what is scraping?
the so-called scraping method refers to the use of hard edges of hard objects or appliances, or fingers, metal needles, porcelain spoons, coins, jade pieces or hair, ramie, etc., dipped in cooking oil, Vaseline, liquor or water, repeated skin scraping, squeezing, pulling, kneading and other physical stimulation on the skin of human lesions, resulting in skin surface congestion point, Congestion spots or punctate bleeding. Scraping is a treatment method that stimulates the skin and meridians on the body surface to achieve the effects of supporting righteousness and removing evil, regulating yin and Yang, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing heat and swelling, softening, firmness and dispersing knots. It is widely spread among the people and is more widely used in southern China. Congestion spots, congestion spots or punctate bleeding during scraping are called & ldquo; Sha & rdquo;.
scraping method is regarded as a simple health care treatment method. It is mostly used to treat diseases in summer and autumn, such as heatstroke, exogenous diseases and gastrointestinal diseases& ldquo; Sha syndrome & rdquo; Most of them occur in summer and autumn. They have a sudden onset, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, chest and abdomen swelling or pain, or even vomiting and diarrhea. Take both sides of the back and spine and scrape them from top to bottom. In case of dizziness, you can also add eyebrows and temples. It should be reminded that when scraping, you should avoid the wind. After scraping, you should drink more hot water to help the curative effect.
treatment principle
1. Adjusting yin-yang scraping can obviously adjust the balance of yin and Yang for visceral function. For example, scraping in the abdomen and back can inhibit the intestinal tract with hyperactivity and return to normal; On the contrary, those with decreased intestinal peristalsis function can promote their peristalsis to return to normal. This shows that scraping can improve and adjust the function of Zang Fu organs and balance the Yin and Yang of Zang Fu organs.
2. Promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and scraping can regulate the contraction and relaxation of muscles and adjust the pressure between tissues, so as to promote the blood circulation around scraping tissues and increase the blood flow of tissues, so as to play the role of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and generating new blood.
3. Shujin Tongluo scraping therapy is mainly to enhance local blood circulation and increase local tissue temperature. In addition, under the direct stimulation of scraping board, the pain threshold of local tissue was increased. The third is to stretch the tense or spasmodic muscles through the scraping board, so as to eliminate the pain.
treatment principles
1. Yin and Yang: is the basic theoretical core of traditional Chinese medicine and the general outline of the eight principles.
2. Inside and outside: refers to the depth of the general disease.
3. Cold and heat: refers to the nature of cold disease.
4. Deficiency and excess: refers to the rise and fall of human healthy qi and the rise and fall of disease and evil.
What diseases can scraping cure?
scraping method is a simple treatment method commonly used in clinic. It has a wide range of applications. In the past, scraping was mainly used for scraping, but now it is mostly used to treat diseases in summer and autumn, such as heatstroke, exogenous diseases and gastrointestinal diseases& ldquo; Sha syndrome & rdquo; Most of them occur in summer and autumn. They have a sudden onset, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, chest and abdomen swelling or pain, or even vomiting and diarrhea. Take both sides of the back and spine and scrape them from top to bottom. In case of dizziness, you can also add eyebrows and temples.
in case of wind heat and sore throat, curettage can be taken on both sides of the seventh cervical vertebra to the seventh thoracic vertebra (dipped in salt water), and the sternocleidomastoid muscles on the front and both sides of the catalpa lifting neck can be used. If you have abdominal pain, you can scrape both sides of the back and spine, chest and abdomen. Vomiting and diarrhea caused by food injury can be treated by scraping along both sides of the spine. Such as chest tightness, abdominal distension and severe pain, it can be scraped in the chest and abdomen. If the head is dizzy and swollen, take the back of the neck and scrape it smoothly, cooperate with scraping or massage the temples. It should be reminded that when scraping, you should avoid the wind. After scraping, you should drink more hot water to help the curative effect.
scraping also has contraindications and bleeding prone diseases; Critical illness, such as acute infectious disease, severe heart disease, hypertension, stroke, etc; New fracture; The damaged and ulcerated parts of the skin; Scraping is not suitable for the elderly and weak, fasting and pregnant women’s abdomen, women’s lower abdomen and face during menstruation.
What should I pay attention to after scraping?
1. Avoid wind and keep warm during scraping treatment. Avoid wind and keep warm during scraping treatment. When the room temperature is low, the exposed parts shall be minimized. Scraping at the electric fan or where there is convective wind is not allowed in summer. When scraping, the skin sweat is released. In case of the evil of wind and cold, the evil Qi can enter directly through the released pores, which will not only affect the curative effect of scraping, but also cause new diseases due to the feeling of wind and cold.
2. Only one disease shall be treated at a time. The scraping time shall not be too long. Strictly grasp the principle of treating only one disease at a time. It is not allowed to carry out continuous large-area Sha treatment to protect healthy qi.
3. Drink a cup of hot water after scraping treatment. Scraping treatment can open sweat holes and discharge evil Qi, which will consume part of the body fluid. Drinking a cup of hot water after scraping can not only supplement the consumed water, but also promote metabolism and accelerate the discharge of metabolites.
4. Bath time. After scraping treatment, in order to avoid the invasion of wind cold, you can take a bath only after the skin pores are closed and restored to the original state, generally about 3 hours. But in the bath process, when the water stain is not dry, you can scrape. Because the pores are slightly open during bathing, scraping takes less time and has a significant effect, but attention should be paid to keeping warm.
5. Scrapping does not have to be scrapped. Scrapping is the external manifestation of toxins in the body. If you are healthy, even if you use strong scrapping, it will not be scrapped. On the contrary, even if the technique is not heavy, it will be obvious.
The therapeutic effect can be shown in the following aspects:
1 promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis
scraping can regulate the contraction and relaxation of muscles and the pressure between tissues, so as to promote the blood circulation around scraping tissues. Increase organizational flow to play a & ldquo; Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis& ldquo; Removing blood stasis and generating new & rdquo; The role of.
2 adjust Yin and Yang
scraping can significantly adjust the balance of yin and Yang for visceral function. For example, for those with hyperactivity of intestinal peristalsis, scraping manipulation in the abdomen and back can inhibit the hyperactivity and return to normal. On the contrary, those with decreased intestinal peristalsis function can promote their peristalsis to return to normal. This shows that scraping can improve and adjust the function of Zang Fu organs and balance the Yin and Yang of Zang Fu organs.
3 Shujin Tongluo
muscle attachment points and damaged soft tissues such as fascia, ligament and joint capsule can send pain signals, and make relevant tissues in an alert state through nerve reflection
. The contraction, tension and spasm of muscles are the reflection of this alert state, which aims to reduce limb activities, So as to reduce pain, which is the natural protective response of the human body. At this time, without timely treatment or incomplete treatment, the damaged tissue can form adhesion, fibrosis or scarring to varying degrees, so as to continuously send out harmful impulses, aggravate pain, tenderness and muscle contraction tension, and then cause secondary pain lesions in the surrounding tissues, form metabolic disorders and further aggravate & ldquo; Impassability leads to pain & rdquo; Pathological changes.
clinical experience shows that if there is pain, the muscles will be tense; Where there is muscle tension, it is bound to pain. They often cause and effect each other. In scraping treatment, we see that when the pain focus is eliminated, the muscle tension is eliminated; If the tense muscles are relaxed, the pain and compression symptoms can also be significantly reduced or disappeared, which is conducive to the repair of the focus.
scraping is an effective method to eliminate pain, muscle tension and spasm. The main mechanisms are as follows:
(1) to strengthen local circulation and increase local tissue temperature
(2) under the direct stimulation of scraping plate with a variety of techniques, Increased the pain threshold of local tissues
(3) is the relationship between tense or spasmodic meridians and twelve skin parts: & ldquo; If you want to know the skin, take the meridians as the discipline, all the meridians are the same& rdquo; The division of the twelve skin parts is based on the circulation and distribution of the twelve meridians, that is, the twelve meridians have branches and collaterals. These collaterals float on the body surface and have their own distribution areas. Because there are twelve meridians, the skin parts are also divided into twelve. The combination of the six meridians of hands and feet is called the six meridians and skin parts.
the branches of meridians are collaterals, and the skin can be said to be the division of collaterals, so Su Wen & middot; “On the skin Department” said: & ldquo; All twelve meridians and collaterals have the same skin& rdquo; The relationship between the meridians of the skin is of great significance for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases《 Plain question & middot; Skin Theory: & ldquo; The skin is also the part of the pulse. If the evil guest is in the skin, it will be opened. If the evil guest is opened, it will be in the collaterals. If the collaterals are full, it will be injected into the meridians. If the meridians are full, it will be abandoned in the house& rdquo; It is pointed out that the muscles of disease evil entering from outside to inside, groaning through skin, groaning through collaterals and groaning through groaning organs can be stretched under the action of various techniques with scraping board as a tool, so as to relieve their tension and spasm and eliminate pain.
4 information adjustment
each organ of the human body has its specific biological information (natural frequency and bioelectricity of each organ). When the organ is diseased, the relevant biological information will change, and the change of organ biological information can affect the functional balance of the whole system and even the whole body.
acts on specific parts of the body surface in the form of various stimuli or various energy transmission to generate certain biological information, which is input to relevant organs through the information transmission system to adjust the abnormal biological information, so as to adjust the diseased organs. This is one of the basis of scraping treatment and health care. If Neiguan point is stimulated by scraping method, point method and pressing method, and the adjustment information is input, the coronary artery blood circulation can be adjusted, the left ventricular ejection time can be prolonged, the myocardial contractility and cardiac output of patients with angina pectoris can be enhanced, and the s-mda of ECG of coronary heart disease can be improved; T segment and T wave, increase coronary flow and blood oxygen supply. For example, stimulating Zusanli point with scraping method, point method and pressing method and inputting adjustment information can have a benign regulatory effect on the function of pituitary and adrenal medulla, improve immune ability and adjust intestinal movement.
5 toxin elimination
scraping process (scraping the skin) can cause high congestion in local tissues, stimulate blood vessels and nerves, expand blood vessels, accelerate blood flow and lymph, strengthen phagocytosis and handling force, accelerate the elimination of waste and toxins in the body, nourish tissues and cells, and purify blood, It increases the resistance of the whole body, reduces the disease and promotes rehabilitation.
6 promoting qi and activating blood
the transmission of Qi and blood (through the meridian system) plays a role in nourishing and warming the human body. Scraping works on the muscle surface to make the meridians unobstructed and Qi and blood accessible, so that the blood stasis can be dispersed, the stagnation can be fixed, and the plug can be disintegrated and eliminated, the Qi and blood of the whole body can be accessible, and the local pain can be alleviated or disappeared.
modern medicine believes that scraping can make local skin congestion, telangiectasia and blood circulation
