April 11, 2024

Scraping is one of the ancient methods of healthcare in China that has been passed down to the present day. Scraping mainly uses the force of scraping to stimulate the acupoints on the body, promoting blood circulation, clearing the meridians, and relieving fatigue and other symptoms. Today, I will share some knowledge about scraping with you. I believe that those who are interested in traditional Chinese scraping would like to know more. Let's take a look together.

How to improve the effectiveness of scraping

Scraping is one of the traditional Chinese medical methods that has been passed down to the present day. It has good therapeutic effects on many diseases, but how can we improve the effectiveness of scraping?

1. Use specialized scraping tools, scraping lotion, and scraping oil

Because the shape of the specialized scraping tool is designed according to the anatomical structure of the human body, it is suitable for scraping the meridian acupoints and holographic acupoint areas of the human body, achieving the appropriate intensity of stimulation. The lubricating property of the scraping lotion is good, and it contains traditional Chinese medicine ingredients that are beneficial to the skin, which can protect the skin, prevent infection, and improve the effectiveness.

2. Master the correct scraping techniques and supplementary techniques

Due to different physical constitutions, severity of the disease, and duration of illness, different scraping techniques should be applied.

3. Choose the correct scraping area

The method of scraping where it hurts is a folk scraping technique. Only by selecting the corresponding meridian acupoints based on different diseases will the effectiveness of scraping be significant.

4. Make full use of the diagnostic and preventive effects of scraping

Adhering to scraping for health maintenance, preventing diseases before they occur, and early treatment to enhance the body's immune function are good methods for disease prevention and treatment.

Note:

1. Scraping therapy has good therapeutic effects on painful diseases, cold and fever, sub-health conditions, disease prevention and health maintenance, as well as mild dysfunction of internal organs. It plays an auxiliary therapeutic role in severe dysfunction of internal organs, obvious deformities of bones and joints, and other diseases.

2. You can follow the indications in the scraping textbook to scrape, provided that the diagnosis of the disease is clear. Especially when the scraping effect is not obvious, it is necessary to consult a doctor for a clear diagnosis before scraping treatment.

3. Severe and difficult diseases should be scraped under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Study the precautions of scraping therapy carefully and understand the indications and contraindications.

What is scraping?

Scraping refers to a folk method of treating certain diseases. It involves using objects such as coins dipped in water or oil to scrape the patient's chest, back, and other areas, causing local congestion and alleviating the symptoms. According to a Han-English dictionary, it is called "a popular treatment for sunstroke by scraping the patient's neck, chest or back". It is understood that this folk medical treatment has basically disappeared in China.
