What should you pay attention to when doing scraping to detoxify

Gua Sha can open up the meridians, detoxify and beautify the skin, make the body more comfortable, and can also treat some diseases, such as common cervical spondylosis and gynecological diseases. However, there are many things to pay attention to when doing scraping. You should scrape the corresponding parts according to your condition, and pregnant women are prohibited from scraping.

1. It is necessary to understand the condition, treat it based on syndrome differentiation, examine the cause, and determine the scraping area.

2. The technique is adopted according to the patient's deficiency or excess, cold or heat, exterior or interior, yin or yang.

3. Pregnant women are prohibited from scraping the abdomen, waist and sacrum.

4. Children whose acetabulum has not closed are prohibited from scraping.

5. Do not scrape the skin where there are infected sores, ulcers, scars or tumors.

6. For patients with varicose veins in the lower limbs, appropriate techniques should be adopted from bottom to top.

7. People with low blood pressure (prone to bleeding) and critically ill people should be careful when scraping.

8. Do not scrape facing the electric fan and try to avoid the wind.

9. Do not use other substitutes for scraping (such as copper coins, plastic crystals, porcelain, safflower oil, which heal quickly).

10. There is no need to apply oil on the head and face. You can scrape with clothes on for health care and to treat diseases. Special scraping oil must be used.

11. Scrape again after the sha subsides. You can scrape again at ordinary times to enhance the effect of subsiding sha.

12. When scraping, a certain amount of capillary bleeding occurs, seeps into the adjacent tissues, and then is absorbed. This is a way to increase resistance.

13. For those who are afraid of pain, you can take a hot bath or apply hot compress before scraping to reduce pain.

14. After scraping, the sweat pores will expand. Do not take a cold shower within half an hour. You can take a hot shower and scrape while washing.

15. Drink a cup of hot (warm) water after scraping to replenish the body's consumed fluids, promote metabolism, and accelerate the excretion of metabolic products.

16. To eradicate stubborn diseases, in addition to scraping and detoxification (taking intestinal cleansing foods), targeted conditioning is also required (Le Duo Shou series, Difens series).

17. There is no need to force the scraping to produce sha.

18. For health-care scraping, there is no need to apply oil or scrape out sha. Just scrape every part from head to toe and every meridian 8 times, 3-10 minutes a day, which will naturally strengthen your body and prolong your life.
