Once upon a time, medical jars were quite popular and were used in the treatment of respiratory diseases. However, after some time it became clear that the use of such cans is fraught with certain health risks, as banks cause severe subcutaneous hemorrhage. In addition, the use of cans negatively affects the microcirculation in the lung tissue. Therefore, at present, banks for massage, and this is what they are called now, are widely used in therapy.
How to massage banks? Firstly, one must remember that banks should only be placed on a flat surface of the body. Those. where there are no bony protrusions or depressions. Such places are on the sides, between the spine and shoulder blades. Before putting massage jars on the body, the skin must be lubricated with medical petroleum jelly or vegetable oil.
Now you need to take a metal knitting needle or an even piece of wire, wind cotton wool at its end and dip it into a container of alcohol. Then squeeze slightly, but not by hand, but slightly pressing cotton on the edge of the container. Now cotton can be set on fire. Take the can in one hand, and with the other hand that holds the rod with the burning cotton, put the cotton inside the can and make a quick circular motion, trying to make sure that the cotton does not touch the walls of the can. For more than 2 seconds, you can’t hold the flame in the bank. Otherwise, the walls of the jar can get so hot that the skin can even get burned when the jar is placed. The result is this: when oxygen is burned inside the massage jar, a vacuum is created in it. It is this that leads to the suction of the jar to the surface of the skin. Now you can pull out the burning rod and try to press the can to the body as tightly as possible.
After the jar sticks to the skin, it will need to make sliding massage movements in the direction from the lower back to the cervical spine. Moreover, you can move the bank as you like - in zigzags, circles, up and down. Such a massage must be performed for 5-15 minutes. When the can massage is finished, the jar must be carefully removed, the person should be wrapped warmly and given a warming drink such as hot tea. The number of performed procedures must be at least 7.
In general, to make the result of such massage more effective, it is recommended to do it daily for 1.5-2 months. Of course, in the first days after using this massage, bruises can appear on the skin and the skin can even hurt. However, after a while it all goes away. But if bruises and redness continue to occur, then this is the first signal that the "massage" sessions should be stopped, or try to perform them with extreme caution.
Massage jars are indispensable in the event that you need to conduct a quick but effective vacuum massage. As a result of this massage, blood and lymph rush to the skin, and its nutrition improves. As a result, the skin becomes firm and very supple.
I must say that massage banks for weight loss has recently become very popular. Not only can even the most “old-fashioned” cellulite be cured with it, but also this type of massage helps to remove excess fluid from the skin. And this can already lead to weight loss.
Meanwhile, this type of massage has its own contraindications. These include varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, tumors on the skin, skin diseases, pustular diseases and a rash on the skin, fever, exhaustion of the patient, excessive excitement of a person, etc. Therefore, without prior consultation with a doctor, canning is not recommended. Otherwise, instead of benefit, you can do quite serious harm to your health.
