What are the benefits of scraping and cupping

Scraping and cupping are commonly used treatment methods in traditional Chinese medicine. Through these methods, the body's blocked waste and toxins can be quickly removed to achieve rapid healing effects. The treatment methods of scraping and cupping are based on the theory of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine. Through such treatment methods, the meridians of the body can be opened up, the functions of the body's organs can complement each other, and even the effect of prolonging life can be achieved.

Gua Sha can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Once the muscles, ligaments, and bones of the human body are damaged, blood stasis will occur locally, causing obstruction of the blood circulation in the meridians. If the blood stasis is not eliminated, the pain will not stop. At this time, scraping the local area or the corresponding acupoints can eliminate blood stasis, generate new blood, dredge the meridians, and promote the circulation of Qi and blood, thus achieving the goal of no pain when the meridians are unblocked. This is the effect of scraping in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Cupping can eliminate phlegm and relieve spasms, soften and disperse lumps on the body surface caused by phlegm and dampness and wind syndrome. Through cupping treatment, the pores can be unblocked, phlegm, heat, pus and toxins can be discharged, and it has a significant effect of relieving spasms and dispersing lumps. Cupping stimulates the acupoints to cause blue or purple congested sha marks, which opens and dredges the pores. It can clear the various evil spirits such as wind, cold, phlegm, dampness, blood stasis, heat, pus, etc. that are trapped in the meridian acupoints and corresponding tissues and organs through the skin and hair, thereby clearing the meridians.

Do not drink alcohol or eat spicy food during scraping and cupping treatment. Keep a relaxed mood. Another thing that everyone needs to pay special attention to is that after scraping and cupping, do not take a cold shower. Because after such treatment, the pores are open. Taking a cold shower at this time can easily cause a cold or other conditions that affect your health.
