7. Pay attention after cupping.
First: You can't take a bath immediately after cupping.
This is one of the matters needing attention after cupping in Chinese medicine. Many people like to take a bath immediately after cupping, thinking it is more refreshing. But experts tell us that it is best not to take a bath immediately after cupping, which is easy to cause secondary damage to our skin and is very harmful to our health.
This is mainly because cupping is actually harmful to the skin. Therefore, the skin will become more sensitive and fragile after cupping. If you take a bath at this time, your skin will become inflamed easily. If you take a cold bath, the situation will be even worse. Not only will your skin be injured, but water vapor will also enter your body from large pores, making it very easy to catch a cold. Get to know it. So you can't take a bath immediately after cupping.
Second: bleeding after cupping.
There is no need to be nervous about bleeding after cupping, but use a clean dry cotton ball to suck the blood out. The cause of bleeding is local redness or congestion after cupping, which is a normal phenomenon and will last for several hours after a period of time. If congestion is serious, then cupping can no longer be done in this position, and it should be changed to another position.
Third: blisters after cupping.
If there are blisters, you don't need to be particularly nervous, which is mainly caused by leaving the cans for too long. If there are blisters on the skin, you don't need to be particularly nervous or special treatment, as long as it is to prevent infection caused by chafing; If it's a blister, it's best to puncture it with a clean needle to let the liquid flow out, and then play with the purple potion on the map, which can effectively prevent infection.
Fourth: Keep warm after cupping.
This is an important point to pay attention to after cupping. After cupping, the patient's body will be weak, and the pores of the whole body will be in a state of wide opening. At this time, if you don't pay attention to keep warm and let wind evil invade your body, you will not be able to recover quickly, but may aggravate your illness and catch a cold, which is very unfavorable to your health.
Fifth: disinfection
After cupping, all items should be disinfected, and the performer's hands should also be disinfected routinely, which is safer to use next time.
You can't do cupping if you eat too much or are overworked or drunk, which is very bad for your health. At the same time, although women can cupping during menstruation, it is best not to be in the lower abdomen. If the skin has diseases, such as trauma and skin allergy, it is not suitable for cupping.
