Can scraping cure diseases?

Many people have tried scraping, and some people like it very much. It has a wide range of uses. So, some people may wonder, can scraping cure diseases? Indeed, scraping has many uses, but whether it can cure diseases or not is explained differently by Chinese and Western medicine. But it is undeniable that scraping does have many benefits to the human body and has cured certain diseases or problems.

There are many explanations of the principle of scraping from a Western medical perspective, which are nothing more than saying that subcutaneous capillary bleeding promotes metabolic circulation. But at least it shows that scraping is controversial and has both advantages and disadvantages.

It is based on the skin theory of Chinese medicine and uses instruments (ox horn, jade, cupping jars) to scrape the relevant parts of the skin to achieve the purpose of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Gua Sha is a method of treating diseases by repeatedly scraping and rubbing a certain part of the patient's skin with a scraping board dipped in scraping oil. Gua Sha is the use of scraping instruments to scrape the meridian acupoints. Through benign stimulation, it fully exerts the role of the Ying and Wei Qi, causes congestion in the meridian acupoints, improves local microcirculation, and plays a role in removing evil spirits, dredging meridians, relaxing muscles and regulating Qi, dispelling wind and cold, clearing away heat and removing dampness, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, so as to enhance the body's own potential disease resistance and immune function, thereby achieving the role of strengthening the body, eliminating evil, preventing and curing diseases.

In fact, most people have different opinions on the question of whether scraping can cure diseases. Some people think that scraping is good for the human body, but it may not be able to cure diseases, while others think that scraping is also a method of treating diseases. So, you can consult a doctor about these things, but it is certain that scraping can reduce swelling, relieve pain, and promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
