Can cupping be done after scraping?
Scraping can be used as a prelude to cupping. Relax your muscles first and force out the cold and dampness. Cupping is better.
Scraping is actually to remove superficial stasis, while cupping is a deep-seated problem, and the two can cooperate with each other. If several meridians are treated together, they can also be treated at the same time. The methods of scraping and cupping are different, but the principle of treating diseases is the same. Chinese medicine believes that "it hurts if it doesn't work." Both can dredge the local area, but the pain will last. Modern medicine believes that both of them can improve the adhesion of local muscle fibers and make the blood circulation of capillaries smooth through external force, and the combination of them can complement each other.
Scraping and cupping are used together. Generally, scraping first and then cupping, or scraping first and then cupping. Of course, the former is more commonly used. Scraping first and then cupping can double the power to ward off evil spirits.
The benefits of scraping therapy
1. Regulating Yin and Yang
Yin and Yang are the basic core of TCM theory. Under normal circumstances, the human body maintains a relatively balanced state of Yin and Yang. If the balance of yin and yang is disturbed by factors such as seven emotions and six lewdness, falling servant injury and so on. It will lead to pathological changes such as "excess of yin leads to yang disease and excess of yang leads to yin disease", resulting in clinical syndromes such as "excess of yang leads to heat and excess of yin leads to cold". The key of scraping health care is to adjust the deficiency and excess of yin and yang according to the attributes of syndromes, so that the body can be transferred to the secret of yin and yang, and normal physiological functions can be restored, thus achieving the purpose of treating diseases.
The role of scraping in regulating yin and yang is basically achieved through acupoint compatibility and scraping. For example, meridian diseases and dermatosis belong to exterior and interior, so scraping should be light; It is advisable to shave the diseased viscera and bones again. The adjustment of scraping on the balance of yin and yang is two-way. For example, blood pressure is unstable, and lower blood pressure can be raised after scraping acupuncture points on trunk and limbs. Hypertension can also be reduced.
2. Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis
Once the muscles, ligaments and bones of the human body are damaged, blood stasis will appear locally, which will make the blood circulation in the meridians not smooth. If the blood stasis persists, the pain will not stop. At this time, scraping at local or corresponding acupoints can eliminate congestion, promote new blood, dredge meridians and promote qi and blood circulation, so as to achieve the purpose of painless whole body. This is the function of scraping, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
Step 3 clear away heat and reduce swelling

4, sputum with convulsions, both soft and hard.

Step 5 strengthen the body and eliminate evil spirits
Heal the skin of the corresponding acupoints to make them appear blue-purple bloodshot marks, so that the therapy can be enlightened and dredged, and all kinds of evil spirits such as wind, cold, phlegm, dampness, blood stasis, heat and poison. Blood stagnation at meridian points and corresponding tissues and organs can be released from fur, thus dredging meridians.
