Traditional Chinese Medicine Easy Scraping Magnetic Therapy Device

Gua Sha tools include Gua Sha board and Gua Sha oil. The selection of scraping tools is directly related to the effect of scraping in treating diseases and health care

Scraping Board

1. In folk practice, anything with smooth edges, such as a comb, enamel cup lid, smooth copper coins, copper spoon handles, porcelain spoons, etc., can be used instead of a scraping board for scraping. Among them are products made from buffalo horns and jade. Both buffalo horn and jade scraping boards help to promote qi and blood circulation, and dredge tendons without any side effects.

Buffalo horn is tough, smooth and durable, rich in medicinal properties and easy to process. The pungent taste of buffalo horn can disperse qi, activate blood circulation and nourish; the salty taste can soften hard masses and moisten the lower body; the cold taste can clear away heat and detoxify. Jade has the functions of clearing the voice, relieving thirst, calming asthma, soothing the mind, and nourishing the internal organs. It is a good medicine with pure energy, which can avoid foul and diseased energy.

Ancient people often wore jade products on their wrists, necks and chest areas. For example, if you wear a jade scraping board on the Tanzhong area, it can nourish the mind, calm the heart, improve health and eliminate diseases through local massage and the body's chronic absorption of some of its components.

Scraping Oil

1. Before scraping, in order to prevent the scraping board from scratching the skin, a layer of lubricant, namely scraping oil, should be applied on the skin surface. Any natural and pollution-free oil can be used as scraping oil. Of course, if conditions permit, dialectical selection of scraping oil based on understanding its medicinal properties and effects can enhance the therapeutic effect of scraping.

2. Finished oils: Cool oils: peppermint oil, cooling oil, etc. can cool and detoxify; hot oils: active oil, safflower oil, musk rheumatism oil, etc. can promote blood circulation, dredge meridians, dispel wind and dampness; neutral oils: tea oil, etc., can be widely used.

3. Homemade oil: Any external prescription can be processed into oil to produce scraping oil with different effects for clinical dialectical use.

Don't think that the scraping method of scraping is a big thing, but in fact the scraping boards used for scraping are very small, and they are all made of jade, with a smooth surface. Scraping is used to eliminate the body's cold and toxins, but please note that the scraping should not be too light, or you will hurt your body.
