The principle of scraping for weight loss The correct method of scraping for weight loss

Scraping for weight loss is a very common way to lose weight. Everyone must have heard of scraping, which can help our body detoxify and is very effective. But in fact, scraping can also help with weight loss. Let’s take a look at the principle of scraping for weight loss.

Scraping for weight loss stimulates the skin's metabolism by stimulating the local skin, and scraping can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis as well as dredge the meridians. Even if it does not have the effect of weight loss, it is still very beneficial to the body. Moreover, the weight loss effects of both are so good, so it is unscientific if cupping and scraping for weight loss are not popular!

Gua Sha can not only dredge the meridians, but also enhance lymphatic circulation. However, because the lymph is located just below the epidermis, when scraping the area full of lymph, the force should be gentle to avoid over-stimulating the lymph, which will make the body feel more tired.

1. Pour a few drops of essential oil into your palms, rub them to warm them up, and evenly apply them to your waist and abdomen. Use both hands to push and rub your waist and abdomen from bottom to top alternately. In this pushing and rubbing action, the essential oil can be better absorbed by the skin.

2. It is best to massage before scraping, and lift the abdomen with both hands. After the flesh on the waist and abdomen becomes soft, scraping can be performed, which will have a better effect on slimming the waist.

3. With the navel as the center, use the scraper to scrape and massage in a clockwise direction with even force. Don't use too much force. Stop when the abdominal skin becomes rosy.

4. Use the angle kneading method to massage the Tianshu, Guanyuan and Qihai points mentioned above. The so-called angle kneading method is to use the thick edge of the scraping board as the focus point or the thick edge side as the focus point, focus on the effective acupoints, apply continuous rotation and circular movements, drive the tissue under the skin to rub and move, and use moderate force.

Generally, it takes one month of persistence to see results of scraping for weight loss.

Gua Sha is mainly suitable for obesity caused by endocrine disorders and slow metabolism. Under normal circumstances, if you scrape 1-2 times a day for about a month, you can see the weight loss effect. However, due to the different base weights of individuals, there is no definite number for how much weight can be lost.

It does have a certain effect, but it also needs to be combined with diet and exercise.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that obesity is mostly caused by deficiency of the heart and spleen, lack of exercise, and a preference for fatty and sweet foods, which leads to slow metabolism of body fat. Gua Sha can dredge the meridians, enhance the function of the heart and spleen, accelerate blood circulation, increase basal metabolism, and accelerate fat metabolism, so it is undoubtedly effective for weight loss. In addition, Gua Sha can also achieve effective local weight loss that is generally difficult to achieve with other weight loss methods. In addition, Gua Sha weight loss can play many health care roles such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dredging meridians, promoting qi and relieving pain, clearing away heat and detoxifying, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and harmonizing yin and yang.
