What are the correct methods for scraping the back?

Gua Sha is a very effective health-preserving method that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. At the same time, it should not be excessively performed. It is best to perform it once a week. Every summer, some people suffer from heat stroke, which can cause headaches or bloating and other symptoms. These symptoms can be treated by Gua Sha. So what are the correct methods for back scraping?

First, what are the correct methods of scraping on the back? The standard equipment for scraping is essential oil and scraping board. Both are available commercially. The scraping board is made of smooth material, does not harm the skin and will not leave scratches. Essential oils can also reduce the pain during scraping, but the effect of this scraping method is not very obvious.

Second, if there is no such standard configuration, there are many things that can be used as substitutes. The scraping board can be replaced with a one-yuan coin, and the essential oil can be replaced with water or alcohol. It’s just that scraping will be much more painful than scraping with the standard configuration, but relatively speaking, the effect will be very good. The method of scraping is to use a scraping board or a coin, dip it in a little essential oil or water, and scrape the back symmetrically from top to bottom. You can start from the back of your neck and shave from top to bottom.

Third, hold the scraping board in your hand, let the edge of the scraping board touch the skin, and then scrape it from top to bottom. Remember to scrape in only one direction, that is, scrape downwards, and then make the angle between the scraping board and the skin as small as possible, which can relieve the pain. When scraping the back, when scraping the left half of the back, use the scraping board to scrape from right to left. Again, you can only scrape in one direction, and keep the angle between the scraping board and the back as small as possible. When scraping the right half, scrape from left to right.

What are the correct ways to scrape the back? After finishing scraping both sides of the back, remember to scrape the middle spine as well, scraping from top to bottom. You can scrape intermittently, and you don't have to scrape all the way in one step, otherwise the effect will not be good. When the middle part is also scraped, the scraping is completed. Do not take a shower immediately after scraping the sha. You should wait half an hour before taking a shower.
