First, save the spleen and stomach.

Eating traditional Chinese medicine must go through the digestion of the spleen and stomach to work, that is, it first labors or even damages the spleen and stomach, and one of the more serious side effects is damage to the liver and kidneys. The drug instructions are clearly written. A considerable number of people I have consulted online have taken medicine for a long time, and there is no symptom, and they have injured their spleen and stomach, and they have to recondition their spleen and stomach.Gua Sha acts directly on the skin and does not have to go through the digestive barrier of the spleen and stomach, so it is saving the spleen and stomach. Not only gua sha, but all external treatment methods (acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, compresses, massage, etc.) have this advantage. A good doctor, based on the principle of not damaging the patient’s righteousness, will use internal treatment plus external treatment to treat the disease.

Second, scraping is like sweeping the floor.

 We clean our homes regularly, and we also clean the inside of our bodies regularly. scraping out black sha and purple sha is demining. Those dark-colored, lumpy bulging shavings are the root cause of blocking the circulation of qi and blood and the accumulation of toxins. Since it is clean, if the method is improper, it is easy to damage the qi and blood, so many people are worried that scraping will damage the body.In this regard, there is a way to seek benefits and avoid disadvantages:Don’t be heavy on scraping, don’t be greedy for scraping. When scraping, you can use the strength that can be easily come out. Just like when we brush the pot, there is no need to scrape hard with a wire ball. Some people have weak qi and blood and no sha, so it is also meaningful to use tools to dredge along the meridians.

Third, make the mind and body light. 

Acting directly on the skin, it can quickly metabolize the moisture on the surface of the skin, so many people shave their backs, necks, and legs, and become visually light and firm. It’s on a physical level.At the emotional level, many emotional manifestations, and even different temperaments, are fundamentally differences in internal qi and blood. For example, when the liver meridian is blocked, people are depressed or irritable; If the kidneys are cold, people will be timid; If the courage is weak, people lack decisiveness; When the spleen meridian is blocked, people are worried and suspicious… Wait a minute. At this time, direct conditioning of the body is much more useful than language counseling.
