Therefore, everyone must understand and grasp the things that need to be paid attention to after scraping. These are summarized below.

1. Precautions before scraping:

(1) It is necessary to understand the condition, differentiate the symptoms and treat accordingly, ask about the cause, and determine the area to be scraped.

(2) Use tonifying or purging methods based on the patient’s deficiency or excess, cold or heat, exterior or interior, and yin or yang.

(3) For patients with varicose veins in the lower limbs, it is advisable to scrape from bottom to top or scrape evenly.

(4) Do not face the fan when scraping and avoid the wind as much as possible.

(5) Do not use other substitutes for scraping (such as copper coins, plastic products, porcelain, safflower oil, quick-healing products), etc.

(6) There is no need to apply oil to the head and face. For health-care shaving, you can shave with your clothes on. To treat sha, you must use special scraping oil.

(7) People who are sensitive to pain can take a hot bath or apply hot compress before scraping to reduce pain.

2. Precautions in Gua Sha:

(1) People with low platelets (prone to bleeding) or critically ill patients should be scraped with caution and re-scrape as appropriate.

(2) When scraping, scrape in one direction and do not scrape back and forth.

(3) There is no need to force the scraping to produce the sha.

(4) There is no need to apply oil or scrape out sha for health care. Scrape every part and every meridian from head to toe 8 times (ask your family to help you with the back) for 3-10 minutes a day. This will naturally strengthen your body and prolong your life.

3. Precautions after scraping:

(1) 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.

(2) Generally, you should scrape again after the sha disappears in five to seven days. You can scrape again at other times to enhance the effect of removing the sha.

(3) 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.

(4) In addition to scraping and detoxification, targeted regulation of organ nutrition is also required.
