Can I do scraping before my period?

I believe most people are familiar with the scraping therapy, especially when they feel back pain, they always choose this method to relieve the pain, because it is a relatively traditional method in Chinese medicine, and it also has a very good therapeutic effect on the condition of getting angry in the body. However, it is best not to perform scraping before menstruation, because if you do, it is likely to accelerate your blood circulation.

Of course you can. Gua Sha massage is a treatment method that uses smooth hard tools (usually buffalo horn scraping pieces or jade pieces) or fingers to repeatedly scrape, squeeze, pull, and pinch specific parts of the human body surface or acupoints to stimulate the skin, causing redness and congestion. By stimulating the corresponding meridian acupoints, the functions of the meridians can be regulated, thereby regulating the functional state of the body, which has the effect of preventing and curing diseases; local scraping on the face can regulate local blood circulation, promote metabolism, and whiten and smooth the skin. The instruments used for scraping, jade and buffalo horn, are considered by Chinese medicine to be cold and can clear away heat, detoxify, and nourish the skin, thus making the skin smooth and having a good cosmetic effect.

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese treatment method, mainly for the treatment of internal heat symptoms. Use a special Gua Sha tablet to scrape the back (depending on the symptoms, the scraping part is different). Generally, bath centers have Gua Sha services. Because the technical content is relatively low, you can actually scrape at home. Apply cooling oil on the back. If you don't have a Gua Sha tablet, you can use a coin.

Meridian massage is a popular beauty and health program to fight aging, rejuvenate the skin and remove wrinkles, and regulate internal health. Whether women are suitable for such massage during menstruation needs to be analyzed based on their original physical condition and the actual situation during menstruation.

It is said that people's physiques are divided into "yin" and "yang". People with yin physique have hot five hearts (heart, palms, soles of feet), red tongue tip, and more blood during menstruation. People with yang physique have more coldness, cold limbs, less menstrual flow, dark color, and difficulty in menstruation.

Meridian massage, especially foot therapy, is to eliminate obstacles to the flow of qi and blood and dredge the meridians. Women with a Yin constitution who have foot massage during menstruation will increase menstrual flow, prolong menstruation, and bring harm to the body, so it is not recommended to do massage at this time. Women with a Yang constitution should also avoid this special period.

Even if it is necessary, the masseur cannot use the usual strong penetrating techniques, and should avoid the uterus and other parts. Of course, there are some exceptions, such as meridian massage for the treatment of dysmenorrhea, uterine cold and other problems. The masseurs engaged in these projects have rich professional experience and can use special techniques to smooth the relevant local acupuncture points.

However, whether or not to do scraping therapy still depends on the physical condition of female friends. So if you want to do scraping therapy, you should do it under the guidance of a doctor. You can't do it casually at home, otherwise it may lead to some dangerous things, or even hurt your body unintentionally.
