Rumor: Heatstroke in dog days can be cured by scraping therapy, and scraping has the curative effect of health care?
Truth: Scrapping health care is unreliable and has real damage, so don’t scrap if you have nothing to do.
Scrapping is just a double squeeze on the back and neck skin in vertical and parallel directions. After being strongly squeezed and frustrated, congestion caused by rupture of subcutaneous mucosal capillaries.
After scraping, people have a burning feeling, which is not the so-called detoxification, but the pain generated by vasodilation, inflammatory cell infiltration, release of inflammatory media and stimulation of nerve endings after local tissue injury.
Some people feel comfortable after scraping, including massage, but endorphins released spontaneously by the human body against pain stimulation are at work.
The main function of skin is to defend and regulate body temperature. No matter where the skin is, it has no messy function such as detoxification.
At present, there is no evidence that scraping has preventive and therapeutic effects on any disease.
Heatstroke used to be the most important indication for scraping, but now there are also people who treat heatstroke patients with scraping. The essence of heatstroke is the runaway regulation of body temperature, and the most important way to treat it is to cool down.
Therefore, for patients with mild heatstroke, scraping may appear [effective]. After all, people who scrape also know the heat and will carry people to a cool place. However, for patients with severe heatstroke, there is no regular emergency personnel and institutions that will use scraping treatment.
After all, damaging the integrity of a large piece of skin circulation is also inconceivable to the rescue principle that requires all means to reduce the patient’s body temperature.
