Ormond Beach Day Spa Cupping Tips

Are you new to cupping therapy? When it comes to cupping, there are some important tips to follow to ensure you get the most out of your treatment. Learn some of the dos and don’ts of cupping therapy below.

The Dos

After completing a cupping session, the following are two important things to do. These tips will help you make the most of your treatment and feel better faster.

Stay Hydrated

Cupping stimulates the lymphatic drainage system to remove waste and toxins from your body. To help that process along, you should be well-hydrated. Increase your water intake in the days following your cupping session to flush the toxins out more efficiently.

Get Plenty of Rest

After a cupping therapy session at an Ormond Beach day spa, your body goes into cleansing mode. The toxins and harmful bacteria are being flushed from your system, which can cause fatigue. To assist your lymphatic system and maintain energy, ensure you get enough sleep. 

The Don’ts

Below are two important things to avoid if you want your cupping therapy to be successful. 

Don’t Take Hot Showers and Baths

One of the benefits of cupping is that it opens your pores and stimulates muscle tissue. Exposure to extreme heat can damage your pores and tissues at this sensitive time. This can result in aches and discomfort. In the days following your treatment, you will need to avoid excessive heat, such as hot showers or baths.

Decrease Caffeine Consumption

After your Ormond Beach day spa cupping treatment, you should avoid caffeine consumption for several days. This is because caffeine's effects can counteract the beneficial effects of your cupping treatment. During this time, limit your intake of coffee, tea, and other sources of caffeine.
