Cupping is actually not difficult, as long as the operation is standardized and the time is paid attention to. The first is the preparation of equipment. The commonly used materials can be bamboo tubes or glass bottles, followed by cleaning equipment. Then put the fire in the jar, then quickly put it in the area to be treated, and then it's time to wait.

1. First of all, pay attention to material selection. Bamboo tube for traditional Chinese medicine. If you can't find it, you can use glass bottles and ceramic cups, but the mouth must be thick and smooth, so as not to hurt the flesh because the cupping mouth is too thin. The bottom is preferably a wide semicircle.

2. Before cupping, wash and dry the can, then let the patient lie or sit comfortably, exposing the part to be cupped, and then ignite the can. When igniting, you usually hold the jar in one hand and the lighted probe in the other. The operation should be quick. After shaking the ignited probe in the jar several times, take it out and quickly put the jar on the part to be processed. When the fire is still burning, cover the altar mouth tightly on the affected area, and don't wait for the fire to go out, otherwise it will be too loose to suck out moisture. It's good to have the jar mouth tightly sucked on your body. Be careful not to heat the edge of the jar mouth to avoid scalding.

3. Generally, it takes 15-20 minutes to open the tank. When taking it, don't forcibly pull the can, don't pull it hard, and turn it. The key point of action is that one hand tilts the can to one side, and the other hand presses the skin, so that air enters the can through the gap, and the can naturally leaves the skin.

You can also use the pot method. Moving cans means that after the cans are covered, hold the cans with one hand or two hands, gently lift them, and push and pull the cans to move on the patient's skin. You can move in one direction or back and forth. This has been dealt with in several parts. Pay attention to applying some lubricants, such as glycerin, paraffin oil, scraping oil, etc. when moving cans to prevent skin injury when moving cans.
