Where should I scrape for rhinitis

In winter, the temperature is very low, so winter is the peak season for many diseases, such as rhinitis. Rhinitis can cause patients to have runny nose or nasal congestion, and even induce headaches, which affects everyone's life. Gua Sha can relieve rhinitis without any side effects. However, everyone must pay attention to finding the acupoints before scraping. So where should you scrape for rhinitis?

First, where should we scrape for rhinitis? Chronic rhinitis is characterized by intermittent, alternating or persistent nasal congestion and runny nose. Use direct scraping method. The scraping tool is a buffalo horn scraping board, and the medium is safflower oil. After applying safflower oil evenly on the Baihui, Fengchi, Fengmen, Shousanli, Hegu and other acupoints, use buffalo scraping to scrape out bleeding spots.

Second, before scraping, you should choose a good place with fresh air, keep warm and avoid wind. Do not scrape in a place with drafts in summer. Choose a comfortable scraping position to facilitate scraping and prevent dizziness. Gua Sha therapy is not suitable for all people, such as children and young children. Use Chinese medicine such as 3g of goose not eating grass and 5g of magnolia flower to avoid group restrictions. Gua Sha tools should be disinfected regularly to prevent cross infection. Before scraping, carefully check whether the scraping tool has burrs or damage to avoid scratching the skin. The hands of the practitioner should also be disinfected. As long as the patient has no coagulation dysfunction, scraping is harmless to the human body and fear should be eliminated to avoid fainting. Do not perform scraping when the patient is too hungry, too full, or too nervous. The scraping technique should be done with even force, within a tolerable degree, until sha marks appear. For infants, young children and the elderly, scraping should be done with light force.

Where should the scraping be done for rhinitis? Allergic rhinitis is characterized by itching in the nose, continuous sneezing, and a lot of clear nasal discharge. Use direct scraping method.

After applying safflower oil evenly on Fengchi, Feishu, Mingmen, Pishu, Shenshu, and Zusanli, scrape them repeatedly with a buffalo horn scraping board. The degree of scraping is to produce bleeding spots locally.
