What does the purple color of scraping mean?

Modern people pay more attention to health preservation, and scraping is a commonly used health preservation method, because scraping has many benefits for oneself, such as promoting blood circulation, improving metabolism, etc., and it also has the acne-removing function that female friends prefer. But scraping has many other uses. Some people don’t know why purple spots appear on their skin after scraping. So, what does the purple color of scraping mean?

First, what does the purple color after scraping mean? Generally speaking, black and purple color after scraping indicates that there is a lot of cold and dampness in the body. The depth of the color of "sha" usually reflects the severity of the disease. The more serious the disease, the more "sha" will appear and the darker the color. If the disease is mild, the less "sha" will appear and the lighter the color. Healthy people will not experience sha after systematic scraping treatment. Instead, they will only experience skin flushing, local fever, and a relaxed body. "Sha" is the "stagnation" in the meridians and blood, commonly known as sha poison. It hinders the circulation of Qi and blood, the exchange of nutrients and metabolic products, and causes pathological changes in tissues and organs. Therefore, Chinese medicine has a saying that "all diseases can cause sha". In clinical practice, we call the red and purple spots and patches scraped out on the patient's skin with special scraping instruments sha. The method of producing sha can effectively eliminate toxins from the body, replenish oxygen and remove blood stasis, activate cells and enhance metabolism. The color and shape of sha are related to the amount of toxins in the body.

Second, if light red or red sha spots appear after scraping and they are basically the same level as other parts of the skin, it means that the body is very healthy and this microcirculation disorder can be healed through the body's self-regulation. If after scraping, light red, densely packed red patches with a diameter of about 1/2 cm not higher than the skin appear, it means that the body is in a sub-healthy state, the meridians are in a state of mild hypoxia, and the human body has no conscious symptoms. If after scraping, there are multiple purple-red or blue sha spots with a diameter greater than 2 cm, or they are higher than the skin or at the same level as the skin, it means that the body has a visible disease state and the meridians have been in a state of hypoxia for a long time.
