Is patting your armpits a scientific way to detox?

Many times, when we feel tired or in pain in a certain part of our body, we can actually achieve relief by simply massaging ourselves. Therefore, many people now also like to go to massage parlors for health massage. When we are getting a massage in a massage parlor, we can find that the masseurs do not use kneading methods on some parts of the body, but patting instead. It is said that patting the armpits can detoxify, so is this scientific?

Our human body has 7 "sewer outlets". If we can find the "sewer outlets" and discharge the dampness and toxins, we will get sick less often or not at all. In fact, these sewage outlets are easy to find, as they are all "nestled" in the joints.

1. Armpits

The Jiquan point in the armpit is an important acupuncture point of the Heart Meridian. It can remove the accumulated fire and toxins in the heart. You should massage it frequently to unclog this well.

2. Cubital fossa

When you have sore throat, cough, irritability, mouth ulcers, insomnia, and other problems, you can tap the elbow area continuously for 5 to 10 minutes. Toxin reactants of different colors such as blue, red, purple, and black will appear. Once every one to two weeks, this sewage well can be kept unobstructed and toxins from the heart and lungs can be discharged.

3. Knee pit

At the center of the popliteal fossa, there is an important acupuncture point called Weizhong, which runs along the bladder meridian. The bladder meridian is the body's largest detoxification and dehumidification channel, and the Weizhong point is the sewage outlet on this channel. If it is not unobstructed, moisture cannot be discharged, which may cause arthritis. Therefore, you can pat this area for 5 to 10 minutes until bruises and sha spots appear, and pat once every one to two weeks to prevent the occurrence of arthritis.

4. Zusanli

It is the number one acupoint for treating the spleen and strengthening the stomach. Therefore, to fundamentally solve the problem of phlegm, you have to strengthen the spleen. One of the good methods is to massage the Yinlingquan acupoint more every day.

5. Chengshan Point

It is the most effective acupuncture point for removing dampness from the human body. After massaging Chengshan point for a period of time, we will feel a slight warmth in our body. This is the result of the Yang Qi of the bladder meridian working. The dampness in the body is dissipating outwards with the rising Yang Qi. Therefore, people with damp-heat constitution must remember this important health acupoint and use it reasonably in life. Pat your abdomen once a week to detoxify and you will be free of toxins.
