Gua Sha originated from Chinese folk and is a traditional therapy guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory. It was created by folk doctors in long-term practice. It is widely popular among the people because of its simple operation and easy-to-obtain tools. At that time, Gua Sha was mainly used to treat certain febrile and sexually transmitted diseases. The method was to dip a hard object with smooth edges (such as copper coins) in lubricant and scrape it on the patient's chest and back to promote skin congestion and produce Sha scars. In this way, the heat, poison and stasis accumulated in the body are dissipated, thereby relieving pain or promoting recovery. Nowadays, scraping is not only used among the people, but also gradually enters the medical and health care fields, becoming part of the external treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine.
Common ways of GUA SHA
Corner Pushing
Use the thick edge of the scraping board to push the acupuncture point or lesion point in a straight line, which can warm and unblock the meridians and relieve local pain.
Rubbing
Use the thick edge of the scraping board to rotate and knead the affected area. It is suitable for all parts of the body and can relax muscles, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
Patting
Use the scraping board to pat the affected area gently with an even rhythm. It is mainly used on large areas such as the shoulders, back, and waist to relax the muscles and dredge the meridians.
Pointing
Use the edges of the scraping board to press the acupoints or joints to stimulate deeper tissues. It is suitable for areas with thicker muscles or joint gaps.
When scraping, you need to use lubricants and use moderate force, otherwise it will damage the skin. It is recommended to choose a qualified professional Chinese medicine clinic for scraping treatment to ensure efficacy and safety.
