What are the benefits of patting your armpits?

When our body is jealous of toxins, the whole person will look bad and lack energy. Especially if we want to nourish yin, we have to expel the cold and dampness in the body so as to better protect our health. If the body wants to detoxify, then we must know where the drainage outlet is. According to experts, one of the major sewage outlets in the human body is in the armpits. Therefore, if you can pat your armpits frequently, the benefits will be obvious.

armpit:

There is an important acupuncture point in the armpit, which is named Jiquan in traditional Chinese medicine. The armpits not only have arteries and veins, but also a large amount of lymphatic tissue, which is responsible for blood transportation and immune defense functions. Regularly massaging the armpits can improve blood supply and stimulate lymph, which can improve cardiopulmonary function, increase appetite, and enhance digestion.

Cubital fossa:

The elbow pit is an area with dense meridians, with the lung meridian, pericardium meridian and heart meridian passing through it. Therefore, massaging this area can eliminate heat and toxins from the heart and lungs. If you have recently experienced symptoms such as sore throat, yellow phlegm, shortness of breath, irritability, hot flashes in the heart, mouth ulcers, insomnia and nightmares, it means that the fire toxicity in your heart and lungs is strong. Many people suffer from insomnia. The more they can’t sleep, the more irritable they become, tossing and turning in bed. In this situation, pat your elbows to open up the heart and lung meridians, and you will sleep soundly.

Popliteal fossa (knee fossa):

There is an important acupuncture point at the midpoint of the popliteal fossa called Weizhong, which runs through the bladder meridian. The bladder meridian is the body's largest channel for detoxification and dehumidification, and the Weizhong point is the "sewer outlet" on this channel. If the sewage outlet is blocked, the dampness, toxins and waste gas cannot be discharged and will turn into heat toxins in the human body. If the heat toxins stay in the body for a long time, they will form tumors. External evils such as cold and dampness that invade the body cannot be discharged here, which can lead to arthritis. Therefore, you must clean it regularly to ensure smooth detoxification, so that your body and mind can be at peace.

When patting, relax all the muscles in your body, put your five fingers together, arch the back of your hands slightly, and pat the "wo" downward in a hollow state. The intensity of the patting should gradually increase, and there should be a break between two pats. The amount of sha that comes out from patting varies from person to person. A small amount of sha is enough, or you can pat until no new sha appears. You can do it once every two weeks.
