Precautions after cupping in summer

As we pay more and more attention to our physical health, many health-preserving methods have also been promoted. Cupping is a very good health-preserving method. We like to cupping in summer because we are prone to getting angry in summer. Cupping not only has the effect of removing fire, but also cupping can play a role in daily health care, prevent diseases, and improve immunity.

However, we should note that not everyone can try cupping in the summer. For example, patients with skin allergies cannot cupping in the summer. In addition, pregnant women should not cupping in the summer. In addition, we should not cupping after drinking and eating.

Cupping in summer can not only maintain health, treat diseases and prevent diseases, but also treat winter diseases in summer. In summer, the Yang energy is strong, the body is full of Qi and blood, the Qi in the meridians flows smoothly, and the skin acupoints are sensitive. It is the best time to treat chronic and intractable diseases. However, there are also taboos for cupping in summer.

The longer the cupping time, the better. The suction time should not exceed 20 minutes, and should not exceed 15 minutes in summer. For the elderly, children and thin people with poor health, the suction time should be halved.

Three types of people should pay special attention to cupping in summer

1. People with skin allergies or skin damage: Cupping may aggravate allergic symptoms. Moreover, you should not pull the needle on skin ulcers, as this may easily cause infection, blisters, and aggravate the ulcers.

2. Pregnant women and women during menstruation: Cupping is not suitable for pregnant women, especially the abdomen and lumbar sacral area. If pregnant women perform cupping improperly, it may cause threatened abortion, etc. The same principle applies to menstruation. If you pull your lower abdomen or lumbar sacral area during menstruation, it will cause excessive menstruation.

3. After eating and drinking: blood flows to the liver for metabolism. At this time, cupping will force the blood to the cupping area, causing the heart to beat more times to speed up blood supply, which may cause dizziness.

Precautions for cupping in summer:

In summer, the temperature is high and there is a lot of rain, so people are prone to skin diseases such as prickly heat. At this time, cupping is mainly used to remove moisture. Since people sweat more in the summer, it is best to take a shower and dry your body before cupping to prevent sweat from affecting the adsorption of the cupping jar. Do not take a shower after extraction, even if you are sweating a lot, to avoid infection.

Cupping has the effects of improving human immunity and preventing diseases. However, cupping is not something that everyone can try.
