Scraping Techniques for Head, Face, Neck, Back, Chest, Abdomen, and Limbs

December 4, 2023

1. Head

The head is covered with hair. Use the scraping method above the hair without applying scraping lubricant. To enhance the scraping effect, you can use the thin edge or corner of the scraping board to scrape each area about 30 times until there is a warming sensation on the scalp.

Temples: Use the corner of the scraping board to scrape from front to back or from top to bottom on the temples.

Sides of the head: Place the scraping board vertically from the temple to the sideburns, and scrape from the hairline above the ear to the back hairline.

Top of the head: Divide the top of the head with the Baihui acupoint, and scrape from the hairline on the forehead to the Baihui acupoint, from left to right.

Back of the head: Scrape from the Baihui acupoint down to the hairline at the back of the neck, from left to right. Use the corner of the scraping board to scrape at the Fengchi acupoint.

The head can also be scraped in a radial pattern from the Baihui acupoint towards the surrounding areas.

2. Face

Scrape the face in the direction of the muscles, from the inside to the outside. Since the face is for aesthetic purposes, the technique should be gentle, avoiding large areas of scraping with heavy pressure. Scrape only with the consent of the person for the treatment of eye, mouth, ear, and nose diseases. The pressure, direction, angle, and frequency of scraping should be based on convenience and the patient's tolerance.

3. Back of the neck

The back of the neck has six yang meridians passing through it. Regularly scraping the back of the neck can nourish Yin, invigorate Yang, and strengthen the body's vitality, thereby preventing and treating diseases.

4. Back

Scrape the back from top to bottom. Start by scraping the Du meridian in the middle of the back, then scrape the bladder meridians on both sides and the Jiaji points. For the shoulders, scrape from the neck to the shoulder peaks on both sides. When using holographic scraping, first use local massage on the sensitive tender points along the Du meridian and near the bladder meridians, and then scrape the meridians in the acupoint area from top to bottom.

5. Chest

Scrape from the Tianfu acupoint on the midline of the chest to the Renzhong acupoint, using the corner of the scraping board to scrape from top to bottom. Divide the sides of the chest with the midline of the body and scrape along the ribs from the inside to the outside, avoiding the nipple area (start with the left side before the right side). Use the corner of the scraping board to scrape the Zhongfu acupoint from top to bottom.

6. Abdomen

Scrape the abdomen from top to bottom. Use the entire edge or one-third of the edge of the scraping board, scraping from the left side to the right side. For those with prolapsed organs, scrape from the bottom to the top.

7. Limbs

Scrape the limbs from the proximal end to the distal end. For patients with varicose veins and swelling in the lower limbs, scrape from the end of the limbs to the proximal end. Reduce the pressure on protruding joints and bones accordingly.
