 Prevention and Treatment 1: Scraping the Area Over the Pancreas

After rubbing gua sha oil on the area over the pancreas, use the edge of the gua sha tool to scrape the left chest, left abdomen and area over the pancreas on the left back.

While scraping, search for positive reactions such as tender spots, sand-sized masses and nodules, and give these areas more attention.
