The year before last, the World Health Organization first included Chinese medicine in its globally influential medical projects. Traditional Chinese medicine regards the human body as the unity of qi, form and spirit based on the theory of yin and yang and five elements. As early as the primitive society, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine was basically formed, which further influenced the medicine in Japan, Korea and Vietnam. They were all developed on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine.
Scraping is a common treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine. In addition to treating scapulohumeral periarthritis, cervical spondylosis and common cold by dredging meridians, removing blood stasis and promoting blood circulation, expelling toxin and expelling evil spirits, it has also shined brilliantly in the field of skin care and beauty in recent years, and has a very good effect on improving wrinkles, relaxation, acne and pigmentation.
When used for facial beauty, it is necessary to pay attention to choosing buffalo horn scraping board as far as possible. Buffalo horn is a valuable Chinese herbal medicine, which is pungent, salty and cold, and can promote qi circulation, promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. Salty can be soft and firm; Cold can clear away heat and detoxify, and cool blood will calm the nerves. And the texture is tough, smooth and durable. When scraping, you must pay attention to the need to choose a massage board with smooth corners, which is beneficial to smooth skin and avoid hurting the stratum corneum and subcutaneous capillaries. In addition, when scraping, you must cooperate with massage cream, cream, essence or massage oil with good ductility, and you can't use undiluted unilateral essential oil.
Scraping will weaken the barrier function of stratum corneum to some extent because of friction, so it is not recommended to use scrub and high-concentration acidic skin-changing products during the period, and pay attention to sun protection during the day.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that medicine and food are homologous. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Tai Su in Huangdi's Internal Classic wrote: "Eating on an empty stomach is food, and patients eat medicine", which directly reflected the idea of "homology of medicine and food". Many health problems do not need to be treated immediately by taking medicine, and some problems can also be improved by adjusting diet, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, spleen-stomach disharmony, liver depression and qi stagnation.
