Do you know which acupoints to scrape for a healthier body? With the increasing status of traditional Chinese medicine, scraping therapy has become a popular method for health preservation and treatment of diseases. Have you ever tried scraping? Today, I will bring you some knowledge about scraping and show you the benefits. Let's take a closer look at the specific introduction.
Three parts of the body that can be scraped for health preservation
Scraping is one of the ancient health preservation therapies that has been passed down to the present day in China. It is also used as an auxiliary treatment in the field of medicine. It is well known that scraping has a significant effect on the overall health of individuals. However, it's important to note that scraping cannot be done anywhere to achieve the health preservation effect. It is necessary to pay attention to certain acupoints and meridians in order to achieve good therapeutic effects!
Therefore, today I want to introduce to you the three major parts of the body that need attention when choosing scraping therapy for health preservation in daily life. Generally speaking, scraping can help promote blood circulation and remove stasis. Regularly scraping the neck, head, and hands and feet can have great benefits for overall health preservation.
First, let's take a look at the health benefits of scraping the neck. Neck and shoulder discomfort is a common problem for people who work at a desk. Scraping can promote blood circulation, relax muscles and improve local blood stasis. The main acupoints to choose are the midpoint between the occiput and the Dazhui acupoint, as well as the outer edges of the occiput towards the left and right shoulders. As for the head, it is the convergence point of the yang meridians of the whole body. When scraping the head in the morning, it can invigorate yang energy, clear the mind, and help promote sleep and relieve headaches.
Scraping the hands and feet is a common practice. The hands and feet are the pathways for blood circulation throughout the body. Especially in the cold winter, people often experience cold hands and feet. By choosing to scrape these areas, it can help promote smooth circulation of qi and blood. You can scrape the palms of your hands and the ankle joints. Through scraping, you can help remove blood stasis, improve blood circulation, and promote overall physical and mental health!
Three major health benefits of scraping
1. Relieving muscle tension and promoting meridian circulation
There is often a cause-and-effect relationship between muscle tension and pain. Scraping therapy eliminates pain and relieves muscle tension. By relaxing tense muscles, pain and compression symptoms can be significantly reduced or even eliminated, which is beneficial for lesion repair.
2. Activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis
Scraping can regulate muscle contraction and relaxation, adjust tissue pressure, and promote blood circulation around the scraped area. It increases tissue flow, thus playing a role in "activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis" and "dispelling stasis and promoting new growth".
3. Balancing yin and yang
Scraping has a significant effect in balancing the yin and yang of internal organs. For example, for those with hyperactive bowel movements, scraping the abdomen and back can help inhibit excessive activity and restore normal function. Conversely, for those with reduced bowel movement function, scraping can promote normal peristalsis. This shows that scraping can improve and adjust the function of organs, achieving a balance of yin and yang.
