What is the blood that is sucked out after cupping?
Cupping is the use of the principle of concept of negative pressure, adsorbed in the epidermis of the capillaries rupture leading to congestion, not the body of the toxin, then why some people are lighter color, some color is darker, and even blisters appear? In fact, this situation is related to changes in blood flow in the body, nerves and blood vessels.
In fact, the reason for this situation is because of the difference in personal physical condition.
In the cupping process, due to the difference between the suction force in the can and the skin state and the time of cupping, it will cause the color to appear different shades, which is a normal physiological reaction, not a toxin pulled out by the body.

╭Cannot be repeated cupping in the same part╯
Cupping cannot be repeated in the same area. Some people cupping fires find special skin changes in the local area and feel that toxins are being excreted from the body.
