What are the effects of scraping essential oil? What are the benefits of scraping essential oil to the body?

Gua Sha is a catharsis therapy that can quickly discharge metabolic waste from the body, including toxins in the blood and turbid water in the body. So what is the effect of scraping essential oil? What are the benefits of scraping essential oil to the body?

1. Promote metabolism and excrete toxins

The human body is constantly carrying out metabolic activities every day, and the waste produced during the metabolism must be excreted in a timely manner. Scraping with a Bianstone scraping board can promptly discharge the metabolic "garbage" in the body to the surface of the body and deposit it into the pores under the skin, thereby unblocking the blood flow in the body and restoring natural metabolic vitality.

2. Relaxing muscles and unblocking meridians

Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of the shoulder, and low back pain. This is because when the body's "soft tissue" (joint capsule, ligament, fascia) is damaged, the muscles will be in a state of tension, contraction or even spasm, and symptoms of pain will appear. If not treated in time, varying degrees of adhesion, fibrosis or shortening will form, thereby aggravating the disease. Bianstone scraping can relax muscles and tendons, eliminate pain, and relieve muscle tension. While significantly alleviating pain symptoms, it is also beneficial to recovery from the disease.

3. Adjusting Yin and Yang

"When Yin and Yang are balanced, the spirit will be in good health." Traditional Chinese medicine places great emphasis on the balance of the body's yin and yang relationship. Bianstone scraping has a bidirectional regulatory effect on human body functions, which can improve and adjust the functions of internal organs and restore their balance.

Scrape the neck to promote blood circulation and relax muscles

Neck and shoulder discomfort is an "occupational disease" for desk workers. Gua Sha can invigorate blood circulation and relax muscles, improving the state of local blood stasis. There are mainly three routes, namely, from the midpoint of the posterior hairline to the Dazhui point, and from the upper edges of the two outer corners of the posterior hairline to the left and right shoulders respectively. In addition, scraping this area when you have a cold can also have the effect of dispelling wind and relaxing muscles.

The hot summer is hot and unrestrained, but sometimes the heat is a bit noisy. How to calm the mood and let the body and mind return to tranquility? Essential oils are definitely the best choice! The eight most suitable essential oils for summer use:

1. Lavender essential oil

Lavender essential oil is well known to Chinese people because of the lavender in Provence, France. The history of lavender essential oil can be traced back to the Roman period. In addition to its well-known hypnotic effect, it also has the effect of soothing emotions and treating sunburned skin. It is a single essential oil that is particularly suitable for summer.

Treatment of insomnia: Put a small drop of lavender essential oil on your pillow before going to bed (don’t add too much), which will help improve your sleep quality.

Soothe your emotions: When you are resting, add an appropriate amount of hot water to the aromatherapy burner and add 2 drops of lavender essential oil + 2 drops of sandalwood essential oil. Let the scent of the essential oil slowly evaporate to every corner of the house. At the same time, you can listen to some light music or do some "slow" exercises (such as yoga).

To treat sunburn: Add 2 drops of lavender essential oil to ice milk, soak the mask paper, and apply it on your face for about 20 minutes. Skin burned by the sun will feel noticeably hot. If you don’t take care of your skin at this time, it can cause permanent damage to your skin.

2. Peppermint essential oil

The cool peppermint essential oil is perfect for use in summer. On a sleepy afternoon, using it to refresh your mind is definitely the first choice. In addition, peppermint essential oil is also very effective in relieving cold symptoms! Wind-heat colds are the most uncomfortable. It can clear the throat, eliminate symptoms such as nasal congestion and headache, and is a must-have essential oil in summer.

Refreshing: 2 drops of peppermint essential oil + 2 drops of chamomile essential oil + 5 drops of carrier oil, massage on key areas such as temples, under the nose or painful muscles.

Treatment of colds: Add 5 drops of peppermint essential oil directly to the water container of the aromatherapy burner and use it for fumigation. It can improve symptoms such as nasal congestion, headache, and sore throat. If you have a fever, you can drop essential oils into cold water and apply a cold compress on your forehead.
