What are the functions of scraping, cupping and acupuncture?

Acupuncture, scraping and cupping are all Chinese medicine treatments. The human body is an organic whole linked by the meridian system. The human body meridian system includes the twelve meridians and Baqi meridians, including floating collaterals and sun collaterals, which are distributed all over the body.

Scraping is to break the tiny capillaries on the skin and accelerate the microcirculation of local tissues through intense squeezing. Some tissues will have metabolic disorders, and pain or physical discomfort will occur because of the accumulation of some pathological products. After shaving, the skin capillaries are broken, and a lot of substances will seep out. The human body must clean up in time, clean up the garbage and produce new nutrients. It will have a strong stimulating effect on the local area. The human body has a mechanism, that is, it will try its best to push some pathological products from the inside out and from the internal organs to the body surface.

Even scraping on the body surface can regulate people's internal functions.
