What are the precautions after scraping and cupping

Nowadays, many people choose scraping and cupping when facing some illnesses. Although scraping and cupping are two treatment methods, they are usually connected, or performed at the same time. We all know that scraping and cupping are quite particular, and both have many things that deserve our attention. So what are the precautions after scraping and cupping? Let’s take a look below.

Precautions after scraping

1. Avoid taking a cold shower within 30 minutes after scraping.

2. Try not to drink alcohol or eat spicy food after scraping, and avoid eating raw, cold fruits and greasy food.

3. Before the sha on the scraping area disappears, it is not advisable to scrape the same area again to produce sha.

4. After the sha appears, you can drink a cup of warm water (preferably light sugar and salt water) and rest for half an hour.

5. Don’t get angry after scraping, keep calm.

6. If you feel any discomfort after scraping, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Precautions after cupping

1. Do not take a bath within eight hours after cupping, because the skin cells are in an open state after cupping, and taking a bath will inevitably bring a lot of moisture into the body, which will be counterproductive.

It is best not to use hair dryer or air conditioning on that day. The principle is the same as taking a shower.

2. After cupping, pay special attention to the hygiene and dryness of the bed sheets when sleeping. Because the skin is in a very fragile state at this time, if the sheets are not hygienic and dry enough, it can easily cause skin allergies.

The precautions after cupping and scraping have been clearly stated above. There are many things that deserve your attention after cupping and scraping. Don’t think that you can do anything after cupping and scraping. In fact, it is not like this. No matter what we do, there are always some things worth paying attention to after finishing it. Gua Sha and cupping are no exception, so I hope everyone can see it clearly.
