Methods and effects of scraping
There are many methods for traditional Chinese health care, and scraping is one of the most effective methods. It not only promotes health and wellness, but also prevents and treats diseases. Nowadays, scraping therapy is becoming more and more popular. However, the method of scraping is very particular, and a slight deviation can be harmful to the body. Now let's talk about the methods and effects of scraping.
Scraping methods
The patient should be in a comfortable position, exposing the treatment area, and clean the area with warm water.
Dip a smooth-edged spoon (or teaspoon, copper coin, etc.) in sesame oil (vegetable oil, peanut oil, soybean oil or water can also be used), and scrape the desired area repeatedly in one direction.
Scraping should follow a certain order, usually from top to bottom, or from the middle of the body towards the sides, or from the inside to the outside each time. Avoid back and forth scraping. It is recommended to scrape about 20 times until the skin shows deep red marks.
The scraping area is usually on the patient's back or the sides of the neck. Depending on the condition, scraping can also be done on the sides of the neck, chest, spine, elbow bends, or inside of the knee bends. Choose the appropriate area for scraping according to the condition.
Each area can be scraped with 2-4 or 4-8 "blood marks". Depending on the location, the "blood marks" can be straight or curved.
For acupoints, a smaller scraping tool can be used. Commonly used acupoints include Zusanli, Tian Tu, Qu Chi, and some acupoints on the back. Scraping at the acupoints not only has the therapeutic effects of scraping itself, but also helps to dredge the meridians and promote qi and blood circulation.
