How long is the appropriate scraping time? What are the taboos of scraping therapy?

Generally speaking, when people do scraping, they need to control the time of the scraping. So, what is the most appropriate time for scraping? The following article will analyze it for you.

How long is the appropriate time for scraping?

Each scraping treatment should not exceed 30-40 minutes (referring to scraping with a slow and balanced method of tonification and drainage). The scraping time for the first treatment should be shortened appropriately. For those with weak constitution or thin body, the total scraping time should be less than 20 minutes. The interval between two scraping treatments on the same part should be 5-7 days. The second scraping treatment can be performed only when there are no sha spots on the original skin and the scraped area is painless when touched lightly with the hand.

Scraping time: Generally each part is scraped for 3 to 5 minutes, and the longest time is no more than 20 minutes.

How quickly the sha disappears is directly related to the physical condition of the person being scraped, his or her illness, the location of the sha, the color and depth of the sha, and the number of times the scraping is performed.
