Here we will introduce you to the common misconceptions and precautions of fire cupping.

　　Pay attention to fire cupping do not enter the four misunderstandings:

　　Misunderstanding 1, take a bath after fire cupping

　　Many people like to take a bath after fire cupping, think this is very comfortable, in fact, this is very incorrect. Because this time the skin is in a very fragile state, it is easy to take a bath to cause skin rupture, inflammation. Especially cold bath, because the pores of the skin at this time is in the open state, so it is very easy to catch a cold.

　　Myth 2, pull chest, stomach

　　Many people think: I pluck wherever I am uncomfortable. Tummy pain or chest discomfort, I pull the stomach, pull chest. In fact, this is also wrong. General fire cupping is best not to pull the chest and stomach, because there is no scientific basis for such a pull.

　　Myth 3: The longer the cupping time, the better!

　　Many people think that the longer the time of fire cupping, the better the effect will be, and even think, to pull out the blisters in order to reflect the effect of fire cupping, in fact, this is also wrong. Because the fire cupping time is too long, there may be blisters, which not only hurt the skin, but also may cause skin infection.

　　Misunderstanding 4, the same position over and over again

　　If you don't accomplish it once, you may pull it twice and repeatedly in the same position, thinking that this will bring out the effect. In fact, this will cause damage to the skin, such as redness, swelling, breakage …… that will not be worth it.

　　Other precautions for fire cupping:

　　1, avoid burns

　　Attention should be paid to mastering various methods of suction and extraction, and the movements should be correct and rapid. It should be mentioned that it is often not easy to operate when cupping in the uneven parts of the body, especially the joints, and even if it is pulled, it is easy to leak.

　　2、Prevention of Halo Cupping

　　Like acupuncture, cupping is also a kind of vasopressor syncope. Its incidence is not as high as acupuncture, but it is not rare. Clinical manifestations are similar to those of needle fainting, such as dizziness, chest tightness, nausea and vomiting, limb weakness, cold sweat, or even instantaneous loss of consciousness. Therefore, full attention should be paid.

　　3、Choose the appropriate position

　　Cupping therapy position selection principle is: local flat, loose, and can remain fixed for a certain period of time. Because the local muscle tension, is not conducive to suction and extraction, and changes in position, can cause the cans to fall off. In the premise of not affecting the acupuncture points, generally more prone position, one is this position is easy to fix the operation, the second is not easy to fall off the canister broken.

　　From the above article, we know that fire cupping can not be immediately after bathing, fire cupping is not the longer the better, at the same time, pay attention to avoid scalding, fainting cans.
