After cupping and scraping, you can take a bath at least 2 hours later. In general, it is recommended to take a bath after 5~ 10 hours. If you sweat because of fitness, you should take special treatment. Take a shower immediately and rinse with hot water as much as possible, then put on clean clothes to keep warm and avoid eating cold food.

In summer, people sweat easily. Some people often get up and take a bath immediately after scraping and cupping. Chinese medicine health experts remind that this is often more likely to hurt the skin and even lead to a second cold.

After cupping and scraping, the skin is in a state of injury, sensitive and fragile, the blood vessels of the human body dilate, and cold and moisture can easily invade the body and cause colds. Taking a bath at this time is very easy to cause skin damage, inflammation and so on. Pay special attention to keep warm and avoid catching a cold. If you take a cold bath at this time, it is easier for the skin with open pores to catch cold. So you must not take a bath immediately after cupping. If you must take a bath, you must scrape and cupping for three hours. You can take a bath, but you can't wipe your back. Because the skin is very thin after cupping, it is easy to scratch the skin if you wipe your back. You'd better wait two days before wiping your back. If there is a wound in scraping, try not to take a bath until the wound scabs.

At the same time, you can't take a bath after acupuncture. Bathing after acupuncture will increase the risk of acupuncture wound infection. If the water temperature is low, it will also lead to cold air entering the meridians and reduce the curative effect of acupuncture.
