Can cupping really remove moisture?

Cupping

is a method of external treatment, which uses abdominal pressure generated by combustion and steam to adsorb on the skin. It has the effects of promoting qi and activating blood circulation, dredging channels and activating collaterals, expelling wind and dispelling cold, etc. It has certain therapeutic effects on joint pain, wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, neck and shoulder pain, etc. If the patient is suffering from exogenous dampness, cupping can play a certain role in removing moisture. However, if the internal dampness caused by self-transport dysfunction is not obvious through cupping therapy, such patients need syndrome differentiation and treatment to fundamentally solve the problem.
