Benefits of Scraping Therapy
Scraping the Neck
Scraping therapy has good therapeutic effects on different diseases, and scraping the neck can promote blood circulation.
Neck and shoulder discomfort is a common "occupational disease" for desk workers. Scraping therapy can promote blood circulation and improve the local stagnation of Qi and blood.
Choose three main routes, from the midpoint of the posterior hairline to the Dazhui acupoint, and from the upper corners of the posterior hairline to the left and right shoulder directions. In addition, scraping this area when you have a cold can also help dispel wind and relax muscles.
Scraping the Sternum
Scraping the chest has a good effect in relieving bad moods and can effectively alleviate fatigue and restore vitality.
Many people may feel chest tightness and shortness of breath when they are in a bad mood or tired. You can use the single-angle scraping comb to slowly scrape the lower half of the sternum from top to bottom.
There is the "Qihuai" acupoint in this position, which can widen the chest and regulate Qi. In addition, people who frequently hiccup can also regularly scrape this area.
Scraping the Hands and Feet
Women often experience cold hands and feet. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is mainly related to insufficient Yang Qi or poor circulation of Qi and blood in the body.
You can use the scraping board to scrape the palms, and then continue to scrape the four sides of the fingers after the fingers become warm. This can effectively relieve the phenomenon of cold hands and feet.
Scraping the Rib Cage
Anxiety, depression, and irritability can disrupt the overall function of the body due to long-term mental stress. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that normal emotional activities rely on smooth Qi flow, and the liver can regulate the flow of Qi.
Since the liver meridian mainly runs along the rib cages on both sides of the body, scraping this area can help soothe the liver and relieve depression. The key point is the Qimen acupoint at the intersection of the nipple line and the 6th rib. When scraping, the movements should be slow, and focus on finding and scraping painful or nodular areas.
Scraping the Abdomen
Long-term constipation not only affects digestion and absorption, but also allows toxins to accumulate in the body. You can use the scraping board to scrape the abdomen from top to bottom, from left to right. However, if there is visceral prolapse, the scraping should be done from bottom to top.
Scraping around the Eyes
I believe everyone has done eye exercises and is familiar with several acupoints for massage. Scraping these acupoints with a scraping board instead of fingers can provide more effective stimulation.
Start by pressing on the Jingming acupoint with the scraping comb, and then scrape from the Jingming acupoint to the outer corner of the eye in both the upper and lower eyelids. This can improve the circulation of Qi and blood around the eyes, relieve eye fatigue and dryness.
