Why does the area where the plaster is applied feel hot?

Using plasters to treat diseases is not uncommon in life. Even more than 90% of middle-aged people have used this method. Especially when they have waist pain or back pain, they often combine cupping with plaster treatment, and the effect is very significant. So, why does the place where the plaster is applied sometimes feel hot? You can judge the situation based on the following reactions to the plaster.

Contraindications of using plasters:

When applying the plaster, try not to eat leeks, coriander, seafood, spicy food, and do not drink alcohol (including beer). Everyone has different physiques, which will affect the efficacy of the plaster. A few people may be allergic to these, so try to avoid them!

What to do if you need to take a shower while using a plaster: Because the pores are open when applying the ointment, you should remove it 2-3 hours before showering to allow the pores to shrink and close naturally, and give the skin a proper rest. This will prevent moisture from entering the body when showering. Remove the ointment in advance, and the affected area will not be so irritated when taking a shower. After taking a shower, reheat the ointment and apply it to the affected area.

Improvement after applying the plaster:

1. Heat: It is to expel cold

2. Spiciness and pain: This means that you have a lot of coldness and the medicine is working to clear the blockage;

3. Itching: It is to expel moisture, cold and wind.

4. No more pain: It means the affected area is repairing

5. If it hurts again: the drug effect is going deeper;

6. If small red rashes, blisters, etc. appear, or it itches unbearably: This means that you have a damp and cold constitution. This is a normal reaction to expel dampness and cold, not an allergy. Continue to apply the patch. If you really can't stand it, peel it off and apply it again slowly.

7. If the condition is serious, you may not feel any pain or itching at the moment, but the drug is still penetrating through the skin. No feeling does not mean no effect. Don't worry, stick to it and it will get better and better!

After removing the plaster, please observe the surface of the plaster:

1. There are pits on the surface: It means that there is a lot of coldness in the body, and the pits are caused by the coldness.

2. Water vapor on the surface: It means that there is too much moisture in the body. After wiping it dry, heat it for a while before applying it next time.
