Scraping process: direct scraping, indirect scraping and massage.

Direct scraping method

First, scrub the scraped area with a hot towel, then apply the corresponding scraping medium to this area, and then use the scraping tool to directly contact the patient's skin and scrape it repeatedly until there are scraping marks on the surface of the cortical stool.

Indirect scraping method

Spread a thin layer of cloth on the part to be scraped, and then scrape it directly with a scraper. This method is very effective and can protect the skin, mainly for children and the elderly.

3. Pinch method

According to the manipulation, it can be divided into three methods: holding, pulling, squeezing, patting and kneading.

Point kneading method

The flat edge of the scraper scraped a large area of the patient in parallel. Pressing a certain part or acupoint of a patient with fingers and kneading it in a round or spiral shape at the same time is a composite technique of acupoint pressing and finger kneading. This method does not belong to scraping, but belongs to massage. It is often used in combination with scrapping therapy in treatment and health care, which can enhance the curative effect and make up for the deficiency of scrapping therapy.

In the treatment of scraping, it is mainly used for head, face, abdomen, joints of limbs, hands and feet.
