People like to use scraping as a method of health care. In fact, scraping has many benefits. But what should we pay attention to after scraping? Today, I will talk about the precautions after scraping, the benefits of scraping, and the people who should avoid scraping.
Precautions after scraping
1. Avoid wind and keep warm
Scraping should be done in a wind-free environment and attention should be paid to keeping warm. When the room temperature is low, try to minimize the exposed areas. In summer, do not scrape in front of a fan or in a place with convection wind. When scraping, the sweat pores on the skin are open, so if exposed to cold wind, the evil qi can directly enter the body through the open pores, which not only affects the effectiveness of scraping, but also may cause new diseases due to catching a cold.
2. Drink a cup of hot water after scraping
During the scraping process, sweat and evil qi are expelled, which consumes some of the body's fluids. Drinking a cup of hot water after scraping can not only replenish the consumed fluids, but also promote metabolism and accelerate the elimination of metabolic waste.
Drinking a cup of hot water after scraping is a very good choice as it helps to promote metabolism. After scraping, the following should also be noted.
3. Timing of bathing after scraping
After scraping treatment, in order to avoid invasion of cold wind, the skin pores need to close and return to their original state before bathing, which usually takes about 3 hours. However, during the bathing process, scraping can be done while the water droplets are not yet dry. Because the pores are slightly open during bathing, scraping at this time will be more effective, but attention should be paid to keeping warm.
4. Do not scrape the same area immediately after scraping
Before the sha marks of the previous scraping session have faded, it is not advisable to scrape the same area again. The interval between consecutive scraping sessions should be 3-6 days, and the fading of sha marks on the skin should be used as the standard. Additional scraping can be done during this time to strengthen the effect of sha mark fading.
5. Dietary regulation after detoxification through scraping
During the scraping period, the diet should be light and avoid excessive consumption of oily and heavy foods. Targeted dietary regulation of the viscera and nutrition should also be considered.
Everyone knows that scraping is good for the body, but what are the specific benefits? Let's take a look.
Benefits of scraping
1. Promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis
Scraping can regulate the contraction and relaxation of muscles, adjust the pressure between tissues, and promote blood circulation around the scraped area. This increases tissue flow and has the effects of "activating blood circulation" and "removing blood stasis and promoting new blood formation".
2. Disease prevention and health care
Scraping on the back has a good therapeutic effect on painful diseases, colds and fevers, sub-health conditions, preventive health care, and mild dysfunction of the viscera.
