Recently, I have been learning the health knowledge of Chinese medicine that I use in my daily life, and the reason is very simple, that is, I can use it for myself. In order to be in daily life, like when a family member or friend has a cold, I can pick up a gua sha board and scrape it on their body.

I remember when I was sick when I was a child, my mother often twisted the sha for me. When you grow up, your skin is rough and thick, and it is estimated that you can't twist it, so you can consider gua sha at this time.

In the future, you can directly scrape for a small cold, and scraping is an operation that every household can complete at home, without going to the hospital, which is very convenient. After learning from the teacher for so many days, I am also familiar with it.

The following notes are recorded, and the acupoints and operation methods can be dealt with at home in the future, and there is no need to go to the hospital to take medicine and injections.

Acupoints: Fengchi acupoint, Dazhu acupoint, Lung Yu acupoint, Quchi acupoint, Hegu acupoint, Waiguan acupoint.

The patient takes the prone position, scrapes the head acupuncture points after scraping, and the Fengchi acupoints are covered with hair, and there is no need to apply gua sha oil, and they can be scraped directly. Scrape 20-30 times to the degree of local** fever.

Scrape the lung Yu acupoints on the back, first apply gua sha oil or body lotion, scrape with a gua sha board, take the sha as the degree, and use the edges and corners of the gua sha board to tap the lung Yu acupoints, and use the force to be gentle.

The patient is in the supine or sitting position to scrape the Quchi acupoint, Waiguan acupoint, and Hegu acupoint from top to bottom, holding the patient's hand with one hand and holding the scraping board in the other. The action should be continuous, and the joints should be lifted to avoid. Quchi acupoints can be scraped again, and you can use the edges and corners of the scraping board to tap the three acupuncture points of Quchi acupoint, Hegu acupoint, and Waiguan acupoint.

Press and scrape 10-20 times from top to bottom, with ** sha as the degree. Do not scratch**.

Gua sha gua sha (skin scraping) is one of the traditional Chinese nature, it is based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine skin, with horn, jade, etc. in the relevant parts of the scraping, in order to achieve the purpose of dredging the meridians, blood circulation and blood stasis.

Gua sha can dilate capillaries, increase sweat gland secretion, promote blood circulation, and have an immediate effect on wind and cold paralysis caused by high blood pressure, heat stroke, muscle aches, etc. Frequent gua sha can play a role in adjusting meridian qi, relieving fatigue, and increasing immune function.

Gua sha has developed to today and has become a natural adaptation to a wide range of diseases. As early as the Ming Dynasty medical scientist Zhang Fengkui's "The Complete Book of Fever and Heat", there are specific descriptions of the disease, pathogenesis, and symptoms of the disease.

He believes that if poison enters through the skin, it can block the veins of the human body, block the qi and blood, and make the flow of qi and blood unsmooth; When the poison is inhaled from the mouth and nose, it blocks the veins, so that the qi and blood in the veins are blocked. The deeper these poisonous evils, the more severe the accumulation, then the more intense it is, like a rush like a prairie fire, for this situation, first aid measures must be taken, that is, the method of scraping and bloodletting must be used.

The use of gua sha **, the gua sha utensils on the epidermal meridian acupuncture points for scraping, until scraping out the subcutaneous bleeding coagulated into rice-like red spots, through sweating to open the sweat pores, the sha poison (that is, the virus) is immediately discharged from the body, so as to achieve the purpose of **.

Colds are clinically characterized by nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, cough, headache, chills, fever, and general malaise.

Regular gua sha can play a role in relaxing muscles and invigorating blood, and it is very effective for colds and fevers.

Gua Sha** fever, mainly on the back and upper limbs. Apply gua sha oil to the upper limbs and entire back before scraping (lubricants such as safflower oil, wine and massage lotion are acceptable). Here's how:

1.Scrape the center first. Holding a scraping board, scrape from the large vertebral point in the middle of the spine to the Mingmen acupoint, focusing on scraping the wind pool and large vertebral acupoint.

After the gua sha is over, it is best to drink a glass of hot water to help flush out the toxins from the body. Gua sha fever reduction is suitable for people of all ages (including babies over 3 months old). Because the infant's ** is very delicate, in the gua sha process, the strength should be lighter, just scrape ** until flushed.

Gua sha for adults should be scraped until there are purple petechiae and ecchymosis under the skin.

Scrape the back, scrape hot, coat with ginger juice [fresh] and then cover with plastic wrap, and it can be uncovered after two hours.
