Guasha is a very good way to maintain health. There are many benefits of Guasha, and many people love to do it. However, there are many things to pay attention to before and after Guasha. Do you know how long is the appropriate time for Guasha? What are the taboos of Guasha?
Many people believe that the longer the time for Guasha, the better. However, this is not the case. Guasha for too long is not beneficial. It is best not to exceed 30 to 40 minutes.
Guasha is a common health care therapy in traditional Chinese medicine. People who go for Guasha often think that the longer the time, the better the effect. In fact, this idea is wrong. The recommended time for Guasha on each part is 3-5 minutes, and it should not exceed 20 minutes.
Guasha is guided by the theory of traditional Chinese medicine meridians and acupoints. Through special Guasha tools and corresponding techniques, a certain medium is applied to the surface of the body for repeated scraping and friction, causing local red papules or dark red bleeding spots, achieving the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Due to its simplicity, convenience, low cost, and effectiveness, it is widely used in clinical practice and is suitable for medical treatment and family health care. It can also be used in conjunction with acupuncture, cupping, bloodletting, and other therapies to enhance the effects of promoting blood circulation, dispelling evil, and detoxification.
How long is the appropriate time for Guasha? If the time is too long, it may cause discomfort to the body. Therefore, it is recommended to use a slow and gentle scraping technique. For the initial treatment, the time for Guasha should be appropriately shortened. For individuals with weak constitution or thin body, the overall time for Guasha should be less than 20 minutes. The interval between two treatments on the same part should be 5-7 days. The second treatment can be carried out only when the skin on the original scraped area is without papules and there is no pain when touched by hand.
The recommended time for Guasha is generally 3-5 minutes for each part, and should not exceed 20 minutes.
The speed of recovery from Guasha is directly related to the individual's constitution, condition, the location and color of the papules, and the number of Guasha treatments.
Many people like to do Guasha at home, so they may not pay much attention to the time. However, it is still important to pay attention to the time for Guasha at home. Generally, the time for cupping should be fixed within 10 minutes. If it is too long, it may harm the body.
