First, Chinese medicine believes that if you can't pass, it will hurt. They can all dredge the part, but the pain will pass.
Modern medicine believes that both of them can improve the adhesion of local muscle fibers through external force and make the blood circulation of capillaries smooth. The combination of the two 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. Advantages of cupping after scraping Scraping Scraping Scraping and cupping is a method that is often used in our life or Chinese medicine to regulate the body, which is very helpful for regulating metabolism. Not only that, it can also effectively detoxify the body. According to the patient's condition, it can effectively dispel cold, relieve cold dizziness symptoms and improve immunity.
Second, patients can try, but it needs to be reminded that although scraping and cupping are good for the body,
But it can't be too frequent, which is very bad for the skin. Scraping is repeated scraping on the skin surface with special instruments, and cupping is sucking and pulling on the skin surface by using the negative pressure generated during cupping. Scraping and cupping have similar functions, both of which repeatedly stimulate the skin surface during operation. Therefore, it is advisable to choose the treatment method of the same part, which can not only achieve the purpose of treatment, but also do not damage the skin. When multi-site treatment is needed, the two methods can be used together, and the curative effect does not affect each other. Scraping or cupping can be used when the muscles of the back, waist, buttocks and face are rich and smooth. Cupping is the best way to treat diseases caused by cold, and scraping is more suitable for facial beauty.
Third, if the lesion is in the head, neck, limbs and other parts that cannot be depressed, you can choose more flexible scraping surgery.
Cupping should be at least one day apart. If the can seal is deep or there are many blisters, cupping should be done after the can seal becomes shallow or the blisters disappear. Scraping should be carried out at intervals of 5-7 days, and re-treatment can only be carried out at the same site after all the spots have subsided. Everyone's physique and illness are different, so follow the doctor's advice.
What's the difference between moxibustion, cupping and scraping? Which effect will be better? Moxibustion and moxibustion
gua sha (scraping therapy)
Cupping is the essence of external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, the ultimate goal of which is the same, but there are still some differences in the operation process.
Generally speaking, moxibustion is suitable for people who are weak and sick; Scraping and cupping-these things that can "see blood" are only suitable for strong people.
What's the difference between moxibustion and scraping and cupping?
1. moxibustion
The biggest difference between moxibustion and scraping and cupping is that moxibustion itself has the function of nourishing human yang, generating blood and promoting blood circulation! It is this that determines the irreplaceability of moxibustion.
Yuan Yang Qi of human body is congenital. If it is exhausted, it can't be regenerated, only replenished. Medicinal and thermal properties are powerful foreign aid. Moxibustion not only mobilizes the human body's own strength, but also can be borrowed.
worried
The medicinal properties and heat of moxibustion fire are not available in scraping massage.
Therefore, there is a saying in the field of Chinese medicine: moxibustion supplements deficiency, scraping cures strength!
Step 2: Scrape
The essence of scraping is to purge excess and evil qi. But scraping must be done in the blocked place, so as to eliminate excess congestion and promote the patency of meridians. If you scrape in the empty place of the meridian, it will only make it weaker. Therefore, strong people can scrape the meridians.
deficiency of blood
Scraping due to blood deficiency will damage qi and blood.
In other words, scraping is to give evil a way out. On the contrary, people who are weak, such as the elderly, children or people with insufficient vital energy, can't exorcise evil spirits by scraping alone, which is easy to backfire. You can't scrape a weak person at all.
3. Cupping
Cupping is a therapy with cupping as a tool. Cupping is adsorbed on the body surface by negative pressure, resulting in local blood stasis, thus achieving the functions of dredging meridians, promoting qi and blood circulation, relieving swelling and pain, expelling wind and dispelling cold.
But when we are cupping outside, our backs are always pulled out, mainly to introduce qi and blood.
bladder meridian
It has the function of diuresis and detoxification, but it is greatly unfavorable to people with weak qi and blood.
The difference between cupping and moxibustion
The difference between scraping, cupping and moxibustion
1, scraping acts on shallow layer and cupping acts on deep layer. At the same time, cupping also has the function of purging fire and treating various solid diseases, including fever and cold.
2. Moxibustion is suitable for people who are weak and sick, and scraping and cupping are only suitable for people who are strong. Otherwise, people who are weak will be counterproductive and will not work.
