How long can I take a bath after acupuncture cupping?

After acupuncture cupping, take a bath at intervals of 2 to 6 hours.

Acupuncture can destroy the barrier of skin mucosa and form pinholes. It takes a certain time for the pinholes to heal after acupuncture. It usually takes 4 to 6 hours for the pinholes to close. If you take a bath before the pinholes heal, bacteria/viruses may enter the body and cause infection. Therefore, take a bath at intervals of 4 to 6 hours. Cupping can open the pores and usually takes 2 to 4 hours for the pores to close. If you take a bath before they close, it is easy for the body to catch cold, cough, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other discomfort symptoms.
