How to Take Good Care After Cupping? Do's & Don'ts After Cupping.
Cupping is a tried-and-tested treatment that is comfortable, safe, and beneficial for a variety of diseases. The gentle suction that is created by cupping relaxes and lifts connective tissues which increase the flow of lymph and blood to your muscles and skin. To reap the best benefits of cupping, it is essential to follow certain rules.
What should you do follow after the cupping massage or cupping:
Take a large amount of water.
Water assists in flushing your lymphatic system of cell waste that cupping can help remove from your tissues.Keep warm.
Make sure you cover the area(s) that you received the cupping.Rest.
It is possible that you feel exhausted than normal or have flu-like symptoms when you cup (headache or other general pains). It is a temporary response from your immune system to cells that the cupping process helps to release.
What to avoid after cupping or a massage with cupping:
For 4-6 hours post cupping, avoid exposure to:
Alcohol, caffeinated beverages as well as sugary drinks and food dairy products, processed meats
These food items can hinder the body's ability to process the treatment.Saunas, hot showers, hot tubs, as well as strong air conditioning
After the cupping process, your skin will become more sensitive to changes in the regions in which your cups are placed. Allow your skin to heal. If you can, shower with purified water to avoid the risk of introducing unwanted chemicals to your skin.Intense exercise
Conditions of wind and cold.
How do you prepare for cupping or cupping massage?
Hydrate. Hydration is crucial for health, and especially the lymphatic organs. Cupping can help support the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps eliminate cell waste from your body, and it requires plenty of fluids to accomplish this effectively.
Have a meal about an hour prior to your appointment.
Do not cut the area in the first four hours of the appointment. Your therapist will not like stubble, as well. Your skin is sure to appreciate it.
Recovery from sunburn. If you experience cupping, you will appear as if the area is warmer than usual. The cup and the additional heat will feel comfortable on skin that has been burned by the sun. Apply some aloe Vera and ensure that your skin is healed prior to your next cupping appointment.
Don't over-exfoliate your skin too much. Exfoliating takes away a layer of dead skin, making your skin more sensitive. It is recommended to wait a couple of days following an aggressive exfoliation procedure prior to receiving cupping therapy.
How can we get the marks from the cupping to disappear more quickly:
After the cupping process, your skin will show circular marks that range in shades of pink to deep purple or red. Some people may think it looks like you were fighting an Octopus. Don't be ashamed to wear those badges! You're doing something good in your own body.
The discolorations caused by cupping will fade. Some fade after a short time, whereas others may take as long as two weeks before completely disappearing. The discolorations are a result of your body's overall health at the moment of cupping.
If you'd like the marks to fade quicker made by cupping therapy, you should do two things: drink lots of water and take plenty of rest.
Each body's respond to cupping in it's own way. If you have questions prior to or following the cupping session you can call us for a consultation with a licensed therapist.
