Many people like to do cupping for health and wellness. Recently, I also tried cupping, but when the cups were removed, I thought the blisters were sweat, but it turned out to be blood. What should I do?
Dry it immediately
If there is bleeding after cupping, don't panic. Use a cotton ball to absorb the blood, then put on clothes and avoid taking a shower within 10 hours to prevent infection. Generally, cupping may cause local skin damage, but it will heal on its own.
Stop cupping
Bleeding after cupping is often caused by leaving the cups on for too long. In this case, it is not advisable to continue cupping on the same area. If you still want to do cupping, try it on other parts of the body and pay attention to the timing. Generally, 10 minutes of cupping is enough.
Keep warm
After cupping, the pores in the cupped area are open, and the cupped person's body may be weaker. If you don't keep warm, it is easy for cold air to invade and cause discomfort, such as a cold or worsen existing symptoms. This is very detrimental to your health.
Seek medical treatment
If the skin damage is severe, with excessive bleeding or a large area, it is recommended to go to a reputable hospital for treatment. Although cupping is a wellness practice, if it causes serious skin damage, it should not be treated in the usual way. Seek medical treatment immediately.
Is it bloodletting during cupping?
In the practice of cupping for health, there is a technique called bloodletting. Bloodletting in cupping is the process of removing excessive dampness and toxins from the body through blood drainage. It helps to unblock the meridians and restore normal blood circulation in the body.
