Storage and Shelf Life:
- Follow physician’s guidance; store away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place.

Understanding Cupping:
- Cups placed on acupoints create a suction effect, aiding Qi and blood flow, meridian unblocking, and disease treatment.
Therapeutic Effects:

- Balances Yin-Yang, relieves fatigue, and enhances constitution.
Post-Cupping Care:

- Notify physician or therapist if adverse symptoms like lightheadedness or nausea occur.
