A:  Always ensure your cups are completely dry before applying a high-level disinfectant. Your disinfectant should include 2% glutaraldehyde, 7.5% hydrogen peroxide, 0.2% peracetic acid, 2-7% enhanced action formulation hydrogen peroxide and 0.55% ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA). In this solution, your cups must be left to soak for a minimum of 30 minutes. After they’ve completed their soaking, rinse them off once again and let them dry.

Although cupping is a safe treatment, there can be a small number of undesirable and unpleasant side effects with subsequent treatment or after treatment but bruising is normal and frequent. The bruising is the evidence of the stagnation of blood in the bodily tissues that surfaces during treatment. . Even though the cups work on the surface of the body, they can sometimes bake small blood vessels in the treated area and create hematomas.
