First, the role and efficacy of scraping
1. Scraping back: relaxing tendons and dredging collaterals.
Scraping on the back can regulate the contraction and relaxation of muscles, adjust the pressure between tissues, dredge meridians, eliminate toxins, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
2. Eye scraping week: improve vision
We all know that there are several acupoints around the eyes, and the eye exercises we usually do are to stimulate these acupoints. If scraping is used instead of finger massage, it can improve the circulation of meridians and qi and blood around the eyes and relieve visual fatigue and dryness.
3. Scraping the sternum: Broadening the chest and regulating qi
I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath when I am in a bad mood. Scrape the lower half of the sternum slowly from top to bottom with the single angle of the scraping comb. In this position, there is the "Qi Hui" Zhongshan point among the eight acupoints, and stimulating this acupoint has the function of broadening the chest and regulating qi. In addition, people who love hiccups can often shave this part.
4. Neck scraping: promote blood circulation, relax muscles and tendons.
Neck and shoulder discomfort can be said to be an "occupational disease" of white-collar workers. Because you work in the same posture at your desk for a long time, it is easy to hurt your neck and shoulders, and soreness and swelling are common. Scraping can promote blood circulation and relax tendons, and improve the state of local qi and blood stasis.
5. Shaving hands and feet: activating qi and dredging collaterals
Afraid of cold, often appear cold hands and feet symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is mainly related to the lack of yang in the body or the poor operation of qi and blood. You can scrape the palm of your hand with the surface of the scraping plate first, and then scrape the periphery of your finger with the groove on the scraping plate after the palm gets hot, and scrape it 5 to 10 times in each direction from the root to the fingertip, which can promote qi circulation and dredge collaterals. It can also be applied to scraping feet.
6. Abdominal scraping: laxatives
Many white-collar women have been sedentary for a long time because of high work pressure, which leads to constipation. At this time, you can scrape the abdomen from top to bottom and from left to right with the surface of the scraping plate. It should be noted that if the internal organs droop, they should be scraped from bottom to top.
7. Shave your head: refresh your mind
The head is the place where the yang meridians of the whole body converge. After getting up in the morning, wiping your head with a scraping comb can boost the yang and make people feel refreshed. With Baihui point on the top of the head as the center, scrape radially around until the scalp feels hot. If there is a pain point, you can scrape it 5 to 10 times repeatedly at this point.
Second, the matters needing attention of scraping in summer
1. Drink a cup of hot water after shaving.
The treatment of scraping makes the juice hole sweat, pathogens are discharged, and some body fluids are consumed. Drinking a cup of hot water after scraping can supplement the consumed part, promote metabolism and accelerate the discharge of metabolites.
Don't blow the fan, take a bath immediately.
After scraping, we must avoid the invasion of pathogenic wind and cold, and we can blow windy things such as electric fans to prevent pathogenic wind from relaxing into the body through pores. It takes about 12 hours to take a bath when the skin pores are closed and restored to their original state.
3. Patients with severe illness need to cooperate with other treatment methods
For some complicated and critical patients, in addition to scraping treatment, we should also cooperate with other drugs to avoid delaying the illness.
Third, who is not suitable for scraping?
1, patients with serious diseases, such as malignant tumor, diabetes, heart disease, hepatitis, acute infectious diseases, etc. , should be immediately sent to the hospital for observation and treatment, so as not to delay treatment and aggravate the condition.
2, bleeding tendency, such as leukemia, severe thrombocytopenia and other patients are strictly prohibited to scrape.
3. Those who are older, weak, pregnant, have menstrual cramps or have more leucorrhea should not fast. Not confident or allergic to scraping, scraping is not allowed within half an hour before and after meals.
4. Patients with highly allergic skin or dermatosis, such as broken skin, ulcer or unhealed wound, such as acne, acne, skin ulceration or infectious dermatosis, should not scrape at the wound to avoid wound enlargement or infection. Trauma and fracture are also forbidden to scrape.
5. There are obvious large blood vessels on the body surface, as well as five senses such as eyes, ears, nostrils, tongue, lips, front and back yin and navel (Shenque point). But you can avoid blood vessels and try to scrape with light methods such as point pressure; For patients with varicose veins or edema of lower limbs, the scraping plate is thick and light, scraping from bottom to top. In addition, patients with urinary retention can only be treated by gentle rubbing, pressing and pushing.
