Cupping is a common treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine, which mainly stimulates the skin on the body surface by raising the temperature, so as to dredge the meridians and remove moisture. Although it has the characteristics of simple and effective operation, there are also matters needing attention after cupping, but there are more than five items. Usually, after cupping, you need to pay attention to abnormal phenomena such as blisters and congestion, as well as keep warm and windproof, avoid taking a bath immediately, and avoid scratching cupping parts.

1. blister: after cupping, some patients need to use disinfectants such as iodophor to disinfect the blister to avoid infection due to the blister phenomenon caused by too long time and too high temperature.

2, congestion: the principle of cupping is mainly carried out by heating, and then negative pressure is formed in the can, so when the negative pressure is too large, it will cause the patient's skin congestion. At this time, the blood stasis part should be properly massaged to promote blood circulation, so as to achieve the effect of relief;

3. Keep warm and avoid the wind: After cupping, the patient's skin pores are in a state of expansion due to heat. If the skin here is blown by cold, it is easy to cause a cold, so you need to keep warm and shelter from the wind after cupping;

4. Avoid taking a bath immediately: the skin after cupping is in a relatively fragile state. If you take a bath immediately, it may induce skin damage. It is best to take a bath after 24 hours. In addition, if you are exposed to bacteria when you don't take a bath, it is easy to cause infection;

5. Avoid scratching the cupping part: When the skin in the cupping part has itching symptoms, it is generally normal. Patients are advised to avoid scratching directly with their hands. Once they accidentally scratch the cupping area, it will increase the chance of infection.

In addition, in the recovery period after cupping, patients should pay more attention to their daily diet, avoid spicy food such as pepper, pepper and garlic, and ensure adequate sleep to promote physical recovery.

Precautions after cupping 2 Cupping can dispel cold and dampness. After cupping, you should pay attention to the following points:

1, after cupping, rub back and forth several times in the cupping area to relax the muscles in the blood stasis area until the skin is hot. Then put a blanket on your back, and don't catch cold.

2. Don't take a bath within 8 hours after cupping, because skin cells are in an open state after cupping, and bathing is bound to bring a lot of moisture into the body, which is counterproductive. It is best not to blow air or air conditioning on the same day, just like the principle of bathing.

3. After cupping, pay special attention to the hygiene and wet and dry conditions of the sheets when sleeping, because the skin is in a very fragile state at this time. If the sheets are not sanitary and dry enough, it is easy to cause skin allergies.

Cupping acts on the corresponding acupoints on the surface of human body through negative pressure, thus achieving the functions of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and regulating viscera. Matters needing attention after cupping mainly include the following aspects:

First of all, don't blow, bathe or catch cold immediately after cupping. Because the skin is open after cupping, whether it is blowing, catching cold or bathing, it is easy to cause cold pathogens to invade the human body and cause some diseases.

Second, keep warm after cupping. Because the pores of the whole body are in a wide open state at this time, if you don't pay attention to keeping warm, it may lead to wind evil or cold evil invading the human body directly, which not only can't play the role of health preservation and disease prevention, but also may cause some diseases.

The taboo of cupping, it should be noted that not everyone can. Cupping is not allowed for patients with high fever or women's menstrual period, pregnancy, epilepsy, hematological diseases and skin diseases.

Precautions 3( 1) After cupping, the body position should be appropriate, and the local flesh is wrinkled, slack and uneven, and cupping is easy to fall off when the body position moves.

(2) According to different parts, select cans with appropriate size. When throwing fire and cupping, the flame must be strong and fast, so that the mouth of the can is tilted upward to avoid the fire source falling and scalding the skin. When using flash fire method, cotton swabs should not be dipped in too much alcohol.

To prevent alcohol from dripping and burning and hurting the skin. When sticking cotton, it is necessary to prevent burning cotton from falling off. When using the fire rack method, the cover should be accurate and don't knock over the burning fire rack. When using the boiling water tank, the hot water in the tank should be poured out to avoid scalding the patient's skin.

(3) When applying needle and cupping, it is necessary to prevent muscle contraction and needle bending, and avoid knocking the needle into the depths, which is conducive to injury. Acupoints on the chest and back should be used with caution.

(4) When applying pricking blood and cupping, the area of skin bleeding caused by acupuncture should be equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of cupping. The amount of bleeding should be appropriate, and the total amount of each adult should not exceed 10ml.

(5) When using multiple cans, the distance of cupping arrangement should not be too close, otherwise it will cause pain due to cupping pulling the skin. At the same time, cupping should not be pulled too tightly because of mutual extrusion between cans.

(6) When cupping, don't push or pull at the bone protrusion, so as to avoid damaging the skin or leaking the cupping.

When lifting cans, be gentle. Put one hand against the skin at the edge of the can, and press the can to make the gas leak, so that the can can be removed, and it is not allowed to pull or rotate the can.

(8) If there is bleeding in the pinhole after cupping, dry cotton balls can be used to wipe it clean. Generally, redness or cyanosis (congestion) occurs locally, which is a normal phenomenon and will subside on its own. If the local blood stasis is serious, it is not appropriate to pull it out on the spot. If the can is left for too long, the skin will blister, and the small one does not need to be treated to prevent infection caused by abrasion; The big one can be punctured with a needle, and the liquid in the bubble will flow out, coated with gentian violet liquid and covered with disinfectant dressing to prevent infection.
