Scrape here with silver coins, and in less than 3 days, the toxins of the internal organs have escaped by themselves!
There are all kinds of diseases around us in life, but do you know what are the cures?
Many people may not think that a coin can also have a healing effect, coins are very common in our lives, but did you know that using coins instead of gua sha boards is a good method, because the size is smaller, so the force will be more concentrated.
Where to scratch with silver coins?
Gua sha with silver coins can repeatedly rub the skin with coins to make red spots appear on the skin, which helps us to promote blood circulation, generally the toxins in the body are caused by poor blood circulation, and gua sha can invigorate blood and remove stasis, and help the body detoxify.
There are many different acupuncture points on our body, some of which can help us detoxify, clear stool, and improve constipation, and we can use coins to scrape these acupuncture points. I recommend four acupuncture points to you, these four acupuncture points can help the body detoxify, they are the large intestine Yu, the small intestine Yu, the sea of qi, and the Tianshu.
1. First of all, we have to find the specific location of these four acupuncture points, the large intestine Yu and the small intestine Yu are in our lower back, and the large intestine Yu is under the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra in our waist, next to 1.5 inches. The small intestine is located between the beginning of the bone spinous muscle and the beginning of the gluteus maximus, the sea of qi is located an inch and a half below our navel, and the Tianshu is at the position of the left and right fingers of our navel.
2. After we find the acupuncture points, we will start gua sha, but before that, we must clean the coins thoroughly.
First scrape the large intestine and small intestine on the back, you can first apply a little gua sha oil, and then use a coin to scrape from the large intestine to the small intestine, from top to bottom, until the skin begins to redden, sand out.
3. Scrape the Qi Sea and Tianshu acupuncture points around the belly button of the abdomen, you can also apply gua sha oil at the beginning, if the skin stratum corneum is thick, you can also not apply it, and come directly to the gua sha, from Tianshu to the sea of Qi, from top to bottom, until the sand comes out.
Scrape different parts to treat different diseases
Most people tend to have pain when they hold a position for a long time, their muscles tighten and blood flow is blocked. At this time, gua sha can regulate the contraction and relaxation of muscles, regulate the pressure between tissues, promote blood circulation in local tissues, and play a role in invigorating blood and removing stasis.
The method of gua sha is also very simple, where it hurts, you can scrape it, but you should pay attention to the strength of the use, generally the maximum pain you can bear is better, so as to improve the pain threshold of local tissues, that is, the next time you want to feel the pain this time, you need to be more damaged to feel uncomfortable. When this effect is achieved, it can be stopped.
Poor appetite: scrape the abdomen up and down, left and right
Gua sha has a significant adjustment effect on the balance of yin and yang of the five internal organs. For example, if the intestinal peristalsis is hyperactive, scraping coins on the abdomen can inhibit the hyperperistalsis intestine and return to normal; On the other hand, patients with decreased intestinal motility can promote the return of peristalsis to normal. For example, people who are prone to poor appetite, tiredness, inability to eat, and pale tongue can use the edge of the coin to scrape the abdomen from top to bottom, from left to right.
Chest tightness: Chest ribs scraped up and down
In the lower part of the ribs, there is the "Qi Hui" Jizhong acupoint, which can be stimulated to widen the chest and regulate qi. Many people will have chest tightness and shortness of breath after being in a bad mood or exertion, and you can use a coin to slowly scrape the lower part of your sternum from top to bottom. In addition, people who love to burp can also scrape this area frequently.
Relieve liver and depression: scrape the flank ribs
Long-term mental stress can lead to a disorder of the entire body's functions. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that normal emotional activity depends on the regulation of qi, and the liver can dredge the qi, so it can regulate the emotion.
Since the flank on both sides of the human body is mainly the distribution area of the liver meridian, scraping this part can relieve liver depression.
Lack of energy: The coin scrapes the head
The head is the place where the yang meridians of the whole body converge, especially after getting up in the morning, if you still feel that you still want to sleep, you can scrape your head to invigorate the yang energy and make people refreshed.
The simple method is to take the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head as the center and scrape it radially around until the scalp feels hot. If there is a painful point, you can scrape it 5~10 times repeatedly.
Cold: Scrape on both sides of the back spine
Normally, colds are more caused by the invasion of cold, and the back is an important part of the sun meridian, especially the "sea of yang veins" in the middle of the back, if this part can be properly stimulated, it can play a good role in relieving and preventing colds. Gua sha on the back needs the help of outsiders to operate, the person who is scraped can lie down with his back up, and let others use coins to scrape on both sides of the spine from top to bottom, subject to the maximum time and number of times that his body can bear.
Circulation: Scrape the hands and feet
Women and middle-aged and elderly people often experience cold hands and feet, which is believed by TCM to be mainly related to the lack of yang qi or poor flow of qi and blood. When performing gua sha physiotherapy, you can first scrape the palm with the edge of the coin, and after the palm is hot, scrape the four sides of the finger with the coin, from the root to the fingertip, 5 to 10 times in each direction, which can promote qi circulation.
Eye-catching: Scrape the eye area
Using a coin scraping instead of finger rubbing can form a more effective stimulation of the acupuncture points around the eyes. When performing gua sha physiotherapy, first use a coin to press the eye acupoint, and then take the eye point as the starting point and the outer corner of the eye as the end point, and scrape from the upper and lower eye sockets respectively, which can improve the meridian qi and blood flow around the eyes, and relieve visual fatigue and dryness.
Relieves insomnia: Shave the soles of your feet
People with insomnia can shave the soles of their feet at night before going to bed, which can help promote sleep and relieve headaches. The method of scraping is to first scrape the sole of the foot from the sole of the foot to the heel, and then scrape the spring point in the center of the foot with a coin after the scraping is hot.
Stimulate blood and relax tendons: Scrape the neck
If you feel discomfort in your neck and shoulders, you can scrape your neck, which can invigorate blood and relax your tendons and improve the state of stagnation of qi and blood in your neck. When performing gua sha physiotherapy on the neck and shoulder, there are three main routes, namely, the midpoint of the posterior hairline to the large vertebral points, and the upper edge of the two outer corners of the posterior hairline to the left and right shoulders respectively. In addition, scraping the neck and shoulders when you have a cold also has the effect of dispelling wind and dissolving muscles.
Precautions for gua sha
1. The time should not be too long
Each treatment of gua sha should not exceed 30-40 minutes (referring to the use of slow flat and flat laxative scraping), and the time of the initial treatment of gua sha should be appropriately shortened. For those who are weak or thin, the overall gua sha time should be less than 20 minutes. The interval between the two treatments of gua sha on the same part should be 5-7 days, and the principle is that the skin has no spots and the scraped area is painless to touch with your hand before the second treatment of gua sha can be carried out.
2. Drink water after scraping
Drink a glass of warm water, preferably lightly salted or lightly sugared. The human body loses some fluid in the process of gua sha, drinking salt water and sugar water can replenish the fluid on the one hand, on the other hand, it can also accelerate the body's metabolism and promote the discharge of waste products in the body, thereby enhancing the effect of gua sha. Also, don't take a cool shower for 30 minutes after scraping the sha.
3. Don't get cold
Gua sha should be done indoors, and remember to close doors and windows to keep the wind out of the wind. If the weather is hot, avoid fans and air conditioners as well. This is done to avoid getting cold.
For patients with varicose veins and edema of the lower limbs, the technique of the coin is more special, that is, it should be scraped from the bottom up.
4. Select the appropriate medium
When scraping, we often smear some oil or other things on the body, which is actually the medium of gua sha, and the correct choice of medium will promote the effect of gua sha, such as ginger juice for cold relief, carminative oil for muscle pain and soreness of wind and cold paralysis, and kaleihua oil for pain of stasis and meridians.
5. Pay attention to cleanliness
Whether you're using a coin or a gua sha board, you need to wash it and disinfect it with alcohol before using it before using it.
6. The gua sha technique should be correct
Gua sha can not be scraped back and forth at will, but should be scraped along the direction of arterial blood circulation, specifically, it should be: from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, should be scraped in one direction, as long as possible to extend the scraping distance.
The gua sha site is also in order, and the general principle is to first the head and face, then the hands and feet, first the waist and back, then the chest and abdomen, and then the upper limbs and then the lower limbs.
7. The most important thing is: persistence!
This one is the most important thing, and that is to stick to it, don't expect to be good with one scrape, the more severe the symptoms, the longer it will take. Moreover, in severe cases, you can't simply rely on gua sha massage treatment, but also need to cooperate with the medicine and follow the doctor's instructions.
