Scrapping uses the massage tool with smooth rims to improve the circulation of the body by gradually scarping the superficial layers of the skin to stimulate the Qi and breakdown stagnation on the affected areas.

This technique can work effectively for chronic conditions of pain and can encourage lymphatic drainage to boost the circulation.
