Will cupping for weight loss cause rebound? Is cupping for weight loss harmful?

Cupping is a very popular way of losing weight for lazy people. If you don’t want to exercise, it’s actually a good idea to lose weight through cupping. But if you lose weight through cupping, will the weight rebound?

There is a possibility of rebound after cupping. As a weight loss therapy in traditional Chinese medicine, cupping can achieve the purpose of weight loss to a certain extent. However, if you do not pay attention to your diet and lifestyle habits after cupping, there is a possibility of rebound.

When cupping, the sweat pores on our body are open, and the degree of opening is relatively large. At this time, the sweat glands and sebaceous glands in our body will be greatly enhanced due to external stimulation, so that some aging cells on the surface of our skin will fall off faster. In addition, toxins and waste in our body will be discharged faster, and the purpose of weight loss will be achieved. When cupping, the blood circulation in our body will be accelerated, and the gastrointestinal motility will be faster, which is very helpful for our body's digestion, so it can remove excess fat from our body. This way of losing weight only stimulates the stomach by stimulating the acupuncture points, which reduces your appetite, and after this stimulation disappears, the amount of food eaten will increase, causing people to gain weight again.

Cupping for weight loss is generally harmless under normal operation. If it is not performed properly, the following disadvantages may occur:

1. Bruising

When cupping, due to negative pressure, local muscles are squeezed, causing red blood cells to rupture and dark purple congestion to appear on the epidermis. Normally, it will disappear in 3-7 days.

2. Blisters

This is mainly caused by improper operation, cupping for too long, skin lesions and tissue fluid leakage.

3. Burns

This is caused by putting too much alcohol in the cupping jar and dripping it onto the skin. It can be avoided by standard operation.

4. Aggravate certain diseases

If the skin is allergic, inflamed, or has a local fracture, or has a tendency to bleed, cupping for weight loss will aggravate the condition.

1. You must go to the toilet every day after cupping to prevent constipation. A word of caution: If you are often constipated before cupping, then cupping is better to postpone, because if constipation is not resolved, it is difficult to succeed in losing weight, so you should first regulate the constipation problem before cupping.

2. Do not overeat at any time after cupping, whether it is a holiday or a cocktail party, otherwise fat will definitely come back to you.

3. Avoid not eating or drinking anything three hours before going to bed. This is the most important rule to nip weight loss rebound in the cradle. This rule also stipulates the time of dinner, that is, there must be a three-hour interval between dinner and bedtime.

4. Do not eat desserts, high-starch foods, spicy foods, fried foods, and high-salt foods for dinner. In short, plain food is best.

1. Cupping weight loss method should not be used for too long, otherwise it will easily lead to skin infection

Traditional Chinese medicine reminds friends who use cupping to lose weight that cupping varies according to the size of the cup, the material of the cup, and the strength of the negative pressure. However, it should be noted that the time from lighting the fire to sliding the cup to removing the cup should not exceed ten minutes under normal circumstances. The reason is that the principle of cupping to lose weight is not time, but negative pressure. For example, if the negative pressure is too high, blisters will appear if the cupping time is too long, which will damage the skin and even cause skin infection.

2. Do not take a shower immediately after using the cupping method

Experts remind that you should not take a shower immediately after cupping. After cupping, the human skin will be in a damaged state. If you take a shower at this time, it is easy to cause skin damage, inflammation, etc. If you take a cold shower, the pores of the skin are open, so it is easy to catch a cold.
