The advantages and disadvantages of abdominal scraping

Gua Sha is a commonly used treatment method in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in my country. Some people have been feeling uncomfortable in their stomachs recently, so they thought of alleviating the symptoms through abdominal scraping. Abdominal scraping has many benefits. It can not only stimulate and accelerate the intestinal movement of the human body, but also effectively prevent and treat constipation. However, you need to be careful when doing abdominal scraping. Since the abdominal skin is relatively delicate, you need to control the strength of the technique.

1. What are the benefits of abdominal scraping?

1. Abdominal scraping can effectively stimulate intestinal peristalsis, promote abdominal blood circulation, promote gastrointestinal motility, effectively improve the function of the digestive system, thereby improving the distress of constipation, and can also burn fat and tighten the abdomen. It is best to lie on your back when scraping, with the scraper as the center, and scrape and massage in a clockwise direction with the navel. Use even force without being too forceful, and stop when the abdominal skin becomes rosy. Then use the angle kneading method to massage the Tianshu, Guanyuan and Qihai points mentioned above.

2. Corner kneading method is to use the thick edge and corner side of the scraping board as the fulcrum, or the thick edge and corner side as the fulcrum, focus on the effective acupoints, apply continuous rotating circular movements, drive the rubbing movement of the tissue under the skin, and use moderate force. Abdominal scraping can also help lose weight. The benefit of abdominal scraping for weight loss is that if you persist in scraping for three days to a week, constipation can be improved to a certain extent. If you stick to it for half a month to a month, you will noticeably feel your body become lighter and your belly fat has been reduced.

3. However, when scraping, you must pay attention to the strength of the scraping. You should use skillful force to transfer the force to the subcutaneous tissue. This can better promote the blood circulation of the capillaries. It can not only effectively promote metabolism, but also allow the body's excess water and fat to be quickly eliminated from the body, achieving the purpose of rapid weight loss and health care.
