happen long after the cupping and not be connected. Has nayone heard of such an accident? Dr. Holmes Keikobad CEUS in DVD www.acu-free.com 888.878.7353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Dear Dr, YOU KNOCK MY SOCKS OFF! That has to be one of the most eloquent and entertaing (and informative) posts I have read, though i must say that i often read your posts with a grand smile on my face. Dr. Holmes Keikobad wrote: >....... >As to cupping around the breast [if I read that correctly] I read >somewhere that that is forbidden >or something like that > > I must say that i have never cupped around the breast ( no need to really), but simply extrapolated based on the advertizing literature which clogs my desk at times. But I do believe that any strong stimulation on the breasts help to stimulate them and increase the size. Possessing a set myself, I have noted very wide degrees of size over my lifetime, and can attest to the success of overt stimulation via said taoist circulation of breast (I forgot to mention that they need 360 circulations per day) or simply a new lover!
