Steam cupping is an alternative medical technique that involves placing hot cups on the skin to cause local congestion.The effectiveness of cupping has not been well studied and scientifically proven, but people often use this technique to treat chronic pain. Athletes are often used to treat sports injuries and muscle pain. You should not be self-absorbed, but you can learn to breathe slightly for others.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Hygiene and cupping

1. 

   Obtain the patient's consent before breathing. You need to let the client know that gas sensation will cause pain and bruising before they agree to treatment. The hot cups will cause pain when they come into contact with the patient's skin, which will then leave round, painful, palpable bruises that last for a week.

   Note: Some people think that you should only let the acupuncturist do the inhalation, but others believe that you should be able to sense breath at home. Make sure your client feels comfortable with you, especially if you are not well trained.

   
   

2. 

   Identify areas of your body that need to be treated. Focus on places where the patient feels pain. The back, arms, and legs are good areas for breathing. Do not feel gas on your face or genitals, feet or hands. You should also avoid sores or deep vein thrombosis. Steam awareness in these positions is very dangerous.
   • Avoid cupping if the patient has a blood clotting disorder or is taking anticoagulants, as gas can cause blood to clot. If they are unsure, ask them to consult their doctor first.

3. 

   
   
   Wash the area slightly with soap and water. Use a soapy washcloth to clean the area to be treated. Wash off soap with water, then dry the area with a clean towel.
   • Consider shaving where it needs to be slightly. The suction generated by this procedure can pull hair on the skin and cause pain.

4. 

   Apply body oil to your skin. Squeeze some body oil over the area to be treated and smooth it over. The body oil will make it easier to move the cup during treatment.

5. 

   
   
   Wash the cup with hot water and soap. To make sure the cup is clean before use, wash it with hot water and soap. The beaker is usually made of glass, with a capacity of about 60-120 ml. They can be washed in a dishwasher, so you can put them in the dishwasher if you have one.
   • You can also use a silicon cup or a plastic cup.
   • Cup with narrow mouth better than wide mouth cup.
   • Make sure the cup is dry before use.

Part 2 of 4: Warming cup

1. 

   Soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol. Using long medical tweezers, pick up a sterile cotton ball. Soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol, allowing the alcohol to soak into the cotton ball.
   • You can use other flammable materials instead of cotton. Some popular options are paper and dried herbs.
   • Use a tissue to blot excess alcohol on the cotton ball to avoid dripping.

2. 

   Use tweezers to hold the cotton ball and light it on fire. Use a long tweezers to hold the cotton ball, and light it with a lighter or candle. Be sure to keep the alcohol dish away from this area to avoid catching the alcohol in the dish igniting.
   • Be sure to close the lid of the alcohol bottle before igniting the cotton ball. Failure to cap the alcohol bottle can cause a fire.
   • Keep other flammable materials away from the workplace to reduce the risk of ignition.
   • If the fire burns out of control, use a bottle of incombustible material over the fire to cut off the oxygen supply.

3. 

   Put a burning cotton ball into the cup. Remove the cotton ball about 3 seconds after heating it, or whenever the glass feels warm to the touch. The flame will burn all the oxygen in the cup and create a suction force on the patient's skin. The glass should still be cool enough for you to hold with your bare hands.
   • Do not overheat the cup to avoid burning you or the patient.
   • If you need to use more than one cup, use tweezers to hold the cotton ball throughout the treatment. Do not put down the cotton ball until all cups are pressed against the patient's skin. If you are using only one cup, you can drop the cotton ball into the cup and let it burn. Rinse the cup thoroughly before pressing it against your skin.
   • Working with fire can be dangerous. Place a bowl of water by the side to put out the fire when necessary, and be sure to work on a fireproof surface instead of a wooden table!

Part 3 of 4: Press cup against skin

1. 

   Press the top of the warmed cup against the skin. As soon as you remove the burning cotton ball, immediately turn it upside down and place it on the area to be treated. After a second, release your hand and the cup will stick on your skin. As the cup cools, the space inside the cup forms a vacuum. This vacuum creates a strong enough suction force to attach the cup to the skin.
   • If you are sensing slightly on the patient's back, ask them to lie on their stomach. If you need to feel slightly on your legs or arms, let them sit in a comfortable position.
   • The skin at the top of the cup will be sucked into the cup.

2. 

   Work with cups one at a time until all cups have been placed. Heat each cup and turn it upside down and press it against the skin. The cups should be spaced evenly across the treatment area, a few centimeters apart.
   • For joints with joints, you need a small 60ml cup.
   • For a large area use a large 125 ml cup.

3. 

   Fire extinguisher. After you have heated and placed all the cups, you will put out the fire by dropping a cotton ball into the refractory jar. Close the lid to allow the flame to turn off. If the flame is quite small, you can blow it out, or immerse it in water.

4. 

   Let the cup sit for 10-20 minutes. Leave the cup on your skin for 10-20 minutes, until the skin underneath the cup begins to turn red to purple. You will then remove the cup by simply lifting it. If the suction is causing the patient too much pain, you should remove the cup earlier. advertisement

Part 4 of 4: Recovering from feeling a little

1. 

   Seek medical attention if the bruise persists after a week. Giac slightly always leaves round bruises. Usually, the bruise caused by a sense of sensation is not too painful. It will go away on its own within three to four days without treatment, but can take up to a week. If the bruise doesn't fade after a week or gets worse, see your doctor.

2. 

   Protect the blistering area. Although rare, feeling slightly blistering can cause mild blistering. To protect the blister as it heals, use tape to protect the blister. Cut a hole in the tape to shape the donut, and stick it over the blister. This will prevent the garment from touching the blister during recovery.

3. 

   Give the patient adequate fluids and avoid strenuous activity. After taking breath, make sure you have enough water during the recovery process. Let the patient drink plenty of fluids. Some people recommend waiting for a while before strenuous exercise, but athletes enjoy feeling a bit right before a match day.
   • It depends on the patient what procedure is right for them.

4. 

   Ensure patient is not exposed to heat for 24 hours after being exposed to steam. Steam baths, hot tubs, and sunbathing can make steam bruises worse, so it's important to remind your client of this. Heat can slow the healing of a bruise.

5. 

   Sense not more than once a week. Steam can be performed periodically, but too much is not good for health. Initially, you should only take a breath once a week, and only increase it a few times if you feel comfortable. Remember that the maximum time for each cupping session is about 10 minutes.
   • If the patient is an athlete, do not catch the breath immediately before the race or competition. Changing the cycle of their sense slightly can cause them to lose their form and hurt. Instead, keep a regular schedule so that your body doesn't get shocked by a major event.

Advice

• If the sensation works slightly for you, invest in a vacuum aspirator kit. This kit includes special cups and air aspirators to create a vacuum without the use of fire.

Warning

• The "wet" sense of sensation, a variation of the sense of steam, requires a blood extraction and should only be performed by a specialist. Never do it yourself at home. This procedure is dangerous and there is no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness.
• Working with fire can be dangerous. Have something ready to put out the fire, like water, sand, or a fire extinguisher.
• Close the bottle of alcohol after use to avoid fire!
• Do not feel vapors on wood surfaces, as wood can catch fire.
• Perception has not been scientifically proven to be effective. Some people find it effective, but there are no guarantees.
