Some precautions for cupping
First, cupping and bathing come first
Take a bath immediately after cupping, and many people who love to take a bath in the bath often say that "cupping and bathing are indispensable". Indeed, warm bath water and warm fire cupping, after washing and then pulling, after pulling and washing, it is comfortable to think about. But you really need to pay attention to this order, you can cupping after taking a shower, but you must not take a shower immediately after cupping.
After cupping, because the skin is in a state of relaxation, you should not take a shower at this time, especially a cold shower. At this time, the skin is very fragile, and it is easy to damage or inflame the skin when taking a bath, if it is cold water, it is easier to irritate the skin and get cold, so do not take a shower immediately after cupping.
So don't take a shower right after cupping.
Second, is it true that cupping is better the longer it lasts?
Many people say that it takes at least half an hour to pull out the cupping, and some people think that pulling out the blisters can reflect the effect of cupping, especially some elderly people hold this view. And is cupping really the longer the better?
Cupping varies according to the size, material, and strength of the negative pressure. However, it is generally advisable to take no more than 10 minutes from the ignition of the fire to the start of the can. Because the main principle of cupping lies in negative pressure and not in time, if the cupping time is too long until the blisters are pulled out in the case of high negative pressure, this will not only hurt the skin, but also may cause skin infection.
Third, can the same position be pulled repeatedly?
If you can't pull it out twice, in the same position, and pull it out repeatedly, you don't believe that this cupping is ineffective. There is a determination that "there is no difficulty in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart", but in fact, this is not possible.
You can even pluck the whole body while cupping, as this will allow for comprehensive treatment and enhance the treatment effect. However, repeated pulling in one place, although this kind of dedication to healing is remarkable, but for the skin, it is red, swollen and broken...... That's more than worth the loss.
