Fire therapy is not suitable for anyone to do.

Dr. Mo Xiaofeng, deputy chief physician of the acupuncture department at Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that usually, if done properly, it shouldn't pose too much of a health hazard, but this kind of so-called fire therapy is rare in regular hospitals. "If it is in direct contact with the skin, there is more or less a safety issue. Even leaving aside safety, after doing something like fire cupping and moxibustion, the body's pores are open, which can easily lead to the invasion of wind and dampness."
