Can pregnant women have scraping?

Many women will suffer from postpartum wind after giving birth. This is a disease caused by external evil after childbirth. After giving birth, the body undergoes various changes, including physical depletion, bleeding, etc. Many pregnant women feel physically and mentally exhausted at this time. They need to start a 6-week period to restore their normal physical condition. If they do not adjust properly, they will have to suffer from postpartum wind. So, can mothers undergo scraping?

If a mother suffers from postpartum wind, she must adjust and treat it in time. Chinese medicine expert Shan Guimin mentioned in her blog that postpartum wind can be treated through moxibustion, scraping and other methods. Moxibustion: Moxibustion on Zhongwan, Shenque, Guanyuan, Zusanli and Sanyinjiao. Use a four-eye moxibustion box to do large-area moxibustion on Zhongwan, Shenque and Guanyuan points. The time is gradually increased from 40 minutes a day at the beginning to one hour, or even more than one hour. Mobile moxibustion can be done on the abdomen. Use a single-eye moxibustion box to moxibustion Zusanli and Sanyinjiao for 10-20 minutes. It is best to do it on both sides at the same time. This will save time and dredge the meridians in both legs at the same time, expel the cold evil, and have a better effect. When doing moxibustion, you must have enough fire and enough time. In this way, the cold evil can be driven away completely. If you are treating in hot weather, you will sweat a lot. You can open the window for convection moxibustion. During the moxibustion period, you must drink more ginger and sugar water (boil the ginger first, then brew brown sugar water), which can replenish qi and blood.

During the scraping process, you need to observe the traces of the sha. If the sha is well and evenly formed, you need to scrape the disease once every 7-10 days. If the sha is not well formed and the color is very light, it means that the disease is inside and not on the surface. In this case, you need to scrape the disease every day or every other day until the sha marks can be seen on the body surface. In this way, the disease will have a process from the inside to the outside.

In daily life, we use various therapies to help treat diseases, but not every therapy can treat all diseases. Gua Sha also has contraindications. For some diseases with unclear diagnosis or acute diseases, and critically ill patients, scraping can only be performed under the diagnosis and guidance of a doctor. Do not do scraping if you are too tired or sweating profusely on an empty stomach.
