Is it normal to sweat easily after scraping?

It is normal or abnormal to sweat easily after scraping.

1. Temporary sweating is normal after scraping. If you also do cupping or moxibustion, it will promote blood circulation and cause faster skin metabolism.

Is sweating after scraping a detoxification treatment?

Sweating after scraping is not a detoxification reaction. Scraping for detoxification is mainly done through the appearance of sha. By scraping specific meridian acupoints, subcutaneous congestion is caused, capillaries rupture, and autohemolysis occurs, which allows foul air to come out of the inside, and the evil air in the body is vented, and toxins retained in the body are excreted, resulting in "sha" on the skin surface. Therefore, scraping for detoxification is mainly achieved through the production of sha. Sweating after scraping is considered to be caused by other reasons and cannot be used as a basis for detoxification.
