Advantages of cupping

Disadvantages of cupping

First, the damage to the skin

Everyone should have a better understanding of the operation mode and working principle of cupping. It mainly combines cupping with skin to form a closed space, and then consumes oxygen in the closed space through combustion, thus reducing the pressure in the closed space. In this way, the sediment in the body is sucked out through the pores. At present, cupping sometimes doesn't need open flame to burn, but its basic work is far from that of traditional cupping, and the silt in the body is sucked out of the body through pores. It will relax the pores. Relaxation time is too long or relaxation intensity is too large, which is easy to cause coarse pores and rough skin. So be sure to remind everyone to control the time and frequency when cupping. Each cupping time shall not exceed five minutes, and the interval of cupping in the same place shall not be less than three days.

Second, it is easy to induce stroke.

Traditionally, cupping is generally for physical therapy, but with the popularity of slimming trend, many people use cupping to lose weight. Experts specially reminded that because the skin pores are in a relaxed state after cupping, it is easy to cause cold air in the external environment to enter the human body, thus inducing a stroke. Therefore, after cupping in a large area, we must be careful not to expose the cupping part to the outside and do a good job of keeping warm. In addition, it should be noted that don't take a bath or wipe the cupping area immediately after cupping.

Third, frequent cupping can easily cause skin infection.

If you often go cupping, you must prevent these things that you shouldn't have. Frequent cupping can lead to skin infection. Many people think that cupping takes at least half an hour to be effective. Chinese medicine reminds that cupping actually varies according to the size, material and negative pressure of cupping. However, generally speaking, it is advisable that the time from lighting the fire, sliding the can to lifting the can should not exceed ten minutes. Because the main principle of cupping is negative pressure rather than time, if cupping takes too long under the condition of high negative pressure until the blister is pulled out, it will not only hurt the skin, but also cause skin infection.

Black indicates high humidity.

(1) When cupping, you should choose the appropriate position and muscle parts. If the posture is improper, the body is active, the bones are skinny, and the parts with more hair are not applicable. ?

(2) When cupping, you should choose a jar of suitable size according to the area of the pulled part. The operation must be rapid, so that it can be pulled tightly and has strong adsorption. ?

③ Be careful not to burn or scald the skin when cupping. If you burn or leave the jar for too long and your skin is blistered, it is too small to need treatment, just apply sterile gauze to prevent inflammation. When the blister is large, use a disinfectant needle to drain water, apply gentian violet liquid medicine, or wrap it with sterile gauze to prevent infection. ?

④ Skin allergy, ulceration and edema are distributed in large blood vessels, so cupping is not suitable. Cupping is also not suitable for people with high fever and convulsions, as well as the abdomen and lumbosacral part of pregnant women.
