Why do I have全身 body aches after cupping?
Disease description:
Today I went to get cupping therapy with a friend. After returning home, I feel sore all over. I want to know why I'm experiencing body aches after cupping?
Generalized body aches after cupping may result from the skin at the cup site failing to quickly adapt to the pressure inside the cup, or from reapplying cups over an area where blisters from a previous session have not fully healed, causing pressure on the blistered skin. Individuals with naturally weak constitutions may experience aggravated deficiency of qi and blood during cupping, which can also lead to whole-body soreness. It is recommended that cupping be performed by a qualified healthcare professional to avoid skin damage.
