What is the reason for sha after back pushing?

We all know that cupping is a form of physical therapy in traditional Chinese medicine. Although it looks cruel and is a form of self-abuse, it can really treat diseases, especially when there is fire in the body, which can be removed through cupping. A similar Chinese medical physical therapy is scraping, which is relatively more painful than cupping. So, what is the reason for the sha in the back?

One reason is that the cold causes physical discomfort, which will cause saliva to come out when pushed. Another reason is that there is too much moisture in the body. Generally speaking, it is still caused by too much moisture in the human body.

Scraping the back can dredge the meridians, activate the collaterals, promote the circulation of qi and blood, expel wind-cold, dampness-heat, and evil spirits from the human body, strengthen the internal organs, and regulate the autonomic nervous system. So how can we tell a person's health status through scraping?

The state of sha disease

Bright red dot-like sha means the disease is short in course and is on the surface. Densely packed purple and dark red sha indicates a long and severe course of illness, with toxins in the skin and bone marrow.

Press the cervical vertebrae and rub the shoulders and neck. If the acupoints are painful or sore, it means you have periarthritis of the shoulder; if it hurts when you rub the shoulders and neck, it means that the meridians are blocked. The bladder meridian is divided into three sections: the heart and lung area, the spleen and stomach area, and the gynecological area, which are the three burners mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine: the upper burner, the middle burner, and the lower burner. If the skin turns dark red after pushing the heart and lung area, it means there is fire in the body; if the spleen and stomach area turns red or dark, it means there is stomach heat or stomach cold; if there are sha particles in the gynecological area, it means there are gynecological diseases, such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, back pain, etc. Press the acupoints on the waist. If you feel soreness, swelling, or looseness, it means you have lumbar muscle strain.

If you feel a cold back and sore shoulder blades when doing back push, it means that there is a lot of coldness and toxins in your body. It is recommended to use scraping or cupping for treatment. If toxins in the body cannot be discharged in time, the toxins and moisture in the body will increase, causing general fatigue, decreased immunity, etc.

Whether it is scraping or cupping, you must find the correct acupoints and meridians. Gua Sha should be performed on different meridians according to different medical conditions to treat specific diseases. And there are differences in the order of occurrence and the severity of the disease, otherwise the condition may worsen. As for cupping, you can cup wherever it hurts. If you can find the right acupoints, the effect of treating the disease will be more obvious.
