Local weight loss depends on the meridian tapping of female traditional Chinese medicine

When summer comes, are you still worried that once you put on a short-sleeved top or a short skirt and shorts, your flesh will instantly become like a cheating boyfriend, desperately trying to escape from your body's control and hang down? If you want to successfully eliminate local fat and edema, Chinese medicine practitioners recommend that after taking a shower at night, you can apply moisturizing lotion on yourself, and then pat the meridians all over the body to help blood circulation and metabolism to lose weight.

Zhang Wenxin, a popular beauty Chinese medicine practitioner who is often invited to be interviewed on various programs, said that the meridians in the human body have the functions of circulating qi and blood, nourishing the whole body, resisting external evil spirits, and protecting the body. By tapping the meridians throughout the body every day, you can activate the connection between the body and the internal organs. In addition to maintaining normal physiological functions, it can also promote circulation and increase metabolism.

When tapping the meridians, the palms are cupped and tapped 3 times along the direction of the meridians. The tapping parts can be divided into 4 major blocks. First, tap the three yin meridians of the hands, then tap the three yang meridians of the hands, then tap the three yang meridians of the feet, and finally tap the three yin meridians of the feet and the abdomen. This can effectively improve qi and blood circulation and help lose weight.

Arm Meridians

The outside of the arm includes the three yang meridians of the hand, the large intestine meridian, the triple burner meridian, and the small intestine meridian; the inside of the arm includes the three yin meridians of the hand, the lung meridian, the pericardium meridian, and the heart meridian. The direction of tapping is from the chest to the hand (centrifugal direction); and the direction of tapping is from the hand to the head (centripetal direction). Frequent tapping can prevent arm and shoulder pain, and also has the effect of eliminating bat wings.

Meridians on the inner side of the legs

There are three yin meridians, liver meridian, spleen meridian, and kidney meridian on the inner side of the calves. Among them, the areas where the foot Jueyin liver meridian, foot Taiyin spleen meridian, and foot Shaoyin kidney meridian pass are "blood-governing" and are related to the lymphatic blood circulation in the lower body. They are mainly beaten from bottom to top.

Meridians on the outer sides of the legs

The stomach meridian, gallbladder meridian, and bladder meridian are located on the front, outside, and back of the thighs and calves. They are the "main qi" of the yang meridians. Tapping them more often can boost the yang energy and promote the body's metabolic function. The direction of tapping is from head to foot along the direction of the three yang meridians of the foot. Therefore, the tapping direction of the stomach meridian of foot yangming, the gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang, and the bladder meridian of foot taiyang is from top to bottom.

Abdominal meridians

There are acupoints such as the spleen meridian, kidney meridian, stomach meridian, and Ren meridian scattered around the navel. Through tapping and stimulation, it can promote intestinal digestion and peristalsis, and improve bloating and constipation. Use your right palm to massage clockwise along the direction of large intestine peristalsis, from right to lower left clockwise, repeat several times, and deep massage for about 5 minutes.
