拔罐顏色反映身體狀況
拔罐是中醫傳統養生療法之一，以罐為工具，利用燃燒或其它方法令罐內形成負壓，吸附在身體特定部位，造成局部皮膚充血，以通行氣血，扶助正氣及祛除體內的病邪。常見用於疏通經絡、緩減痛症及驅寒祛濕的作用，以達到防病及治病的功效。由於適合處理肌肉僵硬及酸痛問題，近年不少外國運動員都喜歡運動後進行拔罐。
拔罐時中醫師多會選擇肌肉較厚及沒有毛髮的部位，例如肩胛、腰、背、腹部等，而每次拔罐不宜超過十分鐘。一般拔罐過程都由中醫師或專業治療師進行，亦有人在家自行拔罐，但建議還是先由中醫師辨證論治才進行拔罐，效果更佳。
進行拔罐後，皮膚會留下不同顏色的罐印，可以從顏色判斷當時的身體狀態。
黑色：體內有瘀血，氣血不通，多數出現在有痛症或操勞一族身上。
鮮紅色：熱邪或陰虛火旺體質所致，亦可能與勞損、捱夜有關。
微紅色：氣血循環良好。
灰白色：體內氣血不足。
有水泡或罐內有水滴：濕氣重。
雖然拔罐可防病治病，但注意以下幾類人士不宜進行拔罐，包括孕婦、患有心臟病、血液病、皮膚病及凝血功能差的人士、氣虛體質人士、醉酒、過度疲勞、熬夜後、過飽或過饑狀態人士也不適宜。
