What is banking?
Banking is an ancient healing method that has been used for thousands of years. This technique, which originated in traditional Chinese medicine, is now popular around the world for its many therapeutic benefits. In this article, you'll learn what banking is, how it works, what its main benefits are, and why you should give it a try.
This is a technique in which special glass, plastic or silicone cups (flasks) are placed on the skin to create a vacuum. The vacuum is created either by heat (traditional fire-banking) or mechanically (modern pump-banking). The vacuum causes the skin and superficial muscle tissue to be drawn into the cup, which stimulates blood circulation and energy pathways in the body.
How does banking work?
Banking works on the principle of creating a vacuum that helps to release tension in the muscles, improve blood and lymph flow and promote detoxification of the body. The vacuum created by the banks:
- Increases blood flowA: Improved circulation brings more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removes waste substances.
- Stimulates the lymphatic systemA: Banking promotes lymph flow, which helps to remove toxins and improve immune function.
- Relieves muscle tensionA: The vacuum helps to relax stiff and tense muscles, leading to a reduction in pain and discomfort.
- Promotes relaxationA: Banking has a calming effect that helps reduce stress and improve your overall sense of well-being.
The main advantages of banking
- Relief of pain and inflammation
Banking is effective in treating various types of pain, including chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, migraines and arthritis. The vacuum created by the banks helps relieve inflammation and promotes tissue healing. - Improving blood circulation
Improved blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, speeding up healing and regeneration. Banking is often used by athletes for faster recovery after a hard workout or competition. - Detoxification of the body
Banking supports the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing toxins from the body. In this way, banking helps cleanse the body and improve its immune function. - Tension and stress relief
Banking has deep relaxing effects that help reduce stress and tension. In this way, it contributes to an overall sense of well-being and mental balance. - Improving the appearance of the skin
Banking can improve the appearance of the skin by stimulating blood circulation and lymph flow, which helps improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
