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 mouth of the cupping jar is too thin. The bottom is preferably a wide semicircle.

Before cupping, the can should be washed and dried, and then the patient should lie down or sit comfortably, exposing the part to be cupped, and then ignite the can. Generally, when igniting, one hand holds the jar and the other hand holds the ignited probe. The operation should be quick. The burning probe should be shaken several times in a jar and then taken out. Put the jar where it needs to be treated quickly. When the fire is still burning, cover the jar 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 feeling that the jar mouth is tightly sucked in the body. Be careful not to heat the edge of the jar mouth to avoid scalding.

Generally, it takes 15 to 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 when moving cans, such as glycerin, paraffin oil, scraping oil, etc., to prevent skin injury when moving cans.
