Many families have cupping devices, such as glass cans, bamboo cans and vacuum cans. No matter what jar you use, the effect of treating diseases and keeping in good health is the same. Chinese medicine experts pointed out that when cupping, attention should be paid to the time of leaving the can, which is different in different seasons.

Many people think that the longer the cupping time, the better. Some even think that pulling out blisters can reflect the cupping effect. Cupping time varies with cupping size, material and negative pressure. It is generally recommended that the storage time should be controlled at 10 minutes in summer and 15~20 minutes in winter. 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.

In addition, the number of cupping should not be too frequent. For preventive health care, at most twice a week. It is best to follow the doctor's advice in treating diseases.

Chinese medicine reminds that taking a bath after cupping is easy to catch a cold.

It is not advisable to take a bath after cupping. Many people who love bathing often say that "cupping and bathing are not few". Indeed, warm bath water and warm cupping are comfortable to think about before pulling out after washing, and then washing after pulling out. However, we really need to pay attention to this order. You can cupping after taking a bath, but you must never take a bath immediately after cupping.

After cupping, the skin is in a damaged state and very fragile. Bathing at this time can easily lead to skin damage and inflammation. If you take a cold bath, it is easy to catch cold because your skin is in a state of open pores. So you must not take a bath immediately after cupping.
