Scraping to invigorate blood circulation, promote metabolism, and get a flat belly

"Gua Sha" has been popular since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It can reflect the health status of the body and is the wisdom of our ancestors. The "sha" scraped out is a kind of blood stasis, which means that there is blockage in the body and the flow of Qi and blood is not smooth. Chinese medicine practitioner Tian Yimin said that through scraping, squeezing, pushing, pressing, kneading, and patting, the body's surface meridians and acupoints can be stimulated to help adjust and activate qi and blood.

At the same time, scraping can adjust the body's system, increase local circulation, promote tissue repair and water metabolism, and improve edema. Modern people sit for long periods of time and lack exercise, which easily causes fat and stool to accumulate in their stomachs, making them potbellied at a young age! Chinese medicine practitioner Tian Yimin pointed out that moderate scraping can promote abdominal metabolism, improve bloating and constipation, and make the lower abdomen flatter.

What should I use for scraping? 】

It is recommended to use a professional scraping board or a porcelain spoon with a smooth edge, and disinfect it before use to avoid accidental scratches and bacterial infection. In addition, it is best to avoid using coins for scraping, as this will reduce the risk of injury.

When scraping, you should choose suitable tools and pay attention to the strength, so that your skin will become healthier.

How to shave to get a flat belly? 】

1. Prepare an appropriate amount of body massage oil or essential oil. With the lubricating effect of the oil, you can prevent your skin from being too dry and injured during the scraping process.

2. Circle your hands clockwise along your belly button and press gently for 1 minute

3. Use the scraping board to gently press the Shuifen point (1 finger width above the navel) and Tianshu point (3 finger widths to the left and right of the navel) for 1 minute

4. Press Daheng acupoint (5 fingers wide from the navel) and Guanyuan acupoint (4 fingers below the navel) for 1 minute

Moderate scraping is good for health, but it is not suitable for patients with anemia, diabetes, tumors, pregnant women and women during menstruation.

How much force should be used when scraping? 】

The redder or more painful the scrape is, the more effective it is not. The key is to scrape the right spot and use moderate force. Chinese medicine practitioner Tian Yimin said that only a certain degree of pressure can affect the deep tissue of the skin. Too gentle pressure will not only be ineffective, but will also cause epidermal edema. However, when scraping areas with thin skin, obvious bones, and more fragile areas such as the head and neck, you should be particularly gentle to avoid causing harm.

[What other precautions should be taken for scraping? 】

Gua Sha cannot be performed immediately after a meal. There must be at least one hour interval. In addition, not everyone is suitable for scraping, such as people with anemia, abnormal coagulation function, diabetes, major diseases, tumors, fractures, wounds on the body, neurasthenia, pregnant women, etc. Girls should not scrape during menstruation.
