Method 1: Where conditions permit, you can pick up a small cotton ball with tweezers, dip it in 95% alcohol (but not too much, depending on the degree of wetness), hold the cylinder with the mouth down to the right with your left hand, then put the burning cotton ball into the cylinder to burn for 1-2 seconds, then take it out quickly, and send the cylinder to the acupoint with your left hand urgently. Be careful not to aim the jar mouth at the acupoint during the delivery to avoid air entering the jar. Instead, use the bottom of the jar to approach the acupuncture point forward, and when touching the skin, twist the jar mouth to the acupuncture point conveniently and quickly to make it suck tightly.

Method 2: It is very easy to use, that is, take 10g flour, add water to make dough, knead it into a round pancake larger than the jar mouth, and stick it on the skin. Then, quickly throw a ball of burning paper into the jar and immediately cover the jar on the bread, which is more attractive. For people who use it for the first time, this can prevent the skin from being accidentally burned.
