Advantages and disadvantages of back scraping
The principle of back scraping is based on the twelve meridians's theory of traditional Chinese medicine and the principle of "treating the symptoms but not the root cause", which strongly stimulates the channels and collaterals to make the local skin red and congested, so as to achieve the effects of waking up, detoxifying and eliminating pathogens, clearing away heat and relieving exterior syndrome, promoting qi circulation and relieving pain, strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of back scraping?
The benefits of back scraping
First, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis can regulate muscle contraction and relaxation, thus regulating the pressure between tissues and promoting blood circulation around scraping tissues. Increase tissue flow, thus playing the role of "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" and "removing blood stasis and promoting tissue regeneration"
Second, back scraping therapy has a good effect on painful diseases, colds and fever, sub-health state, disease prevention and health care, and mild visceral dysfunction.
Third, relax muscles and collaterals, scrape back, eliminate pain focus and muscle tension; If the tense muscles are relaxed, the symptoms of pain and oppression can also be obviously alleviated or disappeared, which is conducive to the repair of lesions.
Fourth, eliminate toxins. The scraping process (skin scraping) can make local tissues highly congested, stimulate blood vessels and nerves to dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow and lymph, strengthen phagocytosis and treatment, and accelerate the elimination of wastes and toxins in the body, thus purifying blood, increasing systemic resistance, alleviating illness and promoting rehabilitation.
Disadvantages of back scraping:
1. Where there are boils, ulcers, sores, macules and unexplained lumps on the body surface, it is forbidden to use Chinese medicine for scraping treatment, otherwise it will lead to wound infection and spread. Scraping therapy of traditional Chinese medicine is prohibited for acute sprain, traumatic pain or fracture, because it will aggravate wound bleeding.
Two, there are serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, liver and renal insufficiency, systemic edema. Because Chinese medicine scraping therapy can make people hyperemia under the skin, promote blood circulation, increase the burden of heart, lungs, liver and kidney, and aggravate the condition.
Back scraping method
Scraping the back is usually from top to bottom. Generally, the middle line of the back is scraped first, and then the bladder meridian and Jiaji points on both sides are scraped. The shoulders should be scraped from the neck to the shoulders on both sides. When the holographic scraping method is used, the sensitive tender points near the Du Meridian in the acupoint area and the bladder meridian on both sides are rubbed locally, and then the meridians in the acupoint area are scraped from top to bottom. The specific method is as follows:
1. Scrape the Du meridian first: scrape the Du meridian from top to bottom (Dazhui-sacrum) with one corner of the square scraping board, and the board body is inclined at 45 degrees with the skin, and each action is repeated for 5-8 times until it is chapped.
2. Scrape the meridians of Jiaji point next to Du meridian with the corner surface of scrapping plate.
3. Scrape bilateral scapular seams with a corner of a square scraper, and the scraper is close to the skin, and the penetration is balanced.
4. Curettage of bladder meridian: scrape the outer bladder meridian first, and then scrape the inner bladder meridian (the inner bladder meridian is opened at the position of 1.5 inches on both sides of the spine, and the outer bladder meridian is opened at the position of 3 inches on both sides of the spine).
5. Scraping rib seams obliquely downward: scrape five or six rib seams (not on the ribs), and scrape them from the Du meridian to the bottom of the ribs.
Every scraping part can't pursue rash, so it is better to open the sweat pores in the scraping part. In the process of scraping the back, because the back is a relatively large reflection area of the human body, black and purple scraping spots will appear in the scraping part, which may be due to the problems of the corresponding viscera function and meridians.
Precautions for back scraping
Even though back scraping oil has so many benefits, you should pay attention after back scraping. Let's take a look at the precautions for scraping your back!
First, when you shave your back, you should avoid the wind and keep warm.
Avoid the wind and keep warm when scraping treatment. When the room temperature is low, the exposed part should be minimized. In summer, it is not allowed to blow at the electric fan or where there is convective wind. When scraping, the pores of the skin open and drain. In case of wind-cold pathogen, the pathogen can be directly transmitted to people through the open pores, which will not only affect the curative effect of scraping, but also cause new diseases due to wind-cold sensation.
Second, drink a cup of hot water after shaving your back.
When scraping, sweat and pathogens will be discharged, which will consume some body fluids. Drinking a cup of hot water after scraping can not only supplement the consumed part, but also promote metabolism and accelerate the discharge of metabolites.
Third, the time to take a bath after shaving
After scraping treatment, in order to avoid the invasion of pathogenic wind and cold, it is necessary to wait until the skin pores are closed and restored to their original state before taking a bath, usually about 3 hours. But in the process of taking a bath, when the water stains are not dry, you can scrape them. Because the pores are slightly open when taking a bath, scraping at this time takes less time and has a remarkable effect, but you should pay attention to keeping warm.
Fourth, back scraping should not be repaired in the same place.
It is not advisable to try scraping again at the same place before the spots on the previous scraping part have not retreated. The interval of scraping again should be 3-6 days, and scraping can be made up at ordinary times to strengthen the effect of scraping back.
Five, back scraping after detoxification diet conditioning
During scraping, the diet must be light, avoid eating too much greasy and overweight food, and also regulate the nutrition of viscera in a targeted manner.
In daily life, everyone can take back scraping as a way of daily health care. Massage or shave your back once a week for a period of time, and you will get good results. In addition, I would like to remind you that when scraping your back, you should pay attention to certain techniques and the strength should be appropriate. After scraping, red, purple, black spots or black blisters will appear on the skin surface, which is called "scraping". This is a normal reaction after scraping, and it can disappear by itself after a few days without special treatment.
