What are the dangers of cupping after drinking alcohol?

First, drinking after cupping will disrupt the qi and blood

Cupping mainly regulates the body's Qi and blood movement to make the body's organs harmonious, while drinking alcohol can also accelerate the body's Qi and blood circulation, which may cause chaos in the body's Qi and blood circulation and lead to poor blood circulation.

Second, drinking after cupping will affect the efficacy

The main function of cupping is to regulate Qi and blood. After alcohol enters the blood, it will paralyze the vasomotor center, respiratory center and peripheral blood vessels, form methemoglobin, and cause blood pressure to drop to a certain extent, which conflicts with the regulating principle of cupping.

Third, drinking after cupping is harmful to the liver

After alcohol enters the human body, it is metabolized by the liver and converted into harmful substances. After cupping, the body's qi and blood flow faster and various organs also operate at high speed, which speeds up the liver's absorption of alcohol, increases the burden on the liver, and is not good for the liver.

Fourth, do not drink alcohol before cupping

The effects of cupping after drinking are almost the same as those before drinking, but the human body's senses are relatively reduced after drinking, and the pain of cupping cannot be clearly felt during cupping. Such cupping will affect the cupping treatment and easily cause damage.

Fifth, how long before and after cupping can you drink alcohol? Do not drink alcohol at least one day before cupping. Wait until the alcohol is metabolized in the human body before doing cupping. This will have a better therapeutic effect and reduce adverse consequences. Generally, you need to rest for a night after cupping to allow the body's functions to gradually recover before drinking.
