Patient's question:
After cupping, I saw in the newspaper that you shouldn't take a cold shower. So, how many hours after cupping can I take a hot shower? Can I use mugwort at home after cupping?Doctor's answer:
Hello;Generally, it is not advisable to take a shower within 3 hours after cupping.
Precautions for cupping:
During cupping, maintain fresh air and moderate temperature in the room. In summer, avoid direct wind from fans, and in winter, ensure proper indoor warmth. For patients who need to remove clothing to expose their skin, they should be kept away from drafts to prevent catching a cold. Pay attention to cleanliness and disinfection. The practitioner's hands and the cupping areas on the patient's body should be kept clean or conventionally disinfected. Cupping tools must be conventionally disinfected.
