Scraping therapy has developed into a natural therapy, which is suitable for many diseases. As early as the Complete Works of Treatise on Febrile Diseases by Zhang Fengkui, a medical scientist in Ming Dynasty, the etiology, pathogenesis and symptoms of the disease were described in detail. He believes that if the toxin enters from fur, it can block the vein of human body, block qi and blood, and make qi and blood circulation not smooth; When toxic pathogens are inhaled through the nose and mouth, they will block the collaterals and make the qi and blood of the collaterals impassable. The deeper these evils go, the more stagnant they become, so the stronger they become, the more urgent they are. In this case, first aid measures must be taken, that is, scraping and bloodletting must be used for treatment.
Scraping therapy is to scrape the blood vessels on the acupoints of the epidermis meridian until the subcutaneous hemorrhage condenses into red spots like rice grains. Sweating makes sweat pores open, and the virus (virus) is excreted immediately, thus achieving the purpose of healing.
◆ What is the effect of scraping? Does it make scientific sense?
Scraping can mainly play the following three roles on the human body:
1. Promote metabolism and expel toxins.
The human body is constantly undergoing metabolic activities every day, and the wastes generated in the metabolic process should be excreted in time. Scraping can scrape the metabolic "garbage" in the body to the body surface in time and deposit it in the pores under the skin, so that the blood flow in the body is smooth and the natural vitality is restored.
2. Jin Shu Tongluo
Now more and more people suffer from cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis and low back pain. This is because when "soft tissue" (joint capsule, ligament, fascia, etc. ) When injured, the muscles will be in a state of tension, contraction and even spasm, and painful symptoms will appear. If not treated in time, people will form different degrees of adhesion, fibrosis or scarring, thus aggravating the condition; Scraping can relax muscles and collaterals and eliminate pain focus; Relieving muscle tension can obviously relieve pain symptoms and is also conducive to the recovery of lesions.
Regulate yin and yang
Yin and Pingyang are the secret, and the spirit is the rule. Chinese medicine attaches great importance to the balance of yin and yang. Scraping has a two-way regulating effect on human body function, which can improve and adjust the function of viscera and restore its balance.
◆ What is "eruption"? Will "eruption" damage the skin?
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. The process of rash is that the blood vessels dilate until the capillaries rupture, and blood flows out and forms ecchymosis on the skin. This blood clot will soon collapse and disappear.
Bubbing's skin is red and looks a little scary. In fact, no matter how red it is, don't worry, because it is harmless to the skin. The color of erythema usually reflects the severity of the disease. The more serious the illness, the more "prickly heat" and the darker the color. If the illness is mild, the less "prickly heat" there is, the lighter the color is. Under normal circumstances, the "congestion" on the skin will gradually subside within 3-5 days and return to normal later than 1 week, which will not only damage the skin, but also strengthen the local blood circulation because of this method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, making the skin healthier and more beautiful than before.
◆ What tool is used to "scrape"?
Scraping utensils are very simple and convenient. Anything with smooth edges, such as combs and enamel cup lids, can be used for scraping. Of course, if it is used for a long time or as a treatment, it is better to use a regular scraping board. Natural buffalo horn is selected as scraping board, which has non-toxic stimulation and chemical adverse reaction to human muscle surface. Moreover, buffalo horn itself is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the functions of promoting qi circulation, promoting blood circulation and nourishing.
In addition, before scraping, in order to prevent scratching the skin, a layer of lubricant, sesame oil and salad oil, should be coated on the skin surface. Of course, if conditions permit, it is best to use a special "scrapping and promoting blood circulation". It is a scraping oil made of natural vegetable oil and more than ten kinds of natural Chinese medicines, which is refined and processed by combining traditional and modern high technology. Has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, dredging pores, dredging meridians, removing toxic substances, eliminating inflammation and relieving pain.
