What to pay attention to after cupping
Do not take a bath immediately
After cupping, the skin is fragile and the pores are in a complete state, so it is easy to take a bath immediately, which can lead to cold and evil entering the skin through the pores and causing a cold.
In addition, bathing immediately after cupping also tends to break the skin, infect and inflame it.
Therefore, even if you sweat a lot after cupping, you should immediately wear clothes or cover with a quilt, and if no blisters appear, you can take a bath after 3 hours.
Drink hot water immediately
In the process of cupping, the pores will be opened, so that the evil qi will be dispersed and part of the body's fluid will be taken away, so drink a cup of hot water immediately to replenish the body's lost water, and to promote metabolism and speed up the discharge of metabolites.
How often is cupping good?
The time interval of cupping therapy is usually decided according to the patient's physical condition and recovery after cupping, subject to proper local skin recovery and disappearance of discomfort. It is important to note that the same area should not be cupped every day, at least until the scar disappears and then the relevant operation is performed.
