There are also many large bath centers, and health clubs provide a lot of services such as scraping, cupping and massage. People feel sick or have a cold. When there is cold in their bodies, they will take a bath and scrape or cupping. Many people think that the more painful you shave, the more you get.

Do you have to scrape and cupping?
Scraping and cupping is an external treatment, but it is similar to Chinese medicine in this respect. For example, we have a cold and a fever, and we have taken some traditional Chinese medicines to relieve exterior syndrome. The degree of sweating stops a little, not sweating, but the body surface is sticky and there are no big drops of sweat flowing down. The same is true of scraping and cupping. When the pathogenic factors are on the body surface, if we exert too much force, it will have the opposite effect. So it varies from person to person, so don't blindly pursue it.
Scraping and cupping are not arbitrary scraping, but follow the principle of meridians. For example, if we have a cold, we should work hard on the upper body. There's a saying? Why don't you take the common cold first? Therefore, after catching a cold, you should work hard on your head, face, neck, shoulders, back and lungs. The time and times of cupping and scraping cupping are not as long as possible, just leave the cupping for 5- 10 minutes. If you shave, one part needs to be shaved 20-30 times, and one person can shave for 20-30 minutes at a time.
In the process of adjusting physical condition for health preservation, if the method is not properly selected and operated, it will cause damage to vital qi and even aggravate the condition. Clinically, many patients suffer from subcutaneous induration, severe skin bruising and even necrosis and scarring due to excessive cupping.
Meridian, considered by Chinese medicine to be the channel of qi and blood circulation, many health preservation methods achieve the function of disease prevention and health care by beating and stimulating meridian. Theoretically speaking, acupuncture and other therapeutic methods act on meridians, and achieve the purpose of treating diseases by regulating qi and blood of meridians.
However, what is the basic understanding of Chinese medicine on health? Blood and gas? 、? Harmony of yin and yang This state can not be achieved simply by knocking on meridians; On the other hand, Chinese medicine believes that qi and blood have their birth, growth, transformation, collection and hiding time, which is not only reflected in the four seasons, but also in one day. Inappropriate stimulation of qi and blood is just like exercise when you should sleep, which will disturb qi and blood? Work and rest time? Thereby causing harm to the body.
We should have a deeper and more scientific understanding of Chinese medicine and meridians!
