Description
Disposable Cupping Cup The present invention relates to a cupping cup, and more specifically, to a disposable cupping cup that enhances the therapeutic effect by increasing the suction force during cupping treatment, allows for treatment by reducing pressure to match the pressure desired by the user, and enables the use of a new cupping cup each time the user changes, thereby ensuring hygiene. Generally, cupping is a treatment method in which a cupping cup is placed on the treatment area and some of the air inside the cup is removed using a vacuum pump or similar device to expand the blood vessels within the treatment area, thereby dissolving blood stasis and removing waste products and toxins from the blood vessels. In addition, Korean medicine doctors sometimes perform a procedure that further enhances the effect by extracting stagnant blood through the insertion of acupuncture needles into the treatment area beforehand and then placing the cupping cups on the needled area. For such cupping procedures, Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1124710 discloses a disposable cupping cup; however, the aforementioned prior art had a problem in that it caused discomfort to the user because it lacked a structure capable of reducing pressure when the user was induced to pain by negative pressure during the cupping procedure. In addition, since the structure has a single coupling hole for connecting with the valve for the cupping cup, there was a problem where the suction force was weak and low when performing cupping on the skin using a vacuum pump, and there was a problem where the suction force was weak or inconsistent when performing cupping on the skin manually. Furthermore, as the amount of user skin absorbed during cupping therapy is unknown, records for continuous treatment are limited to the number of cupping cups and dates, making it impossible to record accurate figures. Consequently, there was a problem where the procedure had to be performed relying solely on visual estimation or the senses of the practitioner and/or user each time.
