- Do not do this on an umbilical hernia – I am not sure if even a healed one should have this done, as the cup’s suction should be extremely tight to be effective.
- Do not do this a day past half moon going up or a day before half moon gong down – the moon phase is a powerful and not usually mentioned variable.(See another section).
- If a woman is bleeding, or quite pregnant. (I regularly do this immediately after IVF transfer as everyone seems to get so cold – or maybe it is just a function of their weakened yang). I say this as you need to be very senstive to what is normal and what is not in this therapy prior to starting in on everyone .
