What does it mean when sha appears on the shoulder after scraping?

I believe that most people are familiar with the health-preserving method of scraping. Scraping can regulate blood circulation, speed up metabolism, and treat acne on the face. However, some people get sha on their shoulders when scraping. Many people don't know what this means. So, what does it mean when sha appears on the shoulders after scraping?

First, what does the appearance of sha on the shoulders after scraping mean? Sha refers to the phenomenon that red, purple, black spots or black blisters appear on the skin surface after scraping, which is also referred to as "sha marks". Scratching causes the capillaries under the skin to rupture, and the blood seeps into the skin, causing bruises. These changes in the skin may last from 1 day to several days. Healthy people will not experience sha after systematic scraping treatment. Instead, they will only experience skin flushing, local fever, and a relaxed body. ②Judge health status by the location of sha. Sha is prone to occur in meridian circulation routes and acupoint areas, indicating functional lesions in the internal organs connected to the corresponding meridians. For example, if sha spots or purple sha appear in the Xinshu point area after evenly scraping the bladder meridian on the back, it means that there are abnormal changes in heart function and health care should be taken early. ③The sha pattern can be used to determine the degree of recovery. If scattered sha appears and is light in color, it means the condition is mild and easy to recover; if there are many sha spots and they are large and lumpy, or there are purple blood bags, etc., it means the condition is severe and requires repeated health care to recover.

Second, sha syndrome is different from sha outbreak. Sha syndrome refers to a number of diseases that occur frequently between summer and autumn, caused by exposure to the six evil spirits of wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness and fire, or by epidemic, foul and toxic gases. Symptoms such as headache, fever, cough, restlessness, dizziness, chest tightness, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, swelling and pain in the hands, feet, head, face, body, and dark blue nails are called sha syndrome, sha qi or sha zhang. ⑤ During the scraping process, when sha marks appear locally, change to light scraping method to make the sha slowly come out to relieve pain, which is called penetrating sha. For some people with neuromuscular paralysis, it is not easy for sha to appear after scraping. Do not scrape hard or hard to force the appearance of sha. It is better to scrape several times. When sha appears naturally, it means that the condition has improved. This is also called penetrating sha. ⑥ If blood clots or blood vessels float in clusters when scraping the lower limbs, it means that the venous circulation function is poor. You should immediately use the light scraping method to scrape in the reverse direction, protect the skin, and promote blood return.

What does it mean when sha appears on the shoulder after scraping? As a traditional Chinese medical and health technology, scraping is increasingly recognized by people, but female friends who love beauty have a love-hate relationship with scraping. Love it because it can remove evil spirits from the body and bring health; hate it because the red sha all over the body affects its appearance. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, when the human body is infected by evil spirits such as wind, dampness, and fire, the Yang Qi cannot be vented well. Gua Sha can help vent the evil spirits, and the appearance of sha is the inevitable result of eliminating the evil spirits. Modern medicine believes that sha is a manifestation of blood vessel dilation to the point where capillaries rupture, bleeding, and the formation of blood spots on local skin. If you want scraping to have a therapeutic effect, sha must appear, which is also the standard for measuring the therapeutic effect. It is unrealistic to expect to avoid the appearance of sha, because during the scraping process, sha will appear before you have time to deal with it. If sha does not appear, its effect will be reduced.
