whats that red stuff… blood?! >.<
this is retarded
Well, it’s not so deep as the stuff the others here talk about, but i think her hair is looking really nice
(oh, I see it’s 5 years old… probably another hairstyle now :p)
@shalokin Forced purging therefore fits with the analogy of deficient Kidneys but would need to be administered via cupping, massage or the more severe technique of Kerokan (coining) I gave the information credit and scanned back my experiences with Kidney deficient patients to see if there was indication of a connection, but it doesn’t fit with this style of guasha, as you do not pursue the scraping out of theory alone and are governed by the erythemas you surface. Cheers
@madpinoy5683 this is a beautiful theory but it won’t hold up to the practical reality that many patients have unavailable sha to play with. The only constants I have found are below the clavicle and along the latissimus dorsi, but have yet to try on someone who lives extremely healthy and maintains their flexibility, such as a yoga teacher.
@shalokin Ahh. It makes a lot more sense when a bit of western medical science is applied to it. In that sense gua sha would help patients with kidney problems because the gua sha practitioner is releasing the wastes the impaired kidneys aren’t able to filter.
@SanasSweetMode thanks, I read your other posts but still don’t see how you relate local injury such as frozen shoulder, sprains, strains, stagnation, trapped cold or heat etc to specific Kidney deficiency. Can you elaborate further with regards to specific patients and inform of how many people you have treated. Many thanks
@shalokin
Please see a previous comment that I made.
@SanasSweetMode Hi, please can you explain why you think Guasha works better for people with Kidney problems, thanks
@ivanlagrossemoule
No, he’s not breaking the skin at all. She’s not getting a burn, either. The pressurized rubbing is causing the peripheral capillaries to rupture, making marks not unlike bruises. They disappear more quickly than bruises, though, and don’t hurt at all.
@SanasSweetMode Hey, do you know why she is getting all red with that thing? How does it work? Just curious because it looks like he’s peeling the skin off.
@ivanlagrossemoule
Of course not!
From my standpoint, I think that it can benefit everyone, but it works best on people with kidney problems.
@SanasSweetMode Wait, so everyone suffers from soreness, malaise, fatigue and so on until they’ve done that treatment?
@iceheart920
Urea, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, inorganic salts and other organic waste products. The same things that you find in urine and sweat. The basic idea is that a little bit is left over when the blood is filtered in the kidneys, causing it to circulate throughout the body and cause fatigue, soreness, malaise, and other symptoms. When you do gua sha, it brings the blood closer to the skin, allowing some of the waste to be removed via diffusion.
It’s all very scientific.
@iceheart920 If you “really want to know”, I guess you can have your sweat analyzed… and the mass spectrometer will tell you what “these toxins” are for you specifically. You can have your urine and stool sample analyzed as well if you really want “specific names” to these toxins.
@twoblink What are these “toxins” though? Anything can be a toxin in sufficient quantity. Please list the name of these toxins.
@iceheart920 When you gua sha, what you are doing is scraping at the fatty layer between the skin and the muscle tissue; where your body has a tendency to hide the toxins; a bunch of toxins is released back into your body, and your body is freaked out.. so it sends the cleaning crew, (white blood cells, etc..) to scavage and neutralize it. For most Chinese people, Gua Sha is the ONLY thing that really works for heatstroke. If you get heatstroke, try it. It really works.
@iceheart920 As you eat, you process and absorb the good stuff, and try to pass out the bad stuff, in liquid from (urine) or in solid form (poop). That which is not processed, still needs to be; so your body does some creative rearrangement. When you don’t sleep, your brain has not had a chance to detox, and so it moves the toxins from your brain to the nearest non-vital area, usually the sinus cavities. That is why when you don’t sleep, you have “bags” under your eyes. Unprocessed toxins.
@iceheart920 I guess it depends on what you are eating. Here’s the jist of it; your body tries to eliminate any and all toxin buildup from your body. When it can’t, it will hide it somewhere inert, like between your fat. If you look at say, pork from a pig that has a really healthy diet, and pork that has a poor diet, you will see that the pig with the healthy diet has very very almost bright white fat content. The unhealthy one will have grayish fat content. This is “toxins”.
@twoblink What are these “toxins”? Provide a chemical name please.
acupuncture is great. i also like light axis healing.
A man was walking down a sidewalk past a insane asylum one day. He heard the patients in the yard beyond a big wooden fence chanting, THIRTEEN, THIRTEEN , THIRTEEN!!! He stuck his head up to a knot hole to look through and he was immediately poked in the eye followed by a new chant of FOURTEEN, FOURTEEN, FOURTEEN!!!!
