Gua Sha for weight loss, these four things need to be paid attention to

Traditional Chinese medicine scraping health therapy is actually very common in our lives. Generally, people also use this method when losing weight. So, what should we pay attention to when using scraping to lose weight?

(1) Keep warm during scraping

People who are losing weight should avoid wind and keep warm when receiving scraping treatment. When the room temperature is low, you should try to reduce the exposure of the body parts. When the temperature is high in summer, you should not do scraping near an electric fan or in places with convection wind. Because the sweat pores of the skin are opened during scraping, if the wind and cold evil are encountered, the evil qi can directly enter the body through the opened pores, which will not only affect the therapeutic effect of scraping, but also cause new diseases due to the exposure to wind and cold.

(2) Pay attention to the scraping time

For those who are losing weight, the scraping time should not be too long during each treatment, and each scraping should be strictly controlled. Do not perform scraping treatment continuously on a large area to protect the vital energy. The areas that need to be scraped for dieters, when the meridian acupoints are used in combination with the holographic acupoint areas, there are multiple holographic acupoint treatment areas, and you can choose to scrape 1-2 of them each time.

(3) Drink hot water after scraping

People who are losing weight should drink a cup of hot water after scraping treatment. Gua Sha therapy opens sweat pores and expels evil spirits, and consumes some of the body's body fluids. Drinking a cup of hot water after scraping can not only replenish the consumed water, but also promote metabolism and accelerate the excretion of metabolic products.

(4) Bathing time after scraping

After scraping treatment, those who are losing weight must wait until the skin pores close and return to their original state before taking a bath, usually about 3 hours, to avoid the invasion of wind and cold. However, during bathing, if the water stains have not dried yet, you can do scraping. Because the pores are slightly open during bathing, scraping takes less time and has a significant effect, but you should pay attention to keeping warm.
