AFTER CARE FOR YOUR CUPPING MARKS

expectations:

  • May be sore for the first few days. It's okay to take over the counter pain meds to take the edge off.

  • Dark cup marks take up to 10 days to resolve, and shadows may linger a few weeks longer, but goes away with more cupping.

  • Skin may be itchy if cup marks were especially dark. Topical cacao butter seems to be the only thing that helps this.

aftercare:

  • Keep cupped area warm for 48 hours after treatment.

  • Make sure skin is covered, especially in the evening.

  • No swimming or sauna (because after getting out body will cool off too fast.) Why is this important? Because coldness on muscles that have just been cupped can cause muscles to spasm and we don't want that to happen

  • Be sure to relax and rest for the remainder of the day after treatment.

recommendations:

  • We recommend drinking warm lemon water before breakfast to encourage liver detox. Cupping can move a lot of "stuff", some of it needs a quick exit from the body, and warm lemon water helps with this process in general.
