Method for relieving headache by scraping therapy

The method for relieving headache through scraping therapy involves using the index and middle fingers dipped in water to pinch and pull the neck area, gently pressing the bilateral temples, and twisting and pinching the skin around the Yintang acupoint to alleviate head pain. Typically, the procedure is repeated over twenty times until petechiae (sha) appear locally. This scraping technique promotes blood circulation, helping to invigorate blood flow, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. Additionally, the depth of the sha color can indicate the degree of internal heat: darker sha suggests a greater amount of internal heat, and patients are advised to drink more water regularly.
