Is the purple and black color on the back after scraping serious?

Gua Sha, as a physical therapy method in traditional Chinese medicine, has been widely recognized by people today. Many friends choose to use Gua Sha for physical therapy when they feel muscle soreness or colds. The different symptoms that appear on the scraped area after scraping can indicate the physical condition of the person doing the scraping. Generally, the most common symptom after scraping is purple-black color on the back. So if the back turns purple and black after scraping, is it serious?

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the purple and black color on the back after scraping is called sha, which means that there is a disease in the related organs, which has now manifested itself. Western medicine says that if soft tissue contusion is extensive, it may affect the kidneys. Therefore, you should not use too much force, nor can you say that the more sha the better. You should use a moderate amount. "Sha" refers to sha syndrome, so scraping is to scrape away sha syndrome; in traditional Chinese medicine, sha syndrome is considered to be a disease caused by evil qi, which refers to pathogenic factors that hinder the circulation of qi and blood, such as dampness, phlegm, heat, blood stasis, etc. According to the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, colds are caused by the invasion of evil wind into the human body, which results in symptoms such as fever and swelling. When the body is unable to effectively detoxify, it will cause imbalance and produce sha syndrome. Scraping can expel the "evil wind" in the body.

The first benefit of back scraping: It can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Scraping can regulate the contraction and relaxation of muscles, regulate the pressure between tissues, and promote blood circulation around the scraped tissues. Increase tissue flow, thereby playing the role of "promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis" and "removing blood stasis and promoting new blood".

The second benefit of back scraping: Back scraping therapy has a good effect on painful diseases, colds and fevers, sub-health conditions, disease prevention and health care, and mild organ dysfunction.

The third benefit of back scraping: relaxing muscles and tendons and unblocking meridians. Back scraping eliminates painful lesions and muscle tension. If tense muscles are relaxed, pain and compression symptoms can be significantly reduced or disappear, and it is also beneficial to lesion repair.

The fourth benefit of back scraping: eliminating toxins. The scraping process (using scraping to make the skin sha) can cause local tissue to become highly congested, the blood vessels and nerves are stimulated to dilate the blood vessels, blood flow and lymph flow are accelerated, phagocytosis and carrying power are enhanced, and waste and toxins in the body are accelerated to be eliminated, thereby purifying the blood, increasing the body's resistance, alleviating the disease and promoting recovery.

Now you should know whether the purple and black colors on the back after scraping are serious. Although scraping has many benefits for the human body, it is not suitable for everyone. Women are also not suitable for scraping during menstruation. In addition, you should be careful not to get infected after scraping. If you get infected, not only will you not get the effect of scraping, but you will also need certain treatment, which is not worth the loss.
