Traditional Therapeutic Meridian Scraping Therapy(MST),Cosmetic MST,Health Care MST

 

It's easy to understand that by scraping along meridians, positive stimulation is created. This can help the YIN and YANG Qi play their roles, dredge the stasis points and improve the circulation, so the possibility for disease dropped and immune function is enhanced.

Meridian Scraping Therapy also called "GUA SHA" in chinese, is a traditional Chinese medical treatment in which the surface of the meridian points is scraped till the red spots emerge on the skin. It’s a healing technique used in China in both the clinical setting and in homes, but little known in the West. It involves palpation and cutaneous stimulation where the skin is pressured, in strokes, by a round-edged instrument; that results in the appearance of small red petechiae called 'sha', that will fade in 2 to 4 days. The red spots are considered as toxin. Through sweating, the toxins of Sha will be excreted, and the purpose of healing is achieved.Raising Sha removes blood stagnation considered pathogenic, and promotes normal circulation and metabolic processes. It is also believed meridian scraping therapy releases unhealthy elements from injured areas and stimulates blood flow and healing.

The patient experiences immediate relief from pain, stiffness, fever, chill, cough, nausea, and so on. Meridian Scraping Therapy is valuable in the prevention and treatment of acute infectious illness, upper respiratory and digestive problems, and many other acute or chronic disorders.
