The difference between cupping and scraping

Cupping has the effect of relaxing muscles, activating blood circulation, relieving inflammation and relieving pain. It can help us achieve a good effect of enhancing our own immunity. Especially doing some cupping after taking a bath is a very delicious enjoyment. Scraping can effectively help us remove toxins from the skin and achieve a good skin care effect. Let's briefly describe the difference between cupping and scraping.

Gua Sha is a method of removing blood stasis adhering to the blood vessel walls to the outside of the blood vessels, which is then reabsorbed into the blood vessels through the blood. After circulating throughout the body, the scraped waste is excreted through urine.

Gua Sha can accelerate blood circulation and is a good exercise for the heart. It is safe and effective to use it as a disease prevention method. If you want to nourish the kidneys, just cupping the Shenshu points; if you want to nourish the stomach, cupping the Zhongwan and Zusanli points.

Cupping can be used to both replenish and drain. To make up for it, you just need to use fewer tanks and concentrate the air in one place.

Usually when you do cupping outside, the entire back is cupped. This is mainly to introduce qi and blood into the bladder meridian, playing a role in diuresis and detoxification. But this is very disadvantageous for people with weak qi and blood.

The best function of cupping is its blood-drawing function.

Only by understanding the differences between cupping and scraping can we choose the health-preserving method that suits us best according to our own physical fitness. We can use cupping and scraping to help us improve our physical fitness that is prone to injuries and diseases, and can achieve a very good effect of enhancing our own immunity and resistance.
