What are the advantages and disadvantages of scraping for children?

Nowadays, scraping is a very good way to maintain health. Many people can do it, including children. Because scraping therapy is very simple to operate and the effect is very obvious. This health-preserving method has been loved by many people. But everyone may not know that scraping actually has its advantages and disadvantages. Let us now take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of scraping for children.

Children can also undergo scraping therapy. Children have low resistance and cannot withstand cold, so it is common for them to catch colds frequently. Scraping the back and neck can prevent and treat colds, but children's skin is more delicate, so be careful to be gentle when scraping. You can also try pediatric massage, which has no side effects and is very effective.

Gua Sha is one of the traditional natural therapies. It is based on the skin theory of Chinese medicine and uses instruments (ox horn, jade, cupping jars) to scrape the relevant parts of the skin to achieve the purpose of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Guo Zhisui of the Ming Dynasty wrote a book called "Shazhang Yuheng", which completely recorded more than a hundred types of sha diseases. Wu Shangxian, a famous modern Chinese medicine and external medicine expert, fully affirmed scraping. He said, "For abdominal pain caused by yang sha, the best way is to scrape the back with a porcelain spoon dipped in fragrant oil. The five internal organs are all connected to the back. Scraping will subdue the evil spirits and relieve the disease."

Gua Sha is a method of treating diseases by repeatedly scraping and rubbing a certain part of the patient's skin with a scraping board dipped in scraping oil. Gua Sha is the use of scraping instruments to scrape the meridian acupoints. Through benign stimulation, it fully exerts the role of the Ying and Wei Qi, causes congestion in the meridian acupoints, improves local microcirculation, and plays a role in removing evil spirits, dredging meridians, relaxing muscles and regulating Qi, dispelling wind and cold, clearing away heat and removing dampness, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain, so as to enhance the body's own potential disease resistance and immune function, thereby achieving the role of strengthening the body, eliminating evil, preventing and curing diseases.

Long-term scraping without restraint will cause damage to the skin tissue. It will not only fail to help relieve fatigue, but will also increase the burden on the body. For people with skin ulcers or other skin diseases, scraping is not a pleasure at all, but a torture. It will cause greater damage to the already fragile skin tissue and even cause infection, worsening the condition.

Gua Sha can not only help us get rid of wind and cold, eliminate evil spirits, but also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. However, the scraping process may cause some discomfort, such as pain. In addition, scraping may sometimes cause qi deficiency, or cause colds and so on. Therefore, you must pay attention after scraping.
