Scraping direction for inner thigh

Scraping is a very traditional Chinese medicine treatment method. When you feel some chronic diseases inside your body, you can use scraping to relieve them. Especially when you have pain in the joints, the effect will be better if scraping is used. However, there are many things to pay attention to when scraping the inner thigh. Some people are not suitable for scraping, so don't try it lightly.

Gua Sha therapy can cause some damage to the skin, so you have to wait for a while after one scraping, usually about five to seven days, before doing a second scraping. Gua Sha therapy has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, adjusting yin and yang, relaxing muscles and tendons, and eliminating toxins. It is easy to operate, has significant curative effect, and is very popular among patients.

Possible accidents that may occur during scraping and how to deal with them: Scraping therapy is the same as acupuncture, massage and other methods, all of which stimulate the acupuncture points of the human body, but use different tools. Therefore, just like acupuncture, scraping may cause dizziness just like needle dizziness.

(1) Symptoms of dizziness include dizziness, pale complexion, palpitations, cold sweats, cold limbs, nausea and vomiting, or fainting.

(2) Preventive measures: Patients who are fasting or overly tired should avoid scraping. Patients with low blood pressure, low blood sugar, excessive weakness, nervousness and those who are particularly afraid of pain should scrape gently.

(3) First aid measures: Quickly lay the patient flat; let the patient drink a cup of warm sugar water; quickly use a scraper to scrape the patient's Baihui point (heavy scraping), Ren Zhong point (light scraping at the edges), Neiguan point (heavy scraping), Zusanli point (heavy scraping), and Yongquan point (heavy scraping).
