What Should You Know Before Wet Cupping Therapy?

Important points regarding medical history, medication use, hygiene and preparation before wet cupping.

Dr. Habib ALTIN1 min read

Wet cupping should be performed under appropriate medical and hygienic conditions after a physician assessment.

Share your medical history

Inform the physician about chronic conditions, bleeding disorders, fainting history, allergies, pregnancy and previous reactions to procedures.

Medication review is important

Blood thinners and other medicines may influence bleeding risk. Do not stop prescribed medication without consulting the prescribing physician.

Food and hydration

Preparation instructions may vary. Follow the specific guidance provided by the clinic rather than applying general advice without assessment.

Sterility and aftercare

Single-use sterile equipment and appropriate skin preparation are essential. The treated areas should be cared for according to the physician’s instructions.

Wet cupping is not suitable for everyone; suitability is determined after medical assessment.
