摘要

We were attracted by a news in Washington Post talking about the effects of Gua Sha (刮痧) on pain relief in the United States.Once there was a film telling culture conflicts between Eastern and Western world derived from Gua Sha in 2000,in which the Chinese parents were sued as child abuse evidenced by the appearance of petechiae and ecchymosis (Sha) on the child's back.Now about 12 years later Gua Sha has been one of the complementary therapies widely accepted in the United States mirrored by more and more clinic-visits and several evidence-based studies published in peer-reviewed journals.
