There are many benefits to scraping, which I believe many people already know! On weekends, many people choose to do scraping as a popular way of health preservation. There are still many things to pay attention to when scraping, so you can't be careless. What are the taboos of scraping? Find out in the following!
The benefits of scraping
Promotes metabolism
Scraping can help improve a person's metabolism, but this effect can only be seen by continuously scraping. Occasionally scraping once doesn't have this effect. Scraping can accelerate the circulation of the body, make the flow of qi and blood smoother, and improve the metabolic ability. Friends with slow metabolism can consider scraping regularly.
Relieves pain
Friends with cervical spondylosis, shoulder periarthritis, or stiff neck can scrape regularly because scraping can help relieve pain. For example, when the neck is severely stiff and unable to move, the muscles are severely injured, which also affects daily life. Scraping can promote local blood circulation and significantly alleviate pain.
Weight loss
If you want to lose weight, try scraping! Scraping can increase a person's metabolism, thereby quickly eliminating excess fat from the body. If you insist on scraping, your body shape will become better and better! For example, if you want to slim down your arms, you can scrape your arms with a scraping board regularly, a few minutes each time.
Adjusts the balance of yin and yang in the organs
In traditional Chinese medicine, the balance of yin and yang in the body is very important. Scraping can regulate the body's functions in both directions and also has a significant effect on adjusting the organs of the body, restoring their balance. For example, people with excessive gastrointestinal motility can suppress the excessive motility of the intestines and restore their balance by scraping the abdomen and back.
What to pay attention to when scraping
1. Avoid wind and keep warm during treatment
During treatment, avoid wind and keep warm. When the room temperature is low, try to minimize the exposed areas. In hot summer, do not scrape in front of a fan or in a place with convection wind. When scraping, the skin's sweat pores are open, and if exposed to wind and cold, 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 feeling cold.
2. Drink a cup of hot water after scraping
Scraping treatment can cause the sweat pores to open and the evil qi to be expelled, which consumes some of the body's fluid. After scraping, drink a cup of hot water, which can replenish the consumed fluid and also promote metabolism, accelerating the elimination of metabolic waste.
