What are the benefits of neck scraping?

Now we all know that if adults feel unwell, they will scrape their necks or backs. In fact, we can also try it. However, I heard from people who do scraping that it will be very painful, but it is very effective, and you will feel very comfortable after a while. But I still don’t know what the effect of scraping the neck is? I don’t know what the benefits of neck scraping are? This article will introduce the benefits of scraping.

1 The patient sits at a desk or lies prone to fully expose the skin to be treated.

2 The operator bends the middle finger and index finger into a hook shape, dips them in water, and pinches and pulls up a part of the skin and pulls it forward, then quickly releases it and restores it to its original position. Continues to twist and pull in a certain direction according to the above technique, and repeats it back and forth several times until the pulled skin turns red, purple or black (indicating the severity of the sha) but there is no skin damage. At this time, a crisp "pop" sound is often heard. Due to the pinching and squeezing of external force, the subcutaneous capillaries can be broken, causing blood to seep out of the tissues and cause local congestion.

3 Generally, pinch the area about 20 times, until bruises appear on the skin. When pinching the sha, there is a strong pulling force on the skin due to the effect of clamping the sha, which can often cause local and systemic reactions. The skin at the treatment site becomes flushed and there is a slight pain. However, after the sha is pulled out and local bruises appear, the patient's whole body will relax. This method is suitable for the head, face, abdomen, neck, shoulders, back and other areas where the skin tension is not high.

4 In traditional Chinese medicine, the method of pulling the skin is called pulling sha or twisting sha, which can be seen as a simple variation of scraping. Pulling sha refers to pulling the skin with fingers on certain parts of the body or acupoints to achieve the purpose of treating diseases.

5 According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, scraping can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dredge meridians, and regulate tendons and muscles. From the perspective of Western medicine, there is blood in the small blood vessels on the body's surface that has not been metabolically circulated for a long time. When squeezed by external force, the blood vessels rupture and the blood seeps into the surrounding cell tissues, producing a mild trauma reaction. This can not only promote local blood circulation, but also mobilize the body to produce a stress response, activating the nervous, circulatory, hormonal, immune, excretion and other systems, and enhancing the body's disease resistance.

After reading the above, I believe you also know the benefits of scraping the neck. Scraping can not only cure diseases but also be beneficial to physical health. It can also increase our body's resistance. Therefore, there are many benefits of scraping. We should try more things that are good for our body, not just for our own health. I hope you can benefit from reading this.
