Head scraping technique

Head scraping is a traditional Chinese medicine massage technique that is very effective in improving blood circulation in the head. Regular scraping of the head can also increase the nutritional content of the hair. In addition, the effect of head scraping technique also involves the internal organs, because the blood circulation drives the whole body, so if you scrape your head frequently, it will do great good for your body. Let’s learn the techniques of head scraping.

Head scraping technique, methods and steps: Scrape the entire head 2 to 3 times a day. Because the scalp is covered with hair, in order to achieve a stimulating effect, it is advisable to scrape vigorously with the raised edge of the scraper.

Side of the head: Place the scraper vertically from the center of the head to the lower temple, and scrape from front to back to the hairline behind the ear.

Front and back of the head: Use the Baihui point as the boundary to divide the top of the head into two parts, front and back. First, scrape from the top of the head to the hairline of the forehead, from left to right, and then scrape from the top of the head to the hairline of the back of the neck, from left to right.

Strengthening technique: Use the corner of the scraper to scrape the above parts repeatedly in order to strengthen the effect.

Back: Bladder meridian - bilateral lung points and kidney points.

Lower limbs: Stomach meridian - bilateral Zusanli. Spleen meridian - bilateral blood sea.

Action and mechanism: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "hair is the residue of blood" and that "the essence of the kidney is in the hair". Regularly scraping the entire head can directly improve the microcirculation of the head, stimulate metabolism, activate scalp cells, and make the head full of qi and blood. When the hair roots get sufficient oxygen and various nutrients, the hair growth rate will be accelerated, the hair shaft will be thicker, the hair roots will be firm, the hair will be soft and shiny, and it can also reduce hair loss and dandruff and promote the transformation of white hair to black. All of the body's yang meridians reach the head, and the head meridians have an overall regulatory effect on all systems in the body. Regularly scraping the entire head can stimulate the meridian points on the head, unblock the yang meridians throughout the body, and dredge the yang energy throughout the body. Combined with scraping the acupoints on the bladder meridian, stomach meridian and spleen meridian, it can enhance the function of internal organs, help produce essence and blood, and moisturize hair.

There are many methods of scraping the head. Some folk methods judge your lung function based on the quality of your hair, which is not without reason. Traditional Chinese medicine has always been a very important method of health preservation. Compared with the hospitals' temporary treatment but not the root cause, traditional Chinese medicine really needs to be paid attention to. The head scraping technique can unclog the acupuncture points on your head and bring you so many benefits. Of course, all methods require persistence to be effective.
