1, scrapped
Scraping is to use bamboo boards, porcelain tiles, spoons, copper coins, tools with smooth edges and corners, dip in cooking oil or water, and scrape the body surface repeatedly from top to bottom and from inside to outside, so that the skin is partially "broken". 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.
People who are weak, such as the elderly, children or people with insufficient vital qi, can't exorcise evil spirits by scraping alone, which is easy to backfire. You can't scrape a weak person at all.
2. Cupping
Cupping can replenish deficiency and drain water. If you want to tonify the kidney, cupping at Shenshu point; Nourishing the stomach, cupping in Zhongwan and Zusanli. If too many places are pulled out, the qi and blood will be scattered, and the effect of supplementing will not be achieved, and the qi and blood will be wasted.
There is no strict requirement for cupping operation method. It is important to find the corresponding acupoints, and the cupping time should be based on comfort. If qi and blood are weak, just pull for a while.

After burning, hot air can be injected into the body to drive away the hidden cold evil in the human body and make the human body full of yang, thus achieving the functions of warming meridians, tonifying qi and blood, tonifying kidney and consolidating the body.
