The correct process of cupping is as follows:

Step 1: Prepare tools: glass cupping (required quantity), alcohol cotton, 1 tweezers, and half a bowl of water.

Step 2: Apply a little circle of water to the mouth of the cupping jar, not too much water, just wet it, and then apply water for better suction. Hold the alcohol cotton ball with a pair of tweezers, then ignite the alcohol cotton ball with a match, then put the ignited alcohol cotton ball into a cupping pot, and let the flame burn for a few seconds to make the fire become a small fire.

Step 3: Then quickly press cupping at the part where the patient wants cupping and stay for a few seconds.

Step 4: Move the cupping again to see if it is tight. If the suction is strong, the cupping will be pulled out, and it will take 20 minutes.

Step 5: After cupping for 20 minutes, press the skin around cupping with one hand and quickly pull up cupping with the other hand. Don't shake the cupping cup back and forth, just pull it up at once.
