When is the best time for cupping?

Cupping can remove dampness and relieve the symptoms of low back pain, so many people like cupping. However, in real life, many people only have a vague understanding of cupping. They just hear that cupping is good for the body and do it blindly. In fact, there are some taboos in cupping. Not everyone is suitable for cupping, such as pregnant women, women during menstruation, and those who are drunk. So, what should we pay attention to when cupping? When is the best time to cupping?

Cupping in autumn and winter is like adding insult to injury, especially for people with weak constitutions or the elderly. Since the cold air in the external environment can easily enter the human body during the treatment process and aggravate the original symptoms, cupping is not a good choice in autumn and winter. In addition, people with heart disease, emphysema, skin injuries and other diseases should not use cupping, as should pregnant women, women during menstruation and drunk people.

In addition, you should pay attention to the best time when cupping. It is not advisable to do it when you are too hungry or too full, and you should not cup the same part every day. When pulling, you should choose an area with flat skin and fuller muscles, and it is best to scrub it clean first. It is important to be careful when cupping to avoid getting burned. If you feel pain or discomfort after cupping, it may be that the suction force is too strong and you should remove the cup and start over. After cupping, the purple bruises on the skin will generally disappear on their own in about two weeks, but cupping should not be performed on the original site again. If blisters appear after cupping, don't be nervous. If the blisters are small, no special treatment is generally required. If the blisters are large, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment to prevent skin infection. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that cupping is best performed under the guidance of a doctor to ensure it is safer and more effective.

For convenience, some people buy a set of cupping jars and do it at home at any time. Although this method is relatively convenient, you must pay attention to the precautions reminded by the editor, and also pay attention to the best time for cupping. Of course, it is best not to cupping yourself. It will be safer to let a doctor guide you.
