1, which may cause weakness.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, cupping is a catharsis method and an outward divergent therapy. Excessive diarrhea is easy to hurt skin and muscles and reduce healthy qi in the body. Some people, in particular, pull it out repeatedly and often because they feel comfortable. Too much is too late, and in the long run, it may lead to physical weakness.
2. Cupping produces cupping.
Pay close attention to the patient's reaction when cupping. In case of dizziness, nausea, pallor, cold sweat and cold limbs, take out the jar in time and let the patient lie flat. Mild people can be given a small amount of warm water or sugar water, and serious people can be sent to hospital for treatment immediately.
3. Cupping hurts the skin for too long.
Cupping time varies according to the material and strength of cupping. But it is generally recommended that the time should not exceed fifteen minutes. But some people mistakenly think that the longer the time, the better the effect. If the time is too long, it may lead to skin blistering and damage, causing infection.
4. It is easy to catch a cold after cupping.
Because the pores are in an open state after cupping, it is easy for cold to invade, leading to catching cold. But many people didn't understand the precautions of cupping before, so they went to take a shower and blow air conditioning immediately after cupping. At this time, it is easy to catch a cold.
