Gua sha, the traditional Chinese medical device, has ushered in a period of explosive development in recent years. More and more people are beginning to understand this tool and try to use it. But all kinds of merchants or articles are promoting the efficacy of scraper board for facial beauty, and how to use it on the face, and so on. Thus ignoring another function of the guasha-the gua sha stone can treat tired and sore muscles, relieve headaches and improve the internal circulation of the body.
Why can Gua Sha Board Relieve Muscle Soreness?
The principle is simple. I think most people who often engage in exercise stretch their muscles after exercise, such as pressing their legs. This is static stretching (but don’t do static stretching before exercise, which has been shown to reduce your competitive state by about 10%).
The purpose of static stretching is to relax muscles strained by exercise, speed up the degradation of lactic acid, and even repair the body. Similar or even stronger effects can be achieved by scraping muscles with scraping boards. It can forcibly scrape away the tense muscles to achieve the purpose of relaxation. The foam shaft and massage gun you use have similar functions with gua sha stone.
If you stay in one position for a long time, you will also feel sore in some areas, such as the neck, shoulders and waist. Why do muscles feel sore when there is no strenuous exercise? The movement of the human body is inseparable from muscles, and maintaining a particular posture often requires a muscle group to exert its strength for a long time. It will eventually form a feeling of soreness similar to that after strenuous exercise.
How to Use Gua Sha Muscle Scraping?
- It is necessary to carry out a disinfection and cleaning of the gua sha board. Use alcohol or cleaning fluid, etc.
- Apply essential oil where gua sha is needed. The effect of this step is to reduce the friction between the skin and the scraping plate. Make guasha tool more smoothly and reduce the risk of injury.
- For different degrees of muscle soreness, the intensity of use should also be different. If it is only a slight sore feeling, use a softer strength. For the parts with a strong sense of acid flatulence, we need to use significant efforts to scraping. Especially where nodules appear, we must strive to scrape the nodules apart. This is a phenomenon of muscle fascia adhesion.
And because of the powerful use, there are often a lot of red bleeding spots on the skin. It’s a normal phenomenon. Don’t worry.
- Scraping is repeated for 10-20 times in each part.
- Adopting the principle from top to bottom and from inside to outside. If scraping from the upper knee of the calf to the ankle, scraping from the position of the spine to the waist.
What should You Pay Attention to After Gua Sha Muscle Scraping?
- Try to avoid contact with water or cold things in the gua sha area within a day after scraping. Because the skin is still in a damaged state and the pores are open. Exposure to water or cold things may cause harmful substances to invade the body and affect health.
- Keep a light diet and avoid foods that are high in oil and salt.
- Keep warm.
