Scraping to thin legs, old Chinese medicine teaches you how to scrape

Gua Sha is a type of traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Sometimes when people have symptoms such as colds or cold toxins invading the body, scraping can help expel these toxins from the body and achieve the purpose of healing. However, some people say that scraping can help lose weight. Is this true? How to perform scraping to slim legs?

1: Gua Sha uses manipulation to stimulate the meridians, giving full play to the role of the Ying and Wei Qi, making the local skin red and congested, thereby playing the role of refreshing the mind, rescuing fainting, detoxifying and removing evil, dredging the meridians, clearing away heat and relieving exterior symptoms, dispelling wind and cold, promoting qi and relieving pain, strengthening the spleen and stomach, so as to enhance the body's own potential disease resistance and immune function, thereby achieving the effect of strengthening the body and removing evil, preventing and curing diseases.

2: Scraping for weight loss comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) weight loss method. In addition to scraping, TCM leg slimming methods also include cupping for weight loss, magnet meridian method, and acupuncture for weight loss. Generally speaking, if scraping is used in combination with multiple weight loss methods, the leg slimming effect will be more obvious.

1: Prepare by applying lubricating oil on your legs, sitting on the bed or sofa, with your legs naturally bent, allowing your calves to be in the most naturally relaxed state, then use a scraping board to scrape from your knees to your heels 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.

2: Start from the base of the knee and scrape downwards. Scrape in one direction at a time and do not scrape back and forth like scrubbing your body. (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, you can go in both directions, but of course it is better to go from bottom to top, so that your legs, which have been tired for a day, can relax and improve blood circulation. 3-5 minutes for each place is enough.)

3: When brushing your legs with a strength 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. 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.

4: The angle plate forms an acute angle with the calf 40-60% and an obtuse angle with the thigh.

However, it should be noted that scraping for slimming legs is not suitable for everyone. Friends with skin infections and ulcers must not do scraping, otherwise it will easily aggravate the condition.
