Can scraping be used to treat bloating?

When we eat unhealthy food, we feel bloated in the stomach, which is caused by indigestion. In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a treatment method called scraping, which is not only very simple to implement, but also does not have the risks commonly seen in surgery. Therefore, it is quite popular in actual clinical applications. So, if you feel bloating in your stomach, can you do scraping?

You can use scraping to treat abdominal bloating.

Gua Sha can produce pain effects by stimulating special meridians and acupoints, which can produce effects on the nerve endings or receptors of the human body. It can send signals to the central nervous system through the transmission of neurohumoral regulation, and through the analysis and synthesis of the central nervous system, it can coordinate the functions of various parts of the body and achieve a new balance. People with bloating can enhance gastrointestinal function and relieve discomfort through scraping.
