Generally speaking, the best time for cupping is from the morning to noon, which belongs to the rising stage of the human body's Yang. If cupping is helpful for the humidity regulation, it's better to go to the hospital for cupping between nine and twelve in the morning.
But if you are too weak to pull out the cupboard, you'd better pull it out in the afternoon, and it should be noted that you'd better not touch cold water within 24 hours after pulling out the cupboard, so as not to increase your moisture. The time of cupping according to requirements refers to 3-5 minutes (called short cupping) or 5-10 minutes (called long cupping) after cupping is adsorbed on human body.
The flash cupping method, also known as the flash cupping method, refers to the method that the igniter is ignited and quickly put into the pot, then it is taken out immediately, the pot is adsorbed on the operation site, and then the pot is taken down; then the pot is adsorbed on the operation site, and then taken down.
According to the size of the area of the pulled part, choose the appropriate pot, such as the broad and muscular back and thigh, you can use medium and large pot, while the calf, arm and neck shoulder are suitable for small pot. The retention time depends on the condition and location. Generally, the tank is kept for 10-15 minutes, and the large tank has strong suction and extraction force, so the time can be shortened appropriately, or it may blister. Don't pull down hard when lifting the pot. Hold the pot with one hand and press the skin beside it with one hand to let the air in. The pot will come down naturally. After pulling out the pot, the purple spots on the skin will disappear in two weeks.
Due to the different skin structure and thickness of each person and the different tolerance to negative pressure, it is necessary to control the time of cupping. In order to facilitate the observation of skin changes, it is best to use glass cans, while rubber cans and bamboo cans are not suitable for selection. Cupping time is not the longer the better many people think that the longer the cupping time the better, some even think that the effect of cupping can be reflected by pulling water blisters.
The cupping time varies according to the size, material and negative pressure of cupping. Generally, it is recommended to keep the tank for about 10 minutes in summer and 15-20 minutes in winter. Because the main principle of cupping is negative pressure rather than time. If the cupping time is too long until the blister is pulled out under the condition of great negative pressure, it will not only hurt the skin, but also may cause skin infection.
For the cupping friends, there will be many problems in the middle. You must understand clearly before you operate.
