Can I do cupping on a rainy day?

On rainy days, try not to do cupping. Cupping mainly uses a cup as a tool, and mainly utilizes methods such as burning fire and pumping air to generate negative pressure, which is adsorbed on people's body surface, causing local blood stasis. This can play a good role in reducing swelling, relieving pain, dispelling wind and cold, etc. After cupping, the pores are opened and moisture from outside can easily enter. On rainy days, there are more evil spirits, especially moisture, dryness, and heat, which may enter people's bodies at any time, which will not only affect the efficacy of the treatment, but also cause new diseases due to exposure to wind and cold. On rainy days, we recommend that you choose massage or moxibustion to solve the problem.

Within 24 hours after cupping, try not to come into contact with cold water to avoid increasing moisture in the body.
