Enlarged pores after cupping

Cupping is a relatively practical Chinese physical therapy method. Cupping can expel moisture and cold air from the human body through the breathing of the pores. It is also because of this that people feel very warm after cupping. Of course, the discharge of evil spirits and poisonous gases through the pores can also cause the pores on the surface of the human skin to become enlarged. Let’s take a look at what to do if your pores become enlarged after cupping.

   After cupping, the pores will open, that is, the pores will become larger. At this time, no treatment is needed, the pores will slowly shrink and return to normal. Furthermore, if you find that the pores are very large after cupping, and you feel itchy at the cupping site during the process, it means that there is wind evil in the body. However, large pores will also close on their own, in about 8 hours at the fastest and 1 to 2 days at the slowest.

   Many people are concerned about the issue of enlarged pores after cupping, because most people find that after cupping, all the pores at the cupping location are opened. You don’t have to worry about enlarged pores after cupping. It is normal. This is caused by pressure because the cup needs to be adsorbed on your skin.

   After the cup is adsorbed onto your skin, the pores need to open so that the cold and moisture in your body can be discharged from the body through the dilated pores. Therefore, enlarged pores after cupping are a normal phenomenon, and generally speaking, they will return to their original state within 8 hours. After cupping, everyone must keep warm, otherwise evil wind will enter the body through the open pores.
