For women, there are many diseases that require us to prevent and treat them more in our daily lives. Scraping is a valuable experience left by traditional Chinese medicine. It refers to the repeated scraping and rubbing on the body surface, causing local red or dark red bleeding spots and other changes, so as to achieve the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. So can scraping have a good effect on gynecological diseases? Today, let's talk about the role of scraping.
Stimulating this area of women frequently has amazing effects
1. Menstrual disorders (dysmenorrhea)
Menstrual disorders (dysmenorrhea) are closely related to liver qi stagnation. Liver stagnation can cause qi stagnation, and qi stagnation can lead to blood stasis. According to traditional Chinese medicine, pain occurs when there is no smooth flow. Therefore, liver qi stagnation is the main cause of menstrual disorders (dysmenorrhea). Scraping and cupping can quickly resolve liver stagnation, promote blood circulation, and naturally relieve or recover from dysmenorrhea. Operation method: Scrap and cup the liver shu point on the back. For patients with dysmenorrhea, nodules will generally appear near the liver shu point. There are many manifestations of the nodules, such as the size of a soybean. The cupping should be left at the obvious nodules for about 10-15 minutes.
2. Uterine fibroids
The principle of scraping to treat uterine fibroids is similar to the treatment of breast hyperplasia. Although the disease site is in the uterus, the root of the disease is in the lumbosacral area under the projection of the uterus on both sides. Use scraping to unblock the meridians in the lumbosacral area and eliminate the "root cause" of the disease. Operation method: Scrap and cup this section of the area. If there are multiple subcutaneous nodules, cupping can be performed here, and the cupping can be left for 10-15 minutes.
3. Cold uterus infertility
Scraping combined with moxibustion can unblock and warm the kidney meridian, so as to treat cold uterus infertility. Operation method: Scrap the mingmen, shenshu, and guanyuan points, and then perform moxibustion after scraping. The time varies from person to person. The moxibustion time for patients with cold uterus infertility can be longer. As long as the local skin does not feel burning sensation, moxibustion can be continued, which can be half an hour or even an hour, depending on the situation.
Precautions for scraping:
1. Avoid wind and keep warm during scraping treatment
Avoid wind and keep warm during scraping treatment. When the room temperature is low, try to minimize the exposed area. In summer, scraping should not be done near electric fans or in places with air circulation. When scraping, the sweat pores of the skin are open, and if exposed to wind and cold evil, the evil qi can directly enter the body through the open pores, which not only affects the therapeutic effect of scraping but also may cause new diseases due to wind and cold.
2. Treat only one disease each time
Each time you treat, the scraping time should not be too long, and strictly adhere to the principle of treating only one disease each time. Large-scale scraping to treat multiple diseases continuously should be avoided to protect the body's vitality. When the meridian acupoints provided for each disease in the textbook are used in combination with holographic acupoints, only 1-2 types of scraping can be selected each time.
3. Drink a cup of hot water after scraping treatment
Scraping treatment opens the sweat pores and eliminates evil qi. It consumes part of the body's body fluids. After scraping, drink a cup of hot water to not only replenish the consumed water, but also promote metabolism and accelerate the elimination of metabolic waste.
4. Time for bathing after scraping
After scraping treatment, in order to avoid the invasion of wind and cold evil, the skin pores need to be closed and restored to their original state before bathing, which usually takes about 3 hours. However, during the bathing process, scraping can be done when the water droplets have not dried. Because the pores are slightly open during bathing, scraping at this time takes less time and has significant effects, but attention should be paid to keeping warm.
