Scraping is something that many people have heard of! When people feel uncomfortable, they often think of scraping. There are many things to pay attention to when scraping. If you are not careful, it may cause some problems. What are the taboos of scraping? Read on to find out!
Benefits of Scraping
Promotes metabolism
Scraping has an obvious benefit of promoting metabolism. It stimulates our skin, increases skin temperature, accelerates blood circulation, and improves metabolic capacity. However, when scraping, we should be careful not to apply too much pressure. More pressure is not necessarily better, so be mindful of this.
People with poor metabolism often have poor mental state, slow digestion after eating, and feel heavy-headed and light-footed. Even if they exercise regularly, they are prone to weight gain. Therefore, it is necessary to scrape regularly to improve our metabolic capacity.
Relieves muscle tension and promotes blood circulation
Scraping has a good effect on dredging meridians. Our hands are difficult to achieve this effect, but using a scraping board can achieve it. Regular scraping can help us maintain health and improve conditions such as shoulder periarthritis. It is recommended that patients with shoulder periarthritis should scrape regularly, once a week.
Not only shoulder periarthritis, but also common conditions such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar muscle strain. Patients can use scraping techniques to alleviate discomfort. Although scraping cannot fundamentally cure these diseases, it can dredge meridians, effectively relieve local pain, and help accelerate recovery.
Adjusts the balance of yin and yang in the body
In Chinese medicine, the balance of yin and yang in the body is important. Scraping can adjust the body's functions in both directions and has a significant effect on the regulation of viscera. For example, for people with hyperactive bowel movements, scraping the abdomen and back can inhibit the hyperactivity of the intestines and restore bowel movements to balance.
What to pay attention to when scraping
1. Avoid wind and keep warm during scraping treatment
When receiving scraping treatment, it is important to avoid drafts and keep warm. When the room temperature is low, try to minimize the exposed areas. In hot summers, do not scrape in front of a fan or in places with air circulation. When scraping, the skin pores open and release sweat. If exposed to wind and cold, the evil qi can directly enter the body through the open pores, which not only affects the effectiveness of scraping, but also can cause new diseases due to wind and cold.
2. Drink a cup of hot water after scraping treatment
Scraping treatment opens the skin pores and releases sweat, expelling evil qi. This process consumes part of the body's fluid. After scraping, drinking a cup of hot water can replenish the consumed fluids and promote metabolism, speeding up the elimination of metabolic waste.
