Scraping has many benefits, so many people now scrape when they have time to achieve health effects. Do you know the precautions for scraping? Since scraping has a significant impact on the body, we cannot be careless. Violating the taboos of scraping can also affect our health. Please see the details below!
Benefits of Scraping
Relieves pain
Scraping has a certain effect on relieving pain. For example, if you have a stiff neck, shoulder periarthritis, cervical spondylosis, or lumbar muscle strain, you can scrape to accelerate local blood circulation and relieve pain. Some people feel muscle soreness after exercise or leg soreness and swelling after prolonged standing or sitting, scraping can provide relief.
Promotes metabolism
Scraping can promote metabolism. If our metabolism is slow, our bodies will have problems, so this issue needs to be addressed promptly. When scraping, the skin temperature increases and blood circulation accelerates, which helps improve our metabolism. If scraping is only done occasionally, the effect of promoting metabolism will not be significant, so it should be done regularly.
People with slow metabolism may experience symptoms of easy weight gain because food cannot be digested and absorbed well after intake, and the body consumes very little energy, resulting in the conversion of food into fat stored in the body. Slow metabolism can also lead to physical fatigue, subhealth status, and even affect immunity.
Relaxes tendons and opens meridians
Scraping also has a significant effect on relaxing tendons and opening meridians. You will feel it after doing it once. Because scraping requires finding some acupoints and meridians on the body, there are certain techniques to scraping, so as to achieve the effect of relieving muscle tension and reducing pain. For example, scraping is beneficial for patients with shoulder periarthritis.
Not only for shoulder periarthritis, but also for more common cervical spondylosis and lumbar muscle strain. Patients can use scraping techniques to relieve discomfort. Although scraping cannot fundamentally cure these diseases, it can dredge the meridians, effectively relieve local pain, and help accelerate the recovery of the condition.
Adjusts the balance of Yin and Yang in the organs
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the balance of Yin and Yang in the body is essential. Scraping can adjust the body's functions in both directions and also has a significant effect on regulating the organs of the body, restoring their balance. For example, for people with excessive intestinal peristalsis, scraping the abdomen and back can inhibit the excessive peristalsis of the intestines and restore their balance.
What to pay attention to when scraping
1. During scraping treatment, avoid wind and keep warm.
During scraping treatment, avoid wind and keep warm. When the room temperature is low, try to minimize the exposed areas. Do not scrape in front of a fan or in a place with air circulation during high temperatures in summer. When scraping, the sweat pores of the skin open, so if exposed to wind and cold, the evil qi can directly enter the body through the open pores, which not only affects the efficacy of scraping but also may cause new diseases due to wind and cold.
2. Drink a cup of hot water after scraping treatment.
During scraping treatment, the sweat pores and evil qi are expelled, which consumes part of the body's body fluids. After scraping, drinking a cup of hot water can replenish the consumed fluids, promote metabolism, and accelerate the elimination of metabolic waste.
