Especially when there is too much moisture in the body and there are problems with bones and joints, many people will use cupping to eliminate some discomfort. However, many people do not solve a series of common problems when cupping, which not only does not bring any auxiliary treatment to some diseases, but also affects their physical and mental health to a great extent. So many people want to know what to pay attention to in cupping. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction.
First, don't burn your mouth.
Alcohol cotton balls are usually used when cupping. For example, hold the alcohol cotton ball with medical tweezers and light it, then quickly take out the alcohol cotton ball and cover the can on the skin surface, so that it can be sucked up immediately and it is not easy to burn the skin. But when cupping, many people will leave the lighted alcohol cotton ball in the can for a long time. And it will immediately burn the lit fire to the irrigation mouth, thinking that it can be played out faster.
If the tank mouth is burned, the temperature of the tank will rise rapidly, especially the temperature of the filler will be very high. Once close to the skin, it will cause obvious burns to the skin. Therefore, when cupping, don't let the lighted cotton wool stay in the jar for a long time, not to mention burning your mouth.
Second, pay attention to the length of cans.
Many people think that cupping time must be kept for a long time, such as 20 ~ 30 minutes, in order to play a role in health care. This view is completely incorrect. If the shoulder, neck, abdomen or legs are sore and cold and wet, the cupping time should be controlled within 10 minute, and not more than 15 minute. If cupping is caused by fever, cold, dry cough and other problems, the cupping time is 8~ 10 minutes. Once the cans are left for too long, some skin will be burned and even blisters will appear on the skin.
Third, avoid taboo parts.
When cupping, we must pay attention to the selection of cupping parts. No matter what kind of group, cupping should not be done on the head and face. This part of the skin is tender, there will be a lot of hair on the top of the head, and the skin will be pitted. Cupping on the head and face will affect the external image and cause serious burns to the skin. If there is some inflammation and swelling on the skin, it feels strange or ulcerated and bleeding, then you must not cupping in this part, which will aggravate a series of skin problems.
Four, cupping process and nursing after cupping.
In the process of cupping, we must pay attention to the adjustment of environmental temperature. If the room temperature is low or the humidity in the body is high, it will lead to the invasion of cold and wet gas into the body, which is very easy to cause some uncomfortable symptoms. Don't take a bath for two hours after cupping, don't eat some cold food for three hours and don't use a hair dryer for six hours.
Generally speaking, moderate cupping can not only play a role in health care, but also play an auxiliary role in the treatment of some diseases. But you must pay attention to the above four points when cupping. In addition, not all groups are suitable for cupping, especially pregnant women, physiological women, underage groups, groups with skin allergy and bleeding tendency, groups with inhalation, chronic heart failure and chronic active hepatitis, and cupping must not be carried out. Otherwise, it is likely to cause some risk symptoms, which is quite harmful to physical and mental health.
