Precautions for Scraping Therapy
I. Precautions Before Scraping
1. Scraping therapy requires the skin to be exposed, and the pores of the skin will open during scraping. If exposed to wind and cold, pathogenic factors can directly enter the body through the open pores, affecting the effectiveness of scraping therapy and easily causing new diseases. Therefore, choose a good treatment place before scraping, with fresh and ventilated air, pay attention to keeping warm, avoid wind, and do not scrape in places with drafts in the summer. Try to expose as little skin as possible.
2. Choose a comfortable scraping position to facilitate scraping and prevent dizziness from scraping.
3. The scraping tool must be strictly disinfected to prevent cross-infection. Before scraping, carefully check the scraping tool to avoid skin damage.
4. The hands of the practitioner should also be disinfected.
5. Before scraping, explain the general knowledge of scraping to the patient, eliminate their fear, and gain their cooperation to avoid dizziness from scraping.
6. Do not perform scraping treatment on patients who are too hungry, too full, or excessively nervous.
II. Precautions During Scraping
1. The scraping technique should be evenly applied with appropriate force, and should be tolerable, until the appearance of sha (reddish marks on the skin).
2. For infants and the elderly, the scraping technique should be gentle.
3. Do not blindly pursue the appearance of sha and use heavy-handed techniques or prolong the scraping time. The amount of sha is influenced by many factors. Generally, blood stasis syndrome produces more sha; excess syndrome and heat syndrome produce more sha; deficiency syndrome and cold syndrome produce less sha; excessive medication, especially the use of hormonal drugs, makes it difficult to produce sha; obese and muscly individuals produce less sha; yin meridians produce less sha compared to yang meridians; it is difficult to produce sha in low room temperatures.
4. During the scraping process, frequently inquire about the patient's feelings. If dizziness occurs, such as fatigue, dizziness, pale complexion, nausea, cold sweats, palpitations, cold limbs, or a decrease in blood pressure and loss of consciousness, immediately stop scraping. Comfort the patient and avoid tension, help them lie down, pay attention to keeping warm, and drink warm water or sugar water. If the symptoms do not improve, lightly press the angles of the scraping tool against the water ditch acupoint, avoiding swelling after pressing with too much force. Apply the purging scraping method to the bai hui and yong quan points. After the patient's condition improves, continue scraping the nei guan and zu san li points.
III. Precautions After Scraping
1. Scraping therapy promotes sweating and the elimination of pathogenic factors through the pores of the skin, and consumes some of the body's fluid. Therefore, after scraping therapy, drink a cup of warm water and rest for a while.
2. After scraping therapy, in order to avoid the invasion of wind and cold pathogenic factors, the skin pores should be closed and restored to their original state before bathing, which usually takes about 3 hours.
3. For patients with complex and critical conditions, in addition to scraping therapy, other treatments should be used in conjunction, such as medication, to avoid delaying the condition.
Who is Not Suitable for Scraping Therapy
1. Patients with bleeding tendencies should avoid or use scraping therapy with caution. For example, patients with thrombocytopenic disorders, allergic purpura, leukemia, etc., should not use purging scraping therapy and should use tonifying or balanced purging scraping therapy instead.
2. For critically ill patients, such as acute infectious diseases, severe heart diseases, immediate hospitalization for observation and treatment is necessary. If there are no other options, scraping therapy can be temporarily used for emergency treatment to buy time and treatment opportunities.
3. Newly occurring fractures should not be scraped until the fracture heals. Scraping should also be avoided on surgical scars until two months later. Scraping should be done with caution on scar sites after surgery for malignant tumors.
4. Infectious skin diseases, such as abscesses, boils, scars, ulcers, sexually transmitted skin diseases, and unknown lumps on the skin, should not be directly scraped.
5. The lower abdomen of the elderly, fasting individuals, and menstruating women, as well as the face of women, should not be extensively purged by scraping.
6. People who are afraid of or allergic to scraping should not use this therapy.
7. Pregnant women and women during menstruation should not have their lower abdomen and acupoints such as the san yin jiao, he gu, and zu san li scraped. The scraping technique should be gentle and tonifying.

Can Men Strengthen Yang by Drinking Honey Water
Drinking honey water for men has a very weak tonic and yang-strengthening effect, and it is not immediate.
1. The nutritional composition of honey is very complex, especially natural honey contains a large number of plant male reproductive cells, and it contains a special endocrine substance that is similar to pituitary hormones. Therefore, long-term use of honey can activate the activity of the gonads.
2. In addition, it may be unknown to many people that the sugar in natural honey is easily absorbed by the body. The rich sugar and protein in honey can be quickly absorbed by the body. These beneficial substances enter the body, which is beneficial for the formation of semen.
