What material is good for scraping board?

Gua Sha is an ancient method of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but it is becoming more and more popular nowadays. Every household may pick up a spoon, a coin or other items and start scraping while watching TV, leaving red and purple blood marks, which is called "Sha", to treat diseases. But how to choose a good and suitable scraping board is actually very important. A good scraping board can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The main thing to consider when choosing a scraping board is the material, because the material of the scraping board affects the color and shape of the sha. We often scrape because we have some discomfort in the body. Scraping boards of different materials will have different treatment and conditioning effects on these discomforts. So what material is the best for scraping board?

Gua Sha boards are generally made of natural dark yellow Bian stones and natural buffalo horns. They stimulate the relevant meridians and acupoints of the human body to achieve the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dredging meridians, promoting qi and relieving pain, clearing away heat and detoxifying, strengthening the spleen and stomach, harmonizing yin and yang, warming the meridians and dispersing cold, promoting qi and blood circulation, enhancing skin permeability, improving organ functions, and enhancing immune function.

The choice of scraping board first depends on the material. From the material of the scraping board, it can be said to be all-encompassing, including iron plate, spoon, porcelain, jade, buffalo horn, ox horn and so on. Most of these are items found in ordinary people's homes and their sources are quite simple. You can just use whatever you have at hand. The earliest scraping tool was a copper coin, which was usually dipped in water before scraping. However, as society continues to develop, the quality requirements for scraping boards are naturally getting higher and higher. Among them, the most common and recognized ones with good quality are Bianstone and buffalo horn. Buffalo horn has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine. Others such as jade should be better, but on the one hand, they are more expensive, and on the other hand, they are fragile.

Choose a good scraping board to honor your parents, because from the perspective of the efficacy of scraping, scraping can treat various diseases, promote blood circulation, and dredge the meridians of the human body. It is a good exercise for health care. Choose a good scraping board for yourself, because it is really tiring to run around every day, and scraping can help you relax your entire tired body.
