What are the precautions for cupping

1. Don’t rush to take a shower after cupping

Some people love to enjoy themselves and like to take a shower immediately after cupping. Of course, we think of warm bath water and warm cupping cups, and it feels very comfortable to take a shower after taking a bath and then cupping. But you really have to pay attention to the order. You can cupping after taking a shower, but you must not take a shower immediately after cupping. This is because after cupping, the skin is in a damaged state and is very fragile. Taking a bath at this time can easily cause skin damage and inflammation. If you take a cold shower, your skin will easily catch a cold because the pores are open. Therefore, you must not take a shower immediately after cupping.

2. Cupping time should not exceed 10 minutes

Many people say that cupping takes at least half an hour. Some people believe that the effect of cupping can only be reflected after the blisters are pulled out, especially some elderly people who hold this view. Is it true that the longer the cupping time, the better? In fact, cupping varies according to the size, material, and strength of negative pressure of the cup. However, it is generally advisable to take no more than ten minutes from the time the fire is lit to the time the tank is opened. Because the main principle of cupping is negative pressure rather than time. If the cupping time is too long under high negative pressure until blisters appear, it will not only damage the skin, but may also cause skin infection.

3. Do not pull out the same position repeatedly

If it doesn’t work once, try it twice. Repeatedly at the same location. I don’t believe that cupping has no effect. In fact, this is not right. When doing cupping, you can even cup your entire body, as this can provide comprehensive therapy and help to relax your muscles and bones. However, repeatedly pulling out the weeds in the same place can easily cause redness, swelling and damage to the skin. If the wound becomes infected, the result will be counterproductive.
