The Benefits and Drawbacks of Scraping
The Benefits of Scraping
1. Promotes Blood Circulation and Removes Blood Stasis
Scraping can regulate the contraction and relaxation of muscles, relieve tissue pressure, promote blood circulation around the treated area, increase tissue flow, and thus promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
2. Relieves Muscle Tension and Promotes Meridian Flow
Scraping the back can relax tense muscles, which can significantly reduce or eliminate pain and compression symptoms, and also facilitate the repair of lesions.
3. Balances Yin and Yang
Balance between Yin and Yang is emphasized in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Scraping has a dual regulatory effect on the body, improving and adjusting organ functions to restore balance.
4. Eliminates Toxins
Scraping can cause local tissue congestion, stimulate blood vessels and nerves to dilate, increase blood flow, enhance phagocytic function and transportation power, and accelerate the elimination of waste and toxins from the body, thereby purifying the blood and increasing overall resistance.
The Drawbacks of Scraping
1. People with severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, liver and kidney dysfunction, and generalized edema should avoid scraping therapy as it can increase the burden on the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys, exacerbating the condition. In addition, scraping therapy should not be performed on pregnant women or during menstruation.
2. Scraping therapy should be avoided on areas with abscesses, ulcers, boils, rashes, and unknown lumps on the skin surface, as it can cause infection and spread. Scraping therapy should also be avoided on areas of acute sprains, trauma, or fractures, as it can worsen bleeding at the wound site.
3. People with contagious skin diseases should not receive scraping therapy, as it may spread the disease to others.
