What does it mean when sha appears on the face after scraping

Scraping is a very common way of treating physical diseases in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It can also play a health-care role for the body. Facial scraping is also relatively common. Scraping the face may be due to poor blood circulation in the face, as well as cold or dampness in the body. You need to pay more attention to your body in daily life.

What does it mean when sha appears after facial scraping?

The phenomenon of abnormal color appearing when scraping the face is mainly due to the conflict between internal wind, dampness and fire. Generally speaking, the appearance of sha frequently indicates that there is a problem with blood circulation in a certain part of your body. If there is a lot of sha around your eyes, it means that the blood circulation in your eyes has been abnormal recently. It may be caused by your lack of rest or excessive use of your eyes.

The reason why scraping causes sha

1. Scraping refers to the phenomenon that red, purple, black spots or black blisters appear on the skin surface after scraping, also known as "sha marks". These changes in the skin may last from 1 day to several days.

2. The depth of the color of "sha" usually reflects the severity of the disease. The more serious the disease, the more "sha" will appear and the darker the color. If the disease is mild, the less "sha" will appear and the lighter the color.

3. Under normal circumstances, the "blood stasis" on the skin will gradually subside within 3-5 days, and will return to normal in no more than 1 week. Not only will it not damage the skin, but because this method can invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, it strengthens local blood circulation and will make the skin healthier and more beautiful than before.

4. For healthy people, after systematic health scraping, generally no sha will appear, only skin flushing, local fever, and body relaxation.

5. Judge health status by the location of sha. Sha is prone to occur in meridian circulation routes and acupoint areas, indicating functional lesions in the internal organs connected to the corresponding meridians. For example, if sha spots or purple sha appear in the Xinshu point area after evenly scraping the bladder meridian on the back, it means that there are abnormal changes in heart function and health care should be taken early.

6. The sha pattern can be used to determine the degree of recovery. If scattered sha appears and is light in color, it means the condition is mild and easy to recover; if there are many sha spots and they are large and lumpy, or there are purple blood bags, etc., it means the condition is severe and requires multiple health care to recover.

7. Sha syndrome is different from sha outbreak. Sha syndrome refers to a number of diseases that occur frequently between summer and autumn, caused by exposure to the six evil spirits of wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, or by epidemic, foul and toxic gases. Symptoms such as headache, fever, cough, restlessness, dizziness, chest tightness, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, swelling and pain in the hands, feet, head, face, body, and dark blue nails are called sha syndrome, sha qi or sha zhang.

8. During the scraping process, when sha marks appear locally, change to light scraping to make the sha slowly come out to relieve pain, which is called penetrating sha. For some people with neuromuscular paralysis, it is not easy for sha to appear after scraping. Do not scrape hard or hard to force the appearance of sha. It is better to scrape several times. When sha appears naturally, it means that the condition has improved. This is also called penetrating sha.

9. If blood clots or blood vessels float in clusters when scraping the lower limbs, it means that the venous circulation function is poor. You should immediately use the light scraping method to scrape in the reverse direction, and protect the skin to promote blood return.
