The benefits of scraping the soles of feet

There are many acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, and different acupuncture points are related to the health of different organs in the body. Scraping the soles of the feet is a very good health therapy. It can dredge the meridians, promote blood circulation, and expel dampness and toxins from the body. It has a very good effect on the health of the body. However, scraping requires certain techniques and skills. If scraping is not done well, it is easy to be counterproductive. So how to scrape the soles of the feet?

1. Foot scraping massage can be performed half an hour after a meal.

2. Operators should clean and disinfect their hands before and after operation to prevent cross-infection of germs.

3. Maintain the indoor temperature. Pay attention to keeping the exposed skin of the feet warm in winter. Wrap the exposed part of the feet with a dry towel after the operation, especially avoid cold wind blowing directly on the skin of the feet. When operating in summer, avoid using a fan to blow directly on the exposed skin of the feet.

4. The practitioner should use enough force to make the patient feel soreness, numbness, swelling or pain in the reflex area of ​​the foot (within the patient's tolerance). Do not use violence. For those who are young, have good physique, and have strong foot muscles, the force can be slightly stronger; for those who are weak, old, and have thin and weak foot muscles, the force should be gentle.

5. For patients with varicose veins in the lower limbs and edema, the scraping technique is quite special, that is, it should be scraped from bottom to top.

6. The operator should keep in frequent communication with the patient, or observe changes in the patient's expression at any time. The operator should tell the patient that possible reactions such as soreness, numbness, swelling, and pain are normal phenomena, and adjust the strength and speed of the technique according to the patient's reaction. The operator should make the patient feel normal reactions such as soreness, numbness, swelling, and pain, without making the technique too light or too heavy, which is a normal state.

7. After the operation (within half an hour), the patient should drink 300 to 500 ml of warm water or warm mineral water.

8. Do scraping at home and drink a cup of warm water after the scraping comes out. It is best to use light salt water or light sugar water. The human body loses some body fluids during the scraping process. Drinking salt water and sugar water can replenish body fluids on the one hand, and on the other hand it can accelerate the body's metabolism and promote the excretion of waste in the body, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of scraping. In addition, do not take a cold shower within 30 minutes after scraping out the sha.

9. There should be a gap of 3 to 6 days between two scraping treatments. Also, it is not advisable to scrape the same area again before the sha spots from the previous scraping have disappeared.
