First, the scraping board
Scraper is the main tool for scraping. At present, various shapes of scraping boards and multifunctional scraping combs have come out one after another, including buffalo horn products and jade products. Buffalo horn is tough, smooth and durable, rich in medicinal resources and simple to process. Its medicinal properties are similar to those of rhinoceros horn, but its medicinal properties are weak, so it is often used as a substitute for rhinoceros horn. Buffalo horn tastes spicy, salty and cold. Xin can promote qi, promote blood circulation and nourish; Salty can be soft and firm; Cold can clear away heat and detoxify. Therefore, buffalo horn has the functions of regulating qi, clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Jade tastes sweet, enters the lung meridian, moistens the heart and lungs, and clears away lung heat. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, jade has the functions of hoarse voice, relieving polydipsia, relieving asthenic asthma, calming the heart and nourishing the nature. It is a good medicine for nourishing vital energy, which can avoid the pathogenic qi from being polluted. Ancient people often wore jade articles on their wrists, necks and waists. If the jade scraping board is worn in the middle part of the Han nationality, it is not only convenient to use, but also can nourish the heart, strengthen the body and get rid of diseases through local massage and chronic absorption of some ingredients. Buffalo horn and jade scraping board are helpful to promote qi and blood circulation and dredge meridians without side effects.
Scrapers are generally rectangular with smooth edges and rounded corners. The two long sides of the scraper are slightly thicker and thinner. The thin surface is used to scrape the flat part of human body, the concave thick surface is suitable for massage and health care scraping, and the scraping angle is suitable for scraping the concave part of human body. Scraper (patent number 9620 1 109.66) is suitable for two scraping methods of meridian holography. One side of the scraping board has symmetrical rounded corners, and its two corners are not only suitable for scraping the concave parts of the human body, but also for scraping the spine and holographic acupoints on the head.
Scraping boards of buffalo horn and jade products can be washed and dried with soapy water or wiped and disinfected with water. In order to avoid cross infection, it is best to fix a special board for use. If the buffalo horn scraper is placed in a humid place for a long time, or soaked in water, or exposed to dry air for a long time, it will crack and affect its service life. Therefore, it should be dried immediately after scraping and washing, and it is best to keep it in a plastic bag or leather case. Avoid bumping when storing jade plates.
Second, lubricants.
The lubricant for scraping treatment should be a lubricant with drug therapeutic effect. This lubricant should be made of drugs with the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, diminishing inflammation and relieving pain, and vegetable oil with strong permeability and good lubricity. The therapeutic effect of drugs is helpful to dredge meridians, promote qi and blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Vegetable oil has the function of moistening and protecting skin. Applying lubricant during scraping can not only relieve pain and accelerate the discharge of pathogenic factors, but also protect the skin, prevent infection and make scraping safe and effective. At present, there are two kinds of lubricants that meet the above requirements: blood-activating emollient grease and scrapping and blood-activating agent. Blood-activating and skin-moistening fat has a wide range of functions. Because it is an ointment preparation, it is not only lubricious, but also easily absorbed by the skin, and has a lasting effect of promoting blood circulation and moistening skin. Especially suitable for facial beauty scraping, scraping and skin care.
Section III Scraping Methods and Reaction after Scraping
Correct scraping method can improve the curative effect of scraping and shorten the healing time. The seven scraping methods introduced in this section are not only aimed at the characteristics of scraping, but also refer to some techniques of acupuncture and massage, which are suitable for the anatomical characteristics of various parts of the body and the needs of diseases and syndromes. Clinical symptoms can be comprehensively applied according to the location and symptoms, master the essentials of scraping and understand the reaction after scraping.
First, the method of holding the board
Hold the scraper by hand, with the bottom edge of the scraper placed horizontally on the palm, and the thumb and other four fingers bent on both sides of the scraper respectively.
Second, the scraping method
1, surface scraping method
Use a hand-held scraper. When scraping, the blade of scraper 1 touches the skin. The scraper is inclined to the scraping direction by 30 ~ 60 degrees, and is used most at the angle of 45 degrees. It is scraped many times in the same direction with wrist force, which has a certain scraping length. This manipulation is suitable for meridians and acupoints in relatively flat parts of the body.
2. Angle scraping method
Scrape the corner of the scraper on the acupoint from top to bottom, and the scraping surface is inclined at 45 degrees with the scraped skin. This scraping method is mostly used for Shoulder True Point, Chest Zhongfu Point and Yunmen Point.
3. Click method
The angle of the scraper is perpendicular to the acupoint at 90 degrees, from light to heavy, gradually exert force, and then suddenly lift it after a while, so that the muscles can recover, repeated many times, and the technique is coherent. This manipulation is suitable for boneless soft tissues and depressed parts of bones, such as Renzhong Point and Knee Eye Point.
4. Beating method
Tap the acupoints on the body surface with the plane at one end of the scraper. Clapping is mostly performed in the limbs, especially in the temporal fossa and knee fossa. When slapping, you must first apply scraping lubricant to the slapping part. Paipai can treat limb pain, numbness and heart and lung diseases.
5. Teaching kneading method
Press one corner of the scraper on the acupoint at an angle of 20 degrees and rotate it gently. The angular plane of the scraper never leaves the skin it touches, so the speed is slow. Friction should go deep into subcutaneous tissue or muscle. It is often used to treat pain points in acupoints with strong effects on viscera, such as holographic acupoints of Hegu, Zusanli, Neiguan, neck, back and waist.
6. Scraping method
The corner of the scraper is perpendicular to the acupoint area at a 90-degree angle, and the scraper never leaves the skin. A certain pressure is applied at a short distance (about 1 inch long) and rubbed back and forth or left and right. This technique is suitable for holographic acupoints on the head.
7. Shuzheng Meridian Method
According to the direction of the meridian, scrape along the meridian with a scraper from bottom to top or from top to bottom, with gentle and even force, smooth and gentle, and continuously. A scraping surface should be long, generally scraping from elbow joint and knee joint to toe. It is often used to regulate meridians as a whole, relax muscles and eliminate fatigue after scraping.
In the course of treatment, several scraping methods can be flexibly selected or combined according to the condition and scraping site.
Third, the essentials of scraping
1, press the pressure
When scraping, in addition to exerting force in the scraping direction, it is more important to exert downward pressure on the skin, because the meridians and holographic acupoints have a certain depth in the human body, and the scraping force must be transmitted to deep tissues to have a therapeutic effect. The penetration depth of scraper force should reach subcutaneous tissue or muscle, and if the force is large, it can reach bone and internal muscle. Don't use pressure to scrape the yarn, you can only rub it on the skin surface. This scraping method not only has no therapeutic effect, but also causes epidermal edema due to repeated rubbing. However, the greater the pressure, the better. People's physique and illness are different, and the stress intensity during treatment is also different. The local anatomical structure of each part is different, and the pressure intensity it can bear is also different. The stress of the protruding part of the bone is lower than that of other parts. The intensity can be determined according to the patient's physique, illness and endurance. The correct scraping technique should always keep the pressing force. The scraping speed should be even and the strength should be steady. Don't neglect the weight, light head and heavy tail, or light head and heavy tail.
2, point, surface, line combination
Points are acupoints, and acupoints are the parts where the qi of human viscera and meridians is injected into the body surface. The surface refers to the part where the edge of the scraper contacts the skin during scraping treatment, which is about 1 inch wide. This face, as far as meridians are concerned, is its skin; In terms of holographic cave area, it is its cave area. Line refers to the meridian, which is the main line in the meridian system, parallel to the body surface, with a deep trend and a width of about1mm. Point. The scraping method of combining surface and thread is to dredge meridians, strengthen the stimulation of key acupoints and master a certain scraping width. Because the scraping range is within the skin range of the meridian, and the meridian line is just below the skin range, the scraping has a certain width, which is convenient for accurately containing the meridian. The scraping in the holographic acupoint area is an area with a certain area. Scraping method is mainly to dredge and adjust meridians, supplemented by strengthening key points. Compared with meridians and acupoints, the emphasis is on meridians. When scraping, the focus is on finding meridians, and it is better to lose its points without losing its meridians. As long as the location of the meridians is accurate, the acupoints are among them, and the dredging and regulating function of the meridians as a whole is always valued. The combination of point, surface and line is the characteristic of scraping, and it is also one of the reasons why scraping is simple and easy to learn, and the curative effect is remarkable.
3. Scraping length
When scraping meridians, there should be a certain scraping length, about 4 to 5 inches of city ruler. If the meridian to be treated is long, it can be scraped in sections. The scraping of key acupoints erases the concave part, but also has a certain length. Generally, it is centered on acupoints, with a total length of 4 to 5 inches from top to bottom, with emphasis on acupoints. In the process of scraping, one part should be scraped first and then another part should be scraped. When encountering acupoints or acupoints with severe pathological reaction and large scraping reaction, in order to relieve the pain, other acupoints can be scraped first. Let's have a rest here first, and then continue the treatment.
Fourth, the reaction after scraping.
Scraping treatment, due to different conditions, different colors and forms of scraping may appear in the treatment area. There are bright red, dark red, purple and cyan black spots on the skin surface. Eczema is scattered, dense or patchy, and blister-like eczema can be seen on the skin surface of those with severe dampness. Hypochondriac diseases in the deep layer of the skin are mostly lumps or nodules of different sizes. Deep skin surface skin faintly visible blue and purple. During the scraping treatment, the local skin of scraping has obvious fever.
After scraping for about half an hour, the traces on the skin surface gradually merged into pieces. Deep mass-like tuberculosis slowly disappeared and gradually spread from deep to body surface. About 12 hours, the skin on the surface of mass-like tuberculosis gradually turns blue-purple or blue-black. The deep nodular tuberculosis subsided slowly, and the skin surface gradually turned blue-purple or blue-black around 12 hours.
Within 24 ~ 48 hours after scraping, the skin on the scraping surface feels painful when touching, and the skin surface with severe scraping is slightly hot. If the scraping technique is too heavy or the scraping time is too long, people with weak constitution will have a short-term fatigue reaction, and in severe cases, they will have a low fever within 24 hours and will return to normal after rest.
Abrasive scabs usually disappear within 5 to 7 days. The time of disappearance is closely related to the location, color and depth of eruption. The scabs on the chest and back, upper limbs, light-colored scabs and skin surface fade quickly, while those on lower limbs, abdomen, dark scabs and deep subcutaneous scabs fade slowly. Eczema caused by yin meridian subsides more slowly than eczema caused by yang meridian, which is generally delayed to about 2 weeks.
Section 4 Scraping Methods and Sequences of Different Parts of Human Body
According to the anatomical characteristics of various parts of the human body, the scraping method is selected, and the scraping order is determined according to the needs of the disease. During the treatment, after wiping the acupoints at the same position, wipe the acupoints at another position. During the treatment, the patient's posture should be comfortable, which is beneficial to cooperate with the treatment and minimize the number of times to put on and take off clothes.
First, the scraping method of various parts of the human body
1, head
The head is covered with hair and must be scraped with face-lifting method. No scraping lubricant is required. In order to enhance the scraping effect, the thin edge of the scraper or the corner of the scraper can be used for scraping, and each part can be scraped for about 30 times until the scalp feels hot.
Temples: scrape the temples from front to back or from top to bottom with the corner of the scraper.
On both sides of the head: the scraper is placed vertically from the scalp point to the lower sideburns and scraped back and down along the hairline on the ear to the back hairline.
Top of the head: the top of the head is bounded by Baihui point, scraping from left to right to forehead hairline or scraping from forehead hairline to Baihui point.
Posterior head: the posterior head is scraped down from Baihui point to the hairline of the posterior neck, from left to right in turn. The wind pool point can be scraped with a scraper.
The head can also be scraped radially around Baihui point.
Holographic acupoint area: the frontoparietal band is scraped from front to back or from back to front. Scrape the top pillow belt and the lower pillow belt from top to bottom. The anterior oblique band of the parietal neck or the posterior oblique band of the parietal temporal region and the posterior oblique band of the parietal region are scraped from top to bottom. The treatment of middle frontal band and lateral frontal band is scraping up and down, and scraping up and down or left and right for health care. Scraping method is used to scrape the holographic point area.
Step 2 face
Wipe the face from the inside out according to the muscle direction. Facial congestion affects the appearance, and the technique should be gentle, and it is forbidden to scrape a large area with gravity. Treatment of eye, mouth, ear and nose diseases must be approved by myself before scraping. The strength, direction, angle and frequency of scraping are based on the convenience of scraping and the local tolerance of patients.
3. Back
Wipe your back from top to bottom. Generally, the middle line of the back is scraped first, and then the bladder meridian and Jiaji points on both sides are scraped. The shoulders should be scraped from the neck to the shoulders on both sides. When the holographic scraping method is used, the sensitive tender points near the Du Meridian in the acupoint area and the bladder meridian on both sides are rubbed locally, and then the meridians in the acupoint area are scraped from top to bottom.
4. Chest
On the center line of the chest, from the tiantu point to the Zhongshan point, scrape from top to bottom with the corner of the scraper.
On both sides of the chest, with the front midline of the body as the boundary, scrape the whole edge of the scraper from the inside out along the ribs to the left and right (first left and then right), and pay attention to the nipple. The corners of Zhongfu point should be scraped from top to bottom with a scraper.
5. Waist
The abdomen is scraped from top to bottom. You can scrape the entire edge of the scraper or the 1 edge of the scraper in turn from left to right. If the internal organs droop, they should be scraped from bottom to top.
6, limbs
Scrape limbs from the proximal end to the distal end. Patients with varicose veins and edema of lower limbs should scrape off their limbs from the far end to the near end, and the protruding parts of joints and bones should be reduced.
Second, the overall scraping sequence
The overall scraping order is from top to bottom, first head, back, waist or chest and abdomen, and then limbs. The back, waist, chest and abdomen can be scraped according to the condition. Generally, the yang meridian is scraped first, and then the yin meridian is scraped. Scrape the left side of the body first, then the right side.
Third, the implementation steps of scrapping therapy
1, select tool
Scraper edges should be smooth, corners should be blunt, and the thickness should be moderate. Carefully check the edges for cracks and roughness, so as not to hurt the skin.
2, explain the work
When the patient is first diagnosed with scraping, the common sense of scraping should be introduced to the patient first. Sensitive person, who is nervous and painful, should be well explained and appeased in order to obtain the active cooperation of patients.
Step 3 choose body posture
We should choose a position that is convenient for the curettage operator, can fully expose the curettage part, can make the patient feel comfortable, is conducive to relaxing the muscles of the curettage part and can cooperate for a long time.
Generally sit down and choose a chair with a backrest. Shave your back. The man sits facing the back of the chair and the woman sits on the side, so that your body can lean back. Scrape the front of chest, abdomen, upper limbs and lower limbs, and take a positive sitting position. When scraping the back of lower limbs, take a standing position and lean your hands on the back of the chair. Patients with deficiency syndrome with serious illness or weak physical strength can take a lying position, and according to the needs of scraping parts, they can take a supine position, a prone position or a lateral position. Relaxation of the muscles in the abraded area is beneficial to the operation.
Step 4 Apply scraping lubricant
Expose the scraping part, and apply scraping lubricant on the scraping meridian points. A small amount of blood-activating moisturizing oil can be squeezed out from the nozzle and applied to the scratched part, and evenly applied with a scraper. If the scraping and blood-activating agent is used, the bottle mouth is facing down, so that the scraping and blood-activating agent will slowly drip out of the small hole by itself, and it is not allowed to be squeezed. Because there are too many scraping and blood-activating agents, it is not conducive to scraping and wiping, and it will run down the skin and dirty clothes.
5. Scraping
Holding a scraper, first evenly apply the scraping lubricant dripping on the skin with the edge of the scraper from bottom to top, and then scrape with the edge of the thin surface of the scraper from top to bottom or from inside to outside in the same direction, about 1 inch wide. Pay attention to the strength of scraping from the beginning to the end every time, and scrape each meridian or acupoint area about 20 ~ 30 times according to the condition.
Section 5 Tonifying and Reducing Manipulation
Scraping therapy is mainly based on scraping, and different scraping methods should be adopted for patients with different constitutions and diseases. Clinically, there are three methods: reinforcing method, purging method and flat reinforcing and purging method. Scraping technology is determined by two factors: scraping strength and speed.
I. Tonifying method, purging method, and leveling method.
1, complement method
Tonifying method has low pressure and slow speed, which can stimulate healthy qi and restore low function. Clinically, it is mostly used for patients with deficiency syndrome such as old age, infirmity, chronic illness, serious illness or emaciation.
2. Purging method
The purgation method has the advantages of high pressure and high speed, and can eliminate pathogenic factors and restore hyperfunction to normal. Clinically, it is mostly used for young, strong, initial, acute or strong empirical patients.
3, flat step Xie Ping method
There are three kinds of scraping methods, namely, flat scraping method. The first one is that the pressing force is large and the speed is slow; The second is that the pressing pressure is small and the speed is fast; The third is moderate pressure and speed. The specific application can be flexibly selected according to the patient's condition and physique. Among them, moderate pressure and speed are easy to be accepted by patients. Pingbu Xieping method is between tonic method and purgative method, and is often used for health care of normal people or treatment of excess and deficiency.
The principle of reinforcing and reducing manipulation is applicable to the above-mentioned face scraping method, angle scraping method and racket playing method.
Second, the specific application of various skills.
First of all, according to the patient's physique and condition, determine the scraping method. But no matter what syndrome type, we should start with supplementary curettage, then decide the pressure according to the physique and posture, and then gradually transition to flat curettage and diarrhea curettage to make patients adapt. For patients with deficiency syndrome, the supplementary scraping method is the main method. On the basis of supplementary scraping, flat scraping can be applied to the main meridian points for a short time to enhance the therapeutic effect. Empirical patients can be treated with diarrhea and curettage, and then end up with supplementary curettage. Or after the treatment, regulate qi and blood by dredging qi. Those who master the method of syndrome differentiation of zang-fu organs can use it flexibly according to the condition, such as the type of deficiency and excess, when the qi is abundant, the meridians are scraped, and when the qi is insufficient, the meridians are scraped.
Third, the factors that determine the reinforcing and reducing effect
The effect of reinforcing and reducing is determined by one factor: the state of the body, the characteristics of acupoints and the method of scraping and wiping. Scraping technique is one of the factors. The state of the body is directly related to the effect of reinforcing and reducing. When the body is full of healthy qi, the menstrual qi is easy to be stimulated, and scraping and wiping have a significant effect on reinforcing and reducing diarrhea. When the healthy qi of the human body is insufficient, the menstrual qi is not easily excited, and the scraping and scraping adjustment is slow. The characteristics of acupoints are also a factor. Some acupoints are strong, such as Zusanli and Guanyuan. Scraping these acupoints can replenish deficiency. Some acupoints have purgative effect, such as Jianjing point and Quchi point. Scraping these acupoints can play a laxative role. The meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine holds that "qi flowing along the meridian will replenish, while qi flowing against the meridian will diarrhea". In scraping therapy, health scraping and general disease treatment don't have to stick to this statement, mainly relying on the speed and strength of scraping techniques to supplement deficiency and reduce excess. For deficiency syndrome with weak constitution, we can refer to this theory and scrape it according to the running direction of meridian qi and blood to reinforce and reduce it.
Section 6 Types and course of treatment of holographic scrapping therapy for meridians
The meridian holographic scraping method can be used to treat scraping and health care scraping respectively, and can be selected according to health status. There is a strict time limit for treating scraping, but there is no time requirement for health scraping. There is no definite time limit for the course of scraping therapy, which can be flexibly mastered according to the condition.
I. Types of scratches
1, scraping therapy
The treatment of scraping is suitable for the treatment of various diseases and syndromes. Has the effects of promoting qi circulation, relieving pain, promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and regulating viscera. Scraping lubricant must be applied to treat scraping, and the above steps should be followed. Facial care, health scraping or beauty scraping can be coated with blood-activating emollient grease. Scraping and blood-activating agent should not be directly applied to face to prevent it from flowing into eyes. You can drop a little on the edge of the scraper before wiping your face.
2, health scraping
Health-care scraping is suitable for healthy people to prevent diseases, or recover from chronic diseases, and between the two treatment methods of scraping. The function of health-preserving scraping is to stimulate the circulation of qi and blood in meridians, dredge meridians, relax muscles and promote blood circulation. Health scraping does not use scraping lubricant, but directly wipes the skin with the edge of the thick surface of the scraping device, or wipes it through clothes. The scraping force is between light and heavy. Because no scraping lubricant is used, it can be scraped until it is locally red or hot, so as not to damage the skin. Each part is generally scraped 10 times. If there is hair on the head, you can use the thin edge of the scraper or comb it, and the scraping force can be increased appropriately. Generally, each part is scraped about 30 times.
Second, the scraping time.
1, scraping time
During scraping treatment, sweat pores are opened and qi is consumed. In order to help strengthen the body resistance and eliminate pathogenic factors without damaging the healthy qi, the treatment time is generally limited to less than 25 minutes, and one disease is treated at a time. If the purgation method is used for more than 25 minutes, it will consume excessive essence and lead to fatigue reaction.
Scraping treatment should be carried out half an hour after meals.
After the first treatment of scraping, the second treatment can only be carried out after the scraping site subsides. The disappearance time is directly related to the patient's constitution, illness, the position of rash and the frequency of scraping, generally about 5 ~ 7 days. Therefore, the interval between two treatments of scraping should be 5 to 7 days. In order to promote the regression of scraping, health scraping can be carried out between two treatments. If you need continuous treatment, you can scrape holographic acupoints in other parts.
2, health scraping time
The scraping force of health-care scraping is relatively light, and the scraping time of each part is short, so there will be no scraping phenomenon, so health-care scraping can be carried out every day without time limit and interval.
Third, the process of scraping
Scraping therapy belongs to natural therapy. Scraping board is used to treat the skin surface. Although the scraping board and lubricant have certain efficacy, they only touch the skin surface, which has the functions of protecting and moistening the skin, strengthening the dredging of meridians and stimulating holographic acupoints, and the amount of medicine entering the body is very small. So there is no strict course of treatment for scraping. In the treatment of scraping, in order to observe the response and curative effect, according to the priority of the disease, the course of treatment is roughly determined as follows: two courses of treatment for acute diseases are one course of treatment. Four courses of chronic diseases.
Section 7 Indications, Precautions and Contraindications
The occurrence of any disease is caused by the abnormal operation of qi and blood in meridians and the imbalance of yin and yang in viscera. Meridian theory is the theoretical basis of TCM treatment, and holographic scraping method based on meridian theory and holographic diagnosis and treatment theory is widely applicable to various clinical diseases. Meridian holographic scraping method is to scrape the meridian points and holographic points of the skin as the treatment means. This special treatment means that it has a significant effect on some diseases, and these diseases are its best indications.
Holographic scrapping of meridians is safe and effective. Although there are no obvious contraindications, it should be used with caution or forbidden for some diseases because it is carried out on the skin surface and has certain pressing pressure.
