Before the Session
Before the Cupping Session
Tips for the patient before attending a cupping session: Before the session, the patient is advised to follow these general instructions, also common in acupuncture and other body-interactive therapies:
- 1
Avoid eating for at least one hour before the session, and refrain from physical exercise or taking a hot bath.
- 2
Prepare a list of any medications taken during the past week.
- 3
Bring available medical test results or imaging, and inform the practitioner of any chronic or contagious diseases.
- 4
It is recommended to drink water or natural fluids the day before the session, as this helps rebalance body fluids, restore muscle activity, and maintain skin health.
