Gua Sha regulates muscle contraction and relaxation, allowing inter-tissue pressure to be regulated to promote blood circulation around scraping tissues. Increase tissue flow, thereby playing the role of “activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis” and “removing blood stasis and renewing”.

2. Adjust yin and yang

Gua Sha has a significant effect on adjusting the balance of yin and yang in the function of internal organs, such as hyperperistalsis, using gua sha techniques on the abdomen and back can inhibit the hyperactive person and return to normal. On the contrary, those with intestinal peristalsis can promote their peristalsis to return to normal. This shows that Gua Sha can improve and adjust the function of the internal organs, so that the yin and yang of the internal organs can be balanced.

3. Relax the muscles and clear the circulation

Muscle tension and pain are often causally related to each other, and Gua Sha treatment eliminates the pain lesion and muscle tension.

This is one of the bases for Gua Sha treatment and health care.

5. Eliminate toxins

The gua sha process (using scraping to make the skin out of the sha) can make the local tissues highly congested, the blood vessels and nerves are stimulated to dilate blood vessels, blood flow and lymphatic fluid are accelerated, phagocytosis and carrying force are strengthened, so that the waste and toxins in the body are accelerated elimination, and tissue cells are nourished, so that the blood is purified, the whole body resistance is increased, and the disease can be alleviated and rehabilitation promoted.

Master the correct concept of scraping

The most important concept of scraping is: when scraping, you must follow the direction of the meridians. There are large and small meridians distributed on the human body, and the direction of each meridian is different. Generally speaking, scraping should be done in the direction from top to bottom.

If you don’t understand the distribution of meridians, and do not scrape along the direction of the meridians, but scrape backwards or horizontally, then the bruises scraped out have no detoxification channel, and the sand that hangs out only comes out temporarily, but there is no way to circulate, and it can only be absorbed by the body again. This is extremely harmful to the body. Only by following the meridians to the gua sha can the blood that hangs out be discharged along the bladder meridian in time. It should also be noted that the force should not be too strong when scraping, and the scraping should be as fast as possible.

It is recommended that when scraping, it is best to buy a map of the distribution of human meridians by yourself, and compare the direction of the meridians while doing scraping, so that the operation effect is the best.
