How to use scraping to slim your calves

Gua Sha is a very traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment technique. Although the process of scraping is scary for most people, the effect of scraping is very good and plays a great role in regulating physical health. Gua Sha can also be used to lose weight and help obese people solve the problem of fat that is harmful to their health. Among them, scraping to slim down the calves is more popular. Let’s take a look at how to scrape to slim down the calves.

Prepare

First apply lubricating oil on your legs, sit on the bed or sofa, bend your legs naturally, let your calves be in the most natural and relaxed state, then use a scraping board from the knees to the heels, scraping for 20 minutes a day (or 100 times for each leg). In terms of technique, please lubricate well before massaging or brushing your legs. The thigh is from the thigh to the knee, and the calf is from the ankle to the knee. The thigh is mainly concentrated on the back and medial side, and occasionally the front. The calves are focused on the back and inner sides.

direction

Start from the base of the knee bend and scrape downwards. You can only scrape in one direction at a time. Do not scrape back and forth like taking a bath! (If you have varicose veins or edema in your lower limbs, you must scrape from bottom to top to improve blood circulation, otherwise the opposite direction will become more and more serious. If not, both directions are fine, but of course it is better to scrape from bottom to top, so that the legs that have been tired for a day can relax and improve blood circulation. 3-5 minutes for each place is enough.)

Dynamics

When brushing your legs with a brush in the first stage, don't sweep a large area like a cleaner mopping the floor. The brushing range should be within 3-5cm. At the same time, you have to be bold and put one hand into the brush and press the brush with the other hand so that the brush head can sink into the skin. Okay, let’s start brushing.

If sha appears, feel the nodes in the blue areas with your hands. Then use the scraping board or your hands to clear the nodes. Pain means blockage. If these nodes are unblocked, your legs will become thinner.

You must shave with relatively strong force and speed! (Of course, the harder you shave, the better. You should shave within your tolerance range. As long as you keep shaving, you will see results.)

angle

The board is at an acute angle of 40-60% with the calf and at an obtuse angle with the thigh

Key acupuncture points

Futu, Xuehai, Zusanli, Fengshi, Chengfu, Sanyinjiao, Xuanzhong, Weizhong and Chengshan, scrape the acupoints one by one, and finish scraping them 50-100 times before moving on to the next one. The acupoints are symmetrical, which means that after scraping the same acupoint on both legs, move on to the next one.
