This is the correct and safe method of scraping & bull; hello healthy

The term "scraping treatment" may only exist in Indonesia. This method is a solution that is said to be effective in overcoming "colds". When our bodies are scraped (usually from the neck to the waist) there will be a red color visible as a sign that "the wind is out".

Reported by Kompas.com, the darker the red color, a sign that the wind that enters the body is a lot. Unfortunately, according to a doctor from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, Saptawati Bardosono, the red color that appears is a sign of fine blood vessels (capillaries) under the surface of the skin that are broken due to scrapings. Then that's a red trail visible in the place that was scraped.

Unfortunately, until now, many circles in the world of medical education do not believe that scrapings are effective for health.

"In western countries, scrapings are completely unknown," said Saptawati.

However, according to Mulyadi, a doctor from the Medizone Clinic, medically, scrapings are a method of widening the closed peripheral blood vessels (vasoconstriction) to become wider.

"This is not dangerous, as long as it is not a primary need. If the scrapings are continued, there will be many small and fine blood vessels that will burst, ”said Mulyadi.

Still according to Mulyadi, scrapings make people with colds feel comfortable because the body releases endofin hormones at normal levels. Scientifically, according to him, scrapings are proven to be able to treat symptoms of colds or wind syndrome that have symptoms of muscle pain or mialga.

"The principle of scraping is not much different from the acupuncture that sticks the needle into the body. The principle of scraping is to increase the temperature and energy in the body being scraped off. "This energy increase is done through stimulating the skin on the outside of the body," he explained.

Correct scraping technique

Still based on the Kompas.com report, if the scrapings are applied correctly, the body will feel fresh and fit after scraping.

"Kerokan is still used today, because inevitably there are some minor ailments that can be cured only with traditional medicine," said Mien Rogi, Treatment Developer of Martha Tilaar Day Spa.

However, according to him, scrapings cannot be done carelessly. Must be right, there is a way, and the technique itself. Of course you can ask your friends, mother, father, brother, sister, masseuse, or even your partner to help you scrape. Here are the steps:

1. Prepare coins or coins with no sharp edges, such as Rp1,000 coins.
2. Use olive oil as a basis for degrading the body.
3. Do a scraping on the side of the bone, precisely at the joints near the bone. It is not recommended to scrape just above the bone.
4. Do the scrape from top to bottom.
5. Never scrape the spine, because it can endanger your health.
6. After finishing scraping, rub the back with wind oil so that the body is warmer.
7. Take a shower the next day after your body temperature returns to normal, don't take a shower immediately after scraping.

If you feel better after scraping, then you are scraping properly. However, if your condition worsens or you are still sick, it's a good idea to consult a doctor.
