- <p>ABSTRACT<br>Degenerative diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus,<br>and hypercholesterolemia remain the leading causes of<br>morbidity, especially in rural areas with low health literacy.<br>Cupping therapy is a complementary therapy believed to improve<br>blood circulation and reduce inflammation, but the public still<br>has many misconceptions about its mechanism of action, safe<br>procedures, and risks. This study aims to determine the<br>effectiveness of cupping therapy education in increasing public<br>knowledge as a preventive measure against degenerative<br>diseases in Sukabanjar Village.The study used a one-group pre-<br>post test quasi-experimental design with 20 respondents.<br>Education was provided through interactive lectures,<br>demonstrations, videos, and leaflets. Knowledge was measured<br>using a questionnaire containing 10 questions related to the<br>benefits, types of cupping, indications, contraindications, and<br>safe areas for treatment.The results show a significant increase<br>in the community's knowledge score, from an average of 47% in<br>the pre-test to 98.5% in the post-test. Education has proven to<br>be effective in correcting misconceptions, especially regarding<br>the assumption that cupping removes “dirty blood” and the<br>belief that all areas of the body can be cupped. In addition, the<br>increased understanding that cupping should be performed by<br>trained personnel indicates an increase in public awareness of<br>safety aspects.In conclusion, health education has proven to be<br>effective in improving health literacy and public understanding<br>of safe cupping therapy. This education has the potential to be<br>a preventive strategy to support the prevention of degenerative<br>diseases in rural communities.<br>Keywords: cupping therapy, health education, degenerative<br>diseases, health literacy.</p>
