It is not recommended to do cupping by yourself, it should be operated by a professional doctor.
Cupping is a therapeutic method that uses burning, suction and squeezing to generate negative pressure inside the canister, which is adsorbed on the surface of the skin. It has the effects of dredging the meridians and collaterals, reducing swelling and relieving pain (eliminating swelling and pain), and revitalizing blood circulation and removing blood stasis (promoting blood circulation and eliminating stagnation of blood in the body).
If you perform cupping by yourself, you are prone to burns or other accidents, causing certain risks. In addition, cupping is a benign stimulation of the skin and acupoints of the human body. If you perform cupping by yourself, you may choose the wrong acupoints due to the lack of recognition of acupoints or incorrect operation methods, which will ultimately have adverse effects on the human body.
Therefore, if you need cupping, you should go to a regular hospital, after identification of acupuncture points, operated by a professional doctor, do not operate on your own to avoid risks.
