Is pulling sha the same as gua sha? Is it good or bad?

Sha"The explanation in the Xinhua dictionary is: the name of traditional Chinese medicine refers to cholera, heat stroke, gastroenteritis and other acute diseases.

And in the Dongyang dialect,"Sha"It is said that there are 72 types of diseases, and the symptoms of each one are different. However, the sha can be used in the same way to **--- twist the sha.

If you twist it, the force is aimed at one point, and it will be more painful. Therefore, some people choose gua sha because it is relatively not very painful when the force is evenly applied. Of course, gua sha can generally only be done on the back; In addition to the back, the neck and shoulders are often twisted; Because of the wider range, a twisted sha will be more effective than a gua sha comparatively.

It is said"Twist the sha"In some parts of China, it is a kind of earthwork of traditional Chinese medicine, which is mostly seen in poor places in rural areas, presumably because of the fact that the poor have no money to buy medicine. And usually, after the twisting is completed, the patient is generally given a bowl of saline (boiled water with salt), which is also beneficial.

If you think about it, isn't this the same reason as the intravenous drip of Western medicine and hanging glucose (called hanging salt water in local dialect)? Shame.

It's just that Chinese medicine is drinking, and Western medicine is injection. But I don't know how many years, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years have been passed down to this earthwork of traditional Chinese medicine.

Think about it, Chinese medicine is really broad and profound!

It's the same. It's just that the effect is better. The range is smaller. It's painful.

I've heard of pulling sha, there are many kinds of sayings in various places, also called sha, twisting, grabbing, pulling sha and so on. Compared with gua sha, this method is a little more painful, but it produces sha quickly and has a good effect. We often have pulls on our necks.

In fact, it is the principle of cupping.

There is no harm in gua sha, it is the best way to self-**, after the end of gua sha, remember to eat Huoxiang Zhengqi water for better results, the combination of the two, the stomach and stomach on weekdays can basically be cold.

The gua sha site is usually only on the back or sides of the patient's neck. Depending on the condition, it can sometimes be done on both sides of the neck and throat, chest, spine, arm bend or knee bend. You can also choose a suitable part for gua sha according to the needs of the condition. Gua sha should not be used in the following situations:

1 Those who are too thin and lose their elasticity.

2 Heart patients.

3 Patients with edema.

4 Hemophilia or bleeding tendency.

5 Children and the elderly who are infirm.

Gua sha has a certain amount of damage to **, so it is necessary to wait for a period of time after a scrape, generally about five to seven days.
