What is the principle of scraping

We all know that scraping can have a very good health-care effect on our body, and can effectively promote our blood circulation to achieve the effect of detoxification. However, we all know that in order to achieve the best effect of scraping, we must better master the methods and principles of scraping. Only in this way can it achieve certain effects. Let us understand the principles of scraping.

Gua Sha is guided by the theory of meridians and acupoints in traditional Chinese medicine. Through the use of special scraping instruments and corresponding techniques, a certain medium is dipped in the body surface to repeatedly scrape and rub, causing local skin changes such as red millet-like or dark red bleeding spots, thereby achieving the effect of activating blood circulation and removing sha. Because of its simplicity, convenience, low cost and effectiveness, it is widely used in clinical practice and is suitable for medical treatment and family health care. It can also be used in conjunction with acupuncture, cupping, bloodletting and other therapies to enhance the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, expelling evil and detoxifying.

The principle of scraping

1) Promote metabolism and excrete toxins: The human body is constantly carrying out metabolic activities every day, and the waste produced in the metabolic process must be excreted in time. Gua Sha can promptly scrape away metabolic "garbage" from the body to the surface of the body and deposit it into the pores under the skin, thereby unblocking blood flow in the body and restoring natural metabolic vitality.

2) Relax muscles and unblock meridians: Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of the shoulder, and low back pain. This is because when the body's "soft tissue" (joint capsules, ligaments, fascia) is damaged, the muscles will be in a state of tension, contraction or even spasm, and symptoms of pain will appear. If not treated in time, the body will form varying degrees of adhesion, fibrosis or scarring, thereby aggravating the condition. Gua Sha can relax muscles and tendons, eliminate painful lesions, and relieve muscle tension, which can significantly reduce pain symptoms while also helping the recovery of lesions.

3) Adjusting Yin and Yang: "When Yin and Yang are balanced, the spirit will be in good health." Traditional Chinese medicine places great emphasis on the balance of the body's yin and yang relationship. Gua Sha has a two-way regulating effect on human body functions. It can improve and adjust the functions of internal organs and restore their balance.

The above is an introduction to the principle of scraping. Therefore, when we usually scrape to maintain our body, we must pay more attention to mastering the acupoints. At the same time, the technique of scraping is also very important. Only the correct method can make scraping achieve the best effect. However, in the process of scraping, we must persist for a long time to get more desirable results. It will not have such obvious improvements on our body as taking medicine.
