Can I do scraping and cupping during breastfeeding?

For a woman, getting married and having children are very important things in her life. Women who are breastfeeding have weaker constitutions and are more vulnerable to external bacteria, so breastfeeding women should learn to protect themselves better. Everyone knows that it is not recommended for breastfeeding women to take medication. If they have a headache or fever, we recommend the use of traditional Chinese medicine. Scraping and cupping are also very effective for breastfeeding women, but they must keep warm.

Gua Sha is a method of expelling blood stasis attached to the capillary walls, which is then absorbed and circulated throughout the body, with the waste being excreted through urine. Gua Sha is good at removing blood stasis. Indications: cold, fever, heat stroke, headache, gastrointestinal disease, stiff neck, cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of shoulder, lumbar muscle strain, muscle cramps, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. When you suffer from heatstroke or a cold, you can scrape the bladder meridian on your back. For painful areas, you can scrape the painful points and the surrounding areas, following the meridians, and scrape wherever it hurts.

Cupping can be used to both replenish and drain. To make up for it, you just need to use fewer tanks and concentrate the air in one place. If you want to nourish the kidneys, just cupping the Shenshu points; if you want to nourish the stomach, cupping the Zhongwan and Zusanli points. If you pull out too many places, it will disperse the Qi and blood, fail to achieve the replenishing effect, and waste the Qi and blood in vain. If the back is pulled up, it mainly introduces qi and blood into the bladder meridian, playing a diuretic and detoxifying role. But this is very disadvantageous for people with weak qi and blood.

However, it is also important to note that scraping and cupping also have a certain impact on the body's vitality. After the toxins in the body are removed, the body's vitality cannot be replenished quickly, which may lead to physical weakness. Therefore, you must drink more warm boiled water after cupping. This can replenish the body's lost water, and it is also very effective in faster excretion of toxins accumulated in the body.
