(1) When using alcohol for fire cupping, only lightly dip the cotton ball in alcohol. Avoid using too much alcohol, as it may result in excessive suction and affect the therapeutic effect or cause burns.
(2) Keep the room warm and avoid drafts to prevent catching a cold.
(3) The recommended duration for cupping is generally no more than 10 minutes.
(4) When cupping again, choose a location that has not been cupped before.
(5) If using a large jar lid instead of a glass cup, make sure the mouth and inner rim are smooth and without any sharp edges or cracks to prevent skin abrasions and infections.
