Is scraping good for children?

Those who have children at home know that babies are prone to picky eating and loss of appetite during their growth stage. If this continues for a long time, it is easy to cause malnutrition, slow growth and development, and reduced immunity, making it easy to catch a cold and have a fever. This is a headache for parents. In order to improve children's symptoms, they sometimes take them to scrape. So is scraping good for children?

Children can scrape

reason:

1. Gua Sha is one of the characteristic treatments of traditional Chinese medicine. It stimulates the body's surface meridians and improves the circulation of Qi and blood in the trunk, thereby achieving the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, adjusting Yin and Yang, relaxing muscles and tendons, clearing away heat and reducing swelling, and strengthening the body and eliminating evil.

2. As long as children can endure the pain of scraping, there is no problem with scraping.

3. Gua Sha can treat baby's heatstroke, increase children's height, improve eyesight, enhance intelligence, etc.

Using scraping therapy to treat heat stroke in children:

1. Place the baby in a sitting or prone position, loosen the clothes to expose the skin on the neck, back and hands that will be scraped. Wipe and clean them with a hot towel, and then evenly draw lines with clean water or oil to lubricate them.

2. Parents use tools such as spoons or coins to scrape the bladder meridian on both sides of the baby's neck and spine, and scrape out bleeding spots without causing skin damage.

3. You can also put a thin cloth on your neck and back after cleaning your skin, and then scrape the cloth with a scraping tool.

1. Use even force when scraping, and follow the baby's tolerance until sha appears. Do not blindly pursue the appearance of scraping by using middle techniques or prolonging the scraping time.

2. After scraping, dry the skin immediately, let the baby get dressed, drink warm water and rest.

3. To avoid the invasion of wind and cold after scraping treatment, you must wait until the skin pores close and return to their original state before taking a bath, which usually takes about 4 hours.

4. For babies with severe illness and rapid progression, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Do not use scraping therapy alone to avoid delaying the disease.

1. Gua Sha uses external force to make the blood circulation of the trunk smoother, increase the secretion of sweat glands, help eliminate toxins from the skin and reduce the burden on the skin.

2. By scraping the skin of the trunk, you can relieve the soreness caused by long-term fatigue in certain parts of the trunk, relieve trunk fatigue, and benefit the mind and body.

3. According to traditional Chinese medicine, scraping can adjust the circulation of meridians in the trunk, relieve qi and activate blood circulation, dredge the five internal organs and improve the immunity of the trunk.

1. Long-term scraping without restraint will cause damage to the skin tissue. It will not only fail to help relieve fatigue, but also increase the burden on the skin. In addition, the financial expense is also very painful.

2. 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, aggravating the condition.

3. For people with blood diseases, or friends with heart or liver problems, scraping should be avoided as much as possible, as it can cause greater damage to the skin.

Scrape the skin repeatedly on certain parts of the body until dark red spots appear on the scraped skin. The order of scraping is generally from top to bottom, from the middle to both sides. Scraping should be done in a single direction and not back and forth. It is usually done about twenty times.

The head is covered with hair, so you need to scrape the hair with a scraper. There is no need to apply scraping lubricant. To enhance the scraping effect, use the edge or corner of the scraper.

Shave each part about 30 times, until the skin becomes warm. The technique uses the method of equal supplementation and equal drainage, with one hand supporting the head to keep it stable.

Because the appearance of sha on the face affects the appearance, the technique should be gentle, and the degree is not enough to produce sha. There is no need to draw lines on the face to activate blood circulation. Usually, the method of nourishing is used;

Avoid using gravity to scrape large areas. Scrape from inside to outside along the direction of the muscle. Can be taken once a day.

The high bone behind the neck is the Dazhui point. Apply force gently and use the tonifying method. Do not use too much force. You can use the edge of a scraper to scrape it.

The degree is determined by the appearance of sha. The shoulders are rich in muscles, so you should use stronger force, from the Fengchi point to the Jianyu point, all the way to the point in one go, without pausing in between. Generally, the method of equal supplementation and equal purgation is used.

Scrape the back from top to bottom. Generally, the Du channel on the midline of the back is scraped first, followed by the bladder meridian and Jiaji points on both sides.

When scraping the midline of the back, the technique should be gentle and use the tonic method. Do not use too much force to avoid injuring the spine.

You can use the edge of a scraper to press between the spinous processes and on both sides of the back. Depending on the patient's constitution and condition, you can choose the method of tonifying or draining. Apply force evenly and do not pause in the middle.

When scraping the limbs, do not scrape the joints violently. Varicose veins and edema in the hind limbs should be scraped from bottom to top.

If the skin is infected, ulcerated, or has moles or tumors, avoid scraping it. For example, scraping is not suitable for injured or bruised bones and joints, but doing scraping for health care during the recovery stage can help advance recovery.

The knee joint has a complex structure, so when scraping, it is advisable to use the edge of the scraper to scrape so as to grasp the correct position and direction of scraping without damaging the joint. Scrape the joint gently.

If there is water accumulation in the knee joint, it is not advisable to scrape the local area. You can scrape the distal acupoints. Blisters are likely to form when scraping the back and lower end of the knee joint. When blisters form, it is advisable to scrape gently or change the direction if encountering varicose veins and scrape from bottom to top.

The overall sequence of scraping:

The order of scraping the whole body is from top to bottom, first the head, neck, back, waist or abdomen, then the limbs, back, waist and chest and abdomen. The order of scraping can be determined according to the condition of the disease.

For each part, generally the yang meridian is scraped first, then the yin meridian; the left side of the scrotum is scraped first, then the right side of the scrotum.
