Herbal Poultices: Herbal poultices are made by blending powdered or crushed herbs with a medium such as water or oil to create a paste. The herbal paste is then applied directly to the scar tissue and covered with a cloth or bandage. Different herbs may be selected based on their properties and therapeutic effects. Common herbs used in poultices for scar tissue include San Qi (Panax notoginseng), Ru Xiang (Frankincense), and Mo Yao (Myrrh).
Gua Sha: Gua Sha is a technique where a smooth-edged instrument, such as a jade or horn tool, is gently scraped over the skin in long strokes. This scraping action helps increase blood flow to the scar tissue and encourages the breakdown of scar tissue adhesions. Gua Sha is often performed by trained practitioners and can be applied to both the scar tissue itself and the surrounding areas.
Acupuncture: While acupuncture is primarily known as an internal therapy, it can also be used externally for scar tissue. Acupuncture needles may be inserted directly into the scar tissue or the surrounding areas to stimulate blood circulation and promote healing. This technique, known as "scar acupuncture," aims to address the underlying energetic imbalances contributing to scar tissue formation.
