How to disinfect the scraping board

Nowadays, many people do it at home after mastering the scraping method. However, we all know that the scraping board is in direct contact with our skin, so the cleaning and hygiene of the scraping board is very important. If the scraping board is not very clean, it is easy to cause skin infection and cause serious damage to the skin. So how to disinfect the scraping board?

The scraping board used must be disinfected. The scraping time is generally 3 to 5 minutes for each part, and the longest time is no more than 20 minutes. For some patients who have no sha or little sha, you cannot force them to have sha. The principle is to make the patients feel comfortable. Generally, you should wait 3 to 5 days after the first scraping and then do the second scraping after the sha subsides. One to two days after the appearance of sha, you may experience mild pain and itching, which are normal reactions.

1. The patient should take a comfortable position, fully expose the treatment area, and wash the area with warm water.

2. Use a smooth-edged spoon (or spoon, copper coin, etc.) dipped in sesame oil (canola oil, peanut oil, soybean oil or water) and scrape the area that needs scraping repeatedly in one direction.

3. The order of scraping is generally from top to bottom, or from the middle of the body to both sides, or from inside to outside each time. Do not scrape back and forth. Scrape each area about 20 times each time, and stop when dark red spots appear on the skin.

4. The scraping area is usually only on the patient's back or both sides of the neck. Depending on the condition of the disease, scraping can sometimes be performed on both sides of the larynx in front of the neck, the chest, both sides of the spine, both sides of the arm bends, or the inner sides of the knee bends. You can also choose the appropriate part for scraping according to the condition of the disease.

5. Each part can be scraped to leave 2 to 4 or 4 to 8 "blood marks". Depending on the location, the "blood marks" can be scraped into straight lines or arcs.

6. Use a smaller scraper to scrape the acupuncture points. Commonly used acupoints include Zusanli, Tiantu, Quchi and some acupoints on the back. Scraping the acupoints, in addition to the conditioning effects of scraping itself, can also dredge the meridians, promote qi and activate blood circulation.

Scraping acupuncture points is suitable for abdominal pain, gastrointestinal colds, nausea caused by summer heat, and muscle or body aches caused by sha.

After we understand the disinfection of the scraping board, we need to pay more attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the body during scraping. We must pay more attention to the cleanliness of the body before scraping, but we cannot clean the body blindly after scraping, so as to avoid symptoms such as suppuration of the wound when it comes into contact with water. At the same time, we need to pay more attention to our own diet after scraping.
