Facial cupping is okay, but we recommend being cautious with cupping massage for the body during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. This is because cupping stimulates blood circulation very intensely and triggers the body’s elimination of waste products, which are excreted, in part, through breast milk, potentially harming the baby. It all depends on the woman’s health status, so it can work well for some. Depending on the treated area and health status. Consult with your doctor/therapist for safety. Many who have problems with restless legs during pregnancy experience relief from cupping. During pregnancy, it is advisable to avoid cupping on the abdominal and lower back areas.
