Cupping therapy, with its long history in China, has been an important component of traditional Chinese medicine. Using a simple appliance which is both easy to operate and convenient to store, cupping provides good therapeutic effects and is noted to have no side effects. It is highly welcomed and appreciated by everyone who has come into contact with it. Cupping therapy, having rapidly developed in basic theory and clinical practice, has become an improved, independent branch of medicine. At present, more people are found using this traditional method of therapy for treatment, and for keeping fit.
Kang Zhu's cupping appliance, which is developed and manufactured by Beijing Kangda Experimental Factory, has managed to combine the advantages of traditional cups into their new product. The cups are transparent so that any changes in the skin or bleeding within the cup are easily viewable, and the duration of cupping can also be easily controlled by the user. During application, as fire is not used, there will be no fear of burning the skin. The negative pressure produced inside the cup is controllable, taking into consideration the patient's pathological condition and constitution. The cupping appliance, which is extremely durable and almost unbreakable, is convenient and safe to use, and may be utilized by hospitals, as well as families

1. For common cupping applicance
   For therapeutic treatment, refer to the pictures provided in the product description manual to identify the locations of key points on the body. The points located in the anterior midline (the conception vessel), and posterior midline (the governor vessel) of the body are solitary, while the points of the other meridians are symmetrically located. In the picture illustrations, the locations of the points are provided only on one side of the body or limbs, however, cupping treatment is usually done on bilateral sides. Before cupping, lift the piston in the top of the cup for ventilation. Following, insert the opening of the gun connector to the piston of the cup. Rapidly draw the lever of the gun 2-3 times until the skin protrudes, and the suction pressure is tolerable to the patient.
   At areas where cupping cannot be done directly on the skin by the patient herself, such as the spine and the lumbar region, the connecting tube may be used, i.e. insert the large end of the connecting tube into the nozzle, then connect the other end to the piston to the gun. This creates the link between the cup and the gun by means of the connecting tube. Following, place the cup onto the selected point for treatment. In the case where the area to be treated has loose skin or is exposed, a proper rubber ring for sealing, which is attached to the opening of the cup, can be used to provide extra comfort for the user. When applying cupping on a hairy area, sealing paste may be used before beginning treatment to increase the user's comfort. After using the sealing paste, there may be some residue left on the hair, which can be removed quickly and easily. After treatment, wrap the excess paste well to prevent it from drying up.
2. For the special male cup
   The special male cup is effective for impotence, seminal emission, a short penis, redundant prepuce and hypo-sexuality of middle-aged men and older. It enables the penis to become erect within a few minutes, and enables the erection to be prolonged. It also aids in lengthening a short penis, and the induces the prepuce to turn up, which benefits the user sexually.
   • Connect the parts of the special cup tightly, ensuring there is no leakage.
   • Select a ring of suitable size, and attach it on the opening of the cup. Also, smear some lubricant on the small opening end of the ring.
   • Connect the gun to the cup with connecting tube.
   • Allow the balanus to be propped against the ring opening firmly.
   • Holding the cup with the left hand, proceed to pull the lever of the gun with the right hand. This will cause the penis to slide slowly into the cup, and subsequently cause the penis to be erect. Upon erection, disconnect the connecting tube to the cup, and gently lift the piston of the cup to allow air to enter until the pressure inside and outside the cup is equal. Following, the penis withdraws slowly. Upon returning to the atmospheric pressure, reconnect the cup and the connecting tube, and draw the lever of the gun to make the penis fully erect again. Repeat this procedure 2-3 times, everytime, removing the connecting tube to allow air to enter the cup, until when the penis remains fully erect under normal atmospheric pressure. Thereafter, gently remove the cup from the ring which remains at the root of penis, and sexual intercourse follows.
   • After intercourse remove the ring while the penis is wet.
   • Wash the used ring with water, dry it and put some powder on it. Keep in a dry tissue for future use
