Following cupping suction therapy, your body will be in a recovery period. The most common mistake is subjecting your skin to cold right away. This includes cold showers, air conditioning or being outside in cold weather without being well covered. Your skin is wide open and exposure to cold can trigger aches and pains or illness.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s also important to avoid exercise. While you may feel relaxed and at peace due to the benefits of cupping, your muscles are stimulated and need to recover. This will exacerbate pain or reduce the effects of the treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

And don’t consume alcohol or caffeine after the treatment. You are detoxifying and these can slow it down. Instead, have warm water or herbal tea.<\/span><\/p>\n
