It is not recommended to do fire cupping at home. The medically correct procedure for cupping is to choose a comfortable position to examine the skin, heat the fire can, snap it onto the skin, and cupping.
1. Choose a comfortable position to check the skin: let the patient choose a comfortable position, check the area to be cupped, there are contusions, lesions and ulcers can not be treated.
2. Heating the cupping pot: light the alcohol-soaked cotton ball and put it into the pot to heat it up and quickly expel the internal air to form negative pressure.
3. Buckle on the skin: Buckle the fire pot on the skin or acupoints and wait for about five minutes.
4. Cupping: Use a cotton swab to press the mouth of the can slightly, so that the gas enters it, and slowly pull down the fire can.
Fire cupping is dangerous, so you need to find a professional to operate, not to treat yourself at home, so as not to operate incorrectly to cause damage to the organism.
