Skin scraping is based on the skin theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Like all TCM treatments, it is a non-invasive and natural therapy.
The theory states that scraping the surface of the skin along the meridians promotes positive stimulation and improves circulation, helping to clear stasis points, enhance blood flow, reduce the likelihood of disease, and support immune function. This ancient Chinese healing technique may offer a unique approach to better health and can address issues such as chronic pain.
Scraping is intended to target stagnant energy, known as Qi, in the body that may contribute to inflammation. Since inflammation is an underlying cause of many chronic pain conditions, scraping the skin’s surface is thought to help break up this energy, reduce inflammation and promote healing.
