What are the effects of arm scraping?

Gua Sha is a method of detoxification that has existed since ancient times. The so-called detoxification is to remove some waste products produced by the body's metabolism, such as pathological blood, and some toxic substances ingested daily, which will produce toxicity. The body can detoxify itself, such as through sweating and urination, but many times there are too many toxins and the body cannot excrete them. What are the effects of arm scraping?

Gua Sha can 1) promote metabolism and excrete toxins: The human body is constantly performing metabolic activities every day, and the waste produced during the metabolic process must be excreted in a timely manner. Gua Sha can promptly scrape away metabolic "garbage" from the body to the surface of the body and deposit it into the pores under the skin, thereby unblocking blood flow in the body and restoring natural metabolic vitality.

2) Relax muscles and unblock meridians: Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of the shoulder, and low back pain. This is because when the body's "soft tissue" (joint capsules, ligaments, fascia) is damaged, the muscles will be in a state of tension, contraction or even spasm, and symptoms of pain will appear. If not treated in time, the body will form varying degrees of adhesion, fibrosis or scarring, thereby aggravating the condition. Gua Sha can relax muscles and tendons, eliminate painful lesions, and relieve muscle tension, which can significantly reduce pain symptoms while also helping the recovery of lesions.

3) Adjusting Yin and Yang: "When Yin and Yang are balanced, the spirit will be in good health." Traditional Chinese medicine places great emphasis on the balance of the body's yin and yang relationship. Gua Sha has a two-way regulating effect on human body functions. It can improve and adjust the functions of internal organs and restore their balance.

Just like the scraping health method, the scraping tools are also very simple and convenient. Anything with a smooth edge, such as a comb, a porcelain cup lid, etc., can be used for scraping. Of course, if used for a long time or as a treatment, it is better to use a more formal scraping board. The scraping board is made of natural buffalo horn, which has no toxic stimulation or adverse chemical reaction to human skin. Moreover, buffalo horn itself is a traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effects of dispersing qi, activating blood circulation and nourishing. Of course, if conditions permit, it is best to use a special "scraping and blood-activating agent". It is a scraping oil made from natural plant oil and more than ten kinds of natural Chinese medicine, extracted and processed by a combination of traditional and modern high-tech methods. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, opening pores, unblocking meridians, detoxifying and expelling evil spirits, and relieving inflammation and pain.

In order to prevent scratching the skin, you should apply a layer of lubricating oil, sesame oil or olive oil on the skin before scraping. Frequent scraping can eliminate fatigue. Scraping is not suitable for everyone. People with skin ulcers are not suitable for it. People with hemophilia and leukemia should not do it. Scraping will cause local congestion, so people with low platelets should not do scraping.
