Is scraping effective for acne on face?

Gua Sha is a relatively familiar health care method for us. Appropriate scraping can effectively remove the cold in the body and also can achieve the effect of treating diseases. Although scraping can effectively improve the body, it cannot treat acne. Acne can be removed through skin care and pay more attention to skin cleansing.

Is scraping useful for acne?

1. Scraping the back has no effect on acne on the face.

2. Gua Sha has the effects of regulating qi and promoting blood circulation, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relaxing muscles and tendons, and expelling evil spirits and detoxifying. It has been widely used in various diseases in internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, as well as in the fields of beauty and health care. It is particularly suitable for the rehabilitation of painful diseases and degenerative bone and joint diseases such as cervical spondylosis and frozen shoulder; it can be used in combination with cupping for respiratory diseases such as colds, fever, and coughs; it can be used in combination with acupuncture, bloodletting and other therapies for disfiguring diseases such as acne and chloasma; it is also suitable for the prevention and treatment of sub-health, chronic fatigue syndrome and other diseases.

3. Pay attention to acne after it occurs:

The face is the area with the most concentrated sebaceous glands in the human body, so when it gets angry or inflamed, it is easy to become inflamed and red, and even small red pimples and pus may appear. Therefore, you should pay attention to cleansing your face on a daily basis and wash your face frequently with clean water. Sulfur soap is very effective for acne.

No matter how itchy it is, do not squeeze the pimples with your hands. The bacteria on your hands can easily cause suppuration and inflammation. When the abscess bursts, it will form scars and pigmentation, which will look different from the surrounding skin color and greatly affect your appearance. On weekdays, you should eat more light fruits and vegetables to prevent heat from being generated in the body.

Keep a happy spirit and don't let stress or irritability cause autonomic nervous system disorders and endocrine disorders, which will aggravate the acne on your face. If the acne is not too serious, you can let it go away on its own, but if the acne is very serious, you must take medication in time for treatment.

Benefits of Gua Sha

You can first scrape your palms with the surface of the scraping board. After your palms become warm, use the grooves on the scraping board to scrape all sides of your fingers, from the base to the fingertips, scraping 5 to 10 times in each direction. This can effectively promote qi and unblock the meridians.

Scraping the abdomen can help with bowel movements. Long-term constipation not only affects the digestion and absorption function, but also causes the body to absorb a large amount of toxins. The patient can use the scraping board to scrape the abdomen from top to bottom and from left to right. It should be noted that if there is sagging of internal organs, it should be scraped from bottom to top.

Scraping the area around the eyes can improve eyesight. Many people do eye exercises and are very familiar with several of the acupoints. Using scraping instead of finger massage can better stimulate the acupoints. You should first use a scraping comb to press the Jingming point (on both sides of the nose bridge, about half a centimeter away from the inner corner of the eye), and then use the Jingming 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. This can effectively improve the circulation of qi and blood in the meridians around the eyes and relieve visual fatigue.
