What should I pay attention to in cupping?
Cupping as an amateur pastime seems to be more and more common in health centers. Everyone pursues this new way of keeping in good health, even to the point where they buy a cupping device at home. Many people think that taking a hot bath after cupping or cupping after bathing can have a good effect, but in fact these are all incorrect ways of keeping in good health. So, how to cupping correctly? Bian Xiao will tell you.

1. Don't take a bath after cupping.

Some people like to enjoy themselves and take a bath immediately after cupping. Of course, what we think of is taking a bath in warm water, cupping in warm water, and pulling it out after washing. It feels very comfortable after pulling it 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. This is because after cupping, the skin is in a state of injury 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.

2. Cupping time should not exceed 10 minutes.

Many people say that cupping takes at least half an hour. Some people think that cupping can only pull out blisters, especially some elderly people hold this view. And is cupping really as long as possible? In fact, cupping is different according to the size, material and negative pressure of cupping. But generally speaking, the time from ignition to can lifting should not exceed ten minutes. 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.

3. Don't pull the same position repeatedly.

If you can't pull it twice at a time, in the same position and repeatedly, you won't believe that this cupping is invalid. In fact, this is also wrong. You can even pull out the whole body when cupping, because it can be a comprehensive physical therapy to help everyone relax. However, repeated pulling in one place can easily cause redness, swelling and damage to the skin. If it is complicated with wound infection, it will not be worth the loss.

Please pay attention to the above three points in cupping in the future. Xiao reiterated here: don't rush to take a bath after cupping; Time cannot exceed 10 minute; Don't pull the same position repeatedly. Please remember!
