Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cupping technology, and in particular to a cupping method and system. Background Technology

[0002] Cupping is a treatment method that uses heat to expel air from a cup, creating negative pressure that causes the cup to adhere to the skin, resulting in blood stasis. This therapy can dispel cold and dampness, dredge meridians, remove stagnation, promote qi and blood circulation, reduce swelling and pain, and detoxify and clear heat. It has the functions of adjusting the body's yin and yang balance, relieving fatigue, and strengthening the body, thereby achieving the purpose of supporting the body's resistance and eliminating pathogenic factors to cure diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that the navel, called Shenque acupoint, is located between the middle and lower jiao (the six internal organs), with the spleen, stomach, liver, and gallbladder above it, and the kidneys, bladder, and uterus below; it connects the five internal organs and is the gateway for communication between the heart and kidneys. When treating diseases, different cupping positions and combinations need to be selected according to different types of diseases. Currently, the cupping positions are determined by physicians based on their personal experience, and there are many ways to combine cupping positions. Therefore, physicians may need to consult books on-site to determine the cupping positions and combinations, which brings uncertainty to cupping. To address this, a cupping system and cupping method that can intelligently guide the cupping positions and is convenient for treating various diseases is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0027] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the illustrations only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the state, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0028] The core idea of ​​this invention is as follows: Based on the inventor's research, a cupping method is discovered. This method uses a directional map centered on the navel to determine eight directions corresponding to the body's structures and organs. These eight directions, numbered one to eight, correspond to the upper, upper right, right, lower right, lower, lower left, left, and upper left, respectively. Cupping is applied to stimulate these directions to treat certain diseases. Specifically, cupping around the navel can achieve therapeutic effects, including but not limited to treating kidney deficiency and lower back pain by applying three kidney-tonifying cups. For men, this involves applying cups to directions two, three, and five; for women, it involves applying cups to directions two, four, and five to tonify the kidneys. For patients with eye problems, directions seven and one are applied to treat eye diseases. For liver and gallbladder diseases, directions seven and eight are applied. Furthermore, a cupping system with a digital indicator is designed to combine traditional Chinese medicine with a digital indicator system, achieving highly efficient cupping.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a cupping system includes a digital instruction system. The digital instruction system includes a client, which comprises a patient information input module, a symptom retrieval module, and a cupping method database. The patient information input module is used to input patient identity information. The symptom retrieval module has quick index buttons for various symptoms. By clicking the quick index buttons in the symptom retrieval module, cupping methods for the aforementioned symptoms are retrieved from the cupping method database. The cupping methods include the cupping location and cupping time, for example:

[0031] Clicking the quick index button for symptoms of kidney deficiency and lower back pain will display the corresponding cupping method on the client: Apply the three-cupping method to the patient. For male patients, apply the cupping to points two, three, and five for 10 minutes. For female patients, apply the cupping to points two, four, and five for 5 minutes.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 2-3As shown, the digital indication system also includes a navel indication module and a cupping body indication module. The navel indication module includes a first fixing part 1 and a first device part 2, which are connected. Specifically, the first fixing part 1 is a silicone patch or a navel ring suction cup. The first device part 2 is equipped with a first locator, and a first indicating arrow 8 is provided on the outside of the first device part 2. The cupping body indication module is located on the outer bottom of the cupping body 5. The cupping body indication module includes a second fixing part 3 and a second device part 4. The second fixing part 3 is used to connect the cupping body 5 and the second device part 4. The second device part 4 is equipped with a second locator, a data processing unit, and a reminder unit. The data processing unit is connected to the second locator and the reminder unit. The first locator is paired with multiple second locators. The second locator receives the position signal sent by the first locator. The data processing unit is used to read the cupping methods retrieved from the cupping method database and calculate the relative angle θ between the second locator and the first locator through the AoA angle measurement algorithm. Different threshold ranges of θ angle are established according to the eight directions of the azimuth map. The relative angle θ is determined by whether it falls within the threshold range. The threshold range determines the orientation information of the cupping indicator module. During use, the first fixing part 1 is installed on the navel, and the first indicator arrow 8 points to the patient's head. The first indicator arrow 8 points to orientation one. Then, the patient's identity information is entered through the patient information input module, and the corresponding quick index button for the symptom is clicked. For example, if the patient is male, the quick index button for the symptom of kidney deficiency and lower back pain is selected and clicked to obtain the cupping method. The data processing unit reads the cupping method and moves the cupping body 5. When the angle θ is located at orientation two, orientation three, and orientation five respectively, the reminder unit issues a reminder. The reminder unit includes one or more of a display component, a vibration component, and a sound generating component, generating one or more of visual, tactile, and auditory reminders to facilitate cupping. In some embodiments, the first fixing part 1 and the first device part 2 are rotatably connected. During use, the first fixing part 1 is directly placed at the navel, and then the first device part 2 is rotated to align the first indicator arrow 8 with the patient's head, making it more convenient to use. In some embodiments, both the first locator and the second locator use a DWM3000 ultra-wideband transceiver.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 4-5As shown, the digital indication system also includes a navel indication module, which includes a third fixing part 6 and a third device part 7. The third fixing part 6 and the third device part 7 are connected. The third fixing part 6 is a ring-shaped suction cup. The third device part 7 is equipped with eight linear laser lights 9 and a controller. The third device part 7 is equipped with a second indicator arrow 10 on its exterior. The controller configures the eight linear laser lights 9 to correspond to the eight directions on the orientation map. The linear laser light 9 in the same direction as the second indicator arrow 10 is the first orientation. In use, the third fixing part 6 is installed on the navel, the second indicator arrow 10 points to the patient's head, and then the patient's identity information is entered through the patient information input module. The quick index button for the corresponding symptom is clicked. For example, if the patient is male, the quick index button for the symptom of kidney deficiency and lower back pain is selected and clicked to obtain the cupping method. The controller reads the cupping method and activates the linear laser lights 9 corresponding to the three directions of direction two, direction three, and direction five, emitting linear light. Then the operator can directly apply the cupping to these three directions.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
