拔罐疗法的历史沿革

拔罐疗法是祖国医学非药物民间疗法的一个重要组成部分。古代有“角法”、“针角”、“水角”、“吸法”、”火罐”、“煮竹筒法”等不同称谓。通过文献研究,可对拔罐疗法不同历史时期的名称、罐具材料、吸拔方法以及适应症、禁忌症有一个比较明确的的认识。现代临床上,将拔罐与其它疗法相结合,如药物疗法、针灸疗法等,近几年来较为普及的高科技材料制成的多功能真空拔罐是吸拔方法、罐具特点在现代的一个飞跃。

The history of cupping therapy

As an important and integral part of non - drug folk therapy on TCM, there were also many other names for cupping therapy, such as "horning", "needlehorn", "sucking method", "fire - cupping", "boiling bamboo cylinder". By textual investigation, considerable clear recognition can be reached on the names, cupping instruments, cupping measure, indications and contradictions in different historical stages. Presently, cupping therapy is combined with other measures, such as drug therapy, acumoxibustions etc. In recent years, multi - functional vacuum cupping devices made of high - technical materials mark a great leap forward of the features of cupping devices and sucking measures.
