Objective To administer a lower dose according to different indoor temperatures to give play to the effect of characteristic decoction cup hot compress and be able to save the cost of medicine. Method Twenty subjects were allocated, according to different indoor temperatures, to four groups, 5 cases each. Each subject received 10 sessions of decoction cupping with different doses. The decoction in all the cups was 45℃ before cupping. The temperature of decoction in the cups was measured after cupping. The average value of temperatures of the same doses at the same indoor temperature was calculated after cupping. The graph of average temperature curve of decoction in the cups was produced according to the indoor temperature after cupping with different doses. Finally obtained were the lowest doses of decoction with hot compress effect in the cup required at different indoor temperatures. Result To produce the effect of characteristic decoction cup hot compress, the decoction in the cup must be more than 55 mL in a indoor temperature of 10℃~14℃, more than 45 mL in a indoor temperature of 15℃~19℃ and more than 25 mL in a indoor temperature of 20℃~24℃. Only 20 mL of decoction was needed in indoor temperatures above 25℃. Conclusion A dose of decoction is flexibly selected according to a seasonal change in indoor temperature. That can not only have the effect of hot compress but also save the dosage.
