Many people may think that the bruises left on the back of cupping are toxins excreted from the body, but relevant experts have come out to deny the rumors.

In fact, people's understanding is completely wrong. The reason for the red congestion on the back after a meal is the rupture of the posterior capillaries and the large negative pressure in the tank, which leads to the rupture and congestion of the blood vessels.

For those with thin stratum corneum, fair complexion, and fragile capillaries, a little cupping will cause a large amount of congestion on the back and a small amount of blood oozing out. For those with thick stratum corneum, dark skin, and elasticity, even if cupping a few times, congestion will form on the back. Still not big.

Congestion in the back of cupping is a toxin that is excreted by the body. This claim is a complete rumor. Although cupping can reduce the burden and pressure of the body, but also pay attention to the methods and methods.

Although cupping can get many benefits, the body can be properly adjusted, and the produced moisture and harmful substances can be discharged, but not everyone is suitable for cupping and needs to meet their own conditions. If you have skin health problems, blind cupping will irritate the skin, aggravate the damage, and make it more difficult to improve the original disease.

It is necessary to ensure that the skin is intact, without trauma or infectious skin diseases, and through cupping regulation, it can promote local blood circulation and reduce the excretion of harmful substances and water produced by the body.

As a result, many people do not completely subside while cupping. This method is incorrect. Repeated stimulation of the same area can also have a certain effect on the body's skin. Therefore, it is recommended that cupping not be repeated in a short period of time.

4. Don't take a shower right away

Cupping is the process of removing cold and moist air from the body. Bathing is not recommended within 24 hours after cupping. After cupping, the pores of the body are extremely open. At this time, taking a bath can easily lead to a large amount of cold water invading the body, damaging the health of the skin and making the body cold.
