Health scraping is an effective method for preventing diseases and protecting health. This method focuses on the overall regulation of the body, regulating the organs and meridians, promoting blood circulation, balancing yin and yang, and enhancing the body's physiological functions and healing abilities. Health scraping also strengthens metabolism and promotes the elimination of toxins in the body, effectively treating potential diseases in advance, and achieving the effect of disease prevention. During the process of health scraping, by observing the reactions of the meridians and holographic acupoints, and the appearance of scrapes, one can discover the weaknesses of one's own constitution, potential diseases, and early diagnose diseases.
Health scraping generally uses a scraper with a thick concave edge. For areas with thick skin or the scalp, a scraper with a thin convex edge can be used. Health scraping is usually performed directly on the skin or over clothing, without the use of lubricants. The scraping is done until the local skin becomes warm or flushed, without the need for scrapes to appear. During the scraping process, if a certain meridian or local area is found to be painful, it indicates varying degrees of obstruction of qi and blood in the meridian, which manifests as hypoxia. Lubricants can be applied to this area, and the scraping technique for treating scraping can be used. The intensity of the scraping technique in health scraping is determined based on the individual's constitution and tolerance. For those with deficiency syndrome and poor tolerance, tonifying scraping technique is used, while others use neutral scraping technique. Health scraping can also be performed during each bathing session, as the pores are expanded after bathing, and the scraping effect is enhanced when done before the skin is fully dry.
