What are the precautions for scraping?

1. Avoid the wind and keep warm when treating scrapping.

Avoid the wind and keep warm when scraping treatment. When the room temperature is low, the exposed part should be minimized. In summer, it is not allowed to blow at the electric fan or where there is convective wind. When scraping, the pores of the skin open and drain. In case of wind-cold pathogens, pathogens can directly enter the skin through the drained pores, which not only affects the scraping effect, but also causes new diseases due to feeling wind-cold.

2. Treat only one disease at a time.

The scraping time of each treatment should not be too long, and the principle of treating only one disease at a time should be strictly controlled. In order to protect healthy qi, it is not allowed to treat a large area of rash continuously.

For the scraping site provided for each disease, when the meridian points are combined with holographic points, each treatment site can choose 1-2 kinds of holographic points.

3. Drink a cup of hot water after scraping treatment.

The treatment of scraping makes sweat pores open, pathogens are discharged, and some body fluids are consumed. Drinking a cup of hot water after scraping can not only replenish the consumed water, but also promote metabolism and accelerate the discharge of metabolites.

4. Pay attention to the bath time after scraping.

After scraping treatment, in order to avoid the invasion of pathogenic wind and cold, skin pores must be closed and restored before bathing, usually for about 3 hours. But in the process of taking a bath, when the water stains are not dry, you can scrape them. Because the pores are slightly open when taking a bath, scraping at this time takes less time and has a remarkable effect, but you should pay attention to keeping warm.

5. Pay attention to the scraping direction

Don't scrape back and forth. In principle, it should be from top to bottom and from inside to outside. The face is scraped from inside to outside, the head is scraped from top to outside, the neck is scraped from top to bottom, the back and waist are scraped from top to bottom and from inside to outside, the chest is scraped from inside to outside, the abdomen is scraped from top to bottom, and the limbs are scraped from top to bottom. Scrape one place before scraping another. Don't scrape in the wrong order.

6. Pay attention to the scraping time

The scraping time of each part is 3~5 minutes; It takes 5~ 10 minutes to scrape all parts by supplementary scraping method. Usually, a patient should choose 3~5 parts for scraping. For patients with no or little eczema, it is enough to have spots and purple spots on the skin, and there is no need to force eczema.

7. Pay attention to the interval

Before the spot on the previous scraping site has not receded, it is not advisable to scrape again in the same place. The interval between scraping again is 3-6 days, subject to skin scraping: generally 3-5 times is 1 course of treatment.
