Scrapping
【Equipment】

【Mechanism】
Scraping can stimulate the acupoints and meridian on the surface of the human body, hence regulating qi and blood flow, removing blood stasis, freeing channels and dredging collaterals and dispelling the evil qi from the body. After scraping, the body will feel relaxed and comfortable.
