The place of body for applying the cupping operation
It is: near the
lower end of the shoulder blade (the scapula) in the two symmetric locations
between the spine and the inside limit of the scapula.
The cupping operation makes a kind of
blood congestion in the upper part of the back "these two symmetric places
of back" by using (air cups). This cup is applied
on the upper frontal part of the back, near the lower end of the scapulae and
on the two sides of the spine.
This is because it is the calmest area
in the body and void of moving joints. This area is a net of plexus capillaries
of much ramification and profusion which makes the
flow rate of blood circulation much less where the blood of the body
precipitates its harmful precipitations (such as cell ghosts and dead of red
blood cells ...) in it.
We made a lab study on this case, we
found that the white corpuscles were less in this area of the back on the other
hand the cupping blood (the withdrawn blood by cupping) was full of cell
ghosts, dead and abnormal red blood cells
which made the cupping operation very suitable here. We per-formed
cupping operations in places on the leg, the two jugular veins, and the back
near the pelvis. The cupping blood in these places was similar to the vein
blood.
