Scraping has a good effect on the treatment of various diseases, but we may not be very familiar with some of the details of scraping. We are not sure whether scraping can be done during menstruation. So, can we scrape during menstruation? Let's find out together!
Menstruation is a very important period, and it needs to be well taken care of, otherwise our body may have problems. Let me explain in detail below.
Can we scrape during menstruation?
Some netizens asked, "Can we scrape during menstruation?" Experts say that it is not recommended to scrape during menstruation. Scraping is a method of traditional Chinese medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, it is not beneficial for menstruation, as it may cause excessive menstrual flow, and women are more vulnerable during menstruation. Scraping stimulates the blood circulation of the skin through external force, stimulating the corresponding reflex zones on the body surface to relieve some disease symptoms.
During menstruation, women's abdomen and waist should not be stimulated too much, otherwise it may lead to delayed menstruation and increased menstrual flow. Scraping should be avoided on the abdomen, waist, and sacrum during menstruation.
Therefore, it is important to keep warm and prevent other diseases. Sufficient rest should be taken in daily life, and stimulating treatments such as scraping, cupping, moxibustion, and foot massage should be avoided. In addition, scraping is not beneficial for menstruation, as it may cause excessive menstrual flow, and scraping on the abdomen, waist, and sacrum during menstruation may lead to increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstrual period.
Scraping and menstruation have similarities in terms of detoxification. I remember a case where a woman's menstrual flow decreased after scraping. These are all normal and there is no need to panic or worry. Therefore, it is not recommended to scrape during menstruation, as it may have related effects.
Scraping can promote blood circulation and detoxification, and it works well. The effects may vary depending on the different acupoints or even produce opposite effects. However, during menstruation, the main focus of the body's qi and blood is to achieve a normal menstrual period. Therefore, compared to usual, other meridians and organs may appear insufficient, resulting in fatigue, lower back pain, fatigue, and swelling of the limbs.
Of course, whether to scrape during menstruation varies from person to person. If you feel uncomfortable and insist on scraping, gently scrape the uncomfortable meridians. If scraping affects the normal menstrual period, then avoid it next time. If you are more susceptible to wind and cold during menstruation, you need to drink some ginger jujube water with brown sugar to supplement yang energy and dispel cold.

It is also known as early menstruation or premature menstruation.
The clinical manifestation of early menstruation is that menstruation starts 7 days or more earlier and occurs continuously for more than two cycles. Clinically, early menstruation can be divided into two types: blood heat disturbance and qi failure to contain blood.
