Benefits of Gua Sha

1. Scraping can effectively promote our body's metabolism and expel toxins from the body. Now our body is constantly metabolizing every day, and many toxins are deposited in the pores under our skin. Scraping can allow these wastes left in the body to be excreted and make the blood in the body smoother, restoring natural metabolic vitality.

2. Gua Sha can also dredge the tendons and meridians. Now more and more people are suffering from cervical spondylosis, periarthritis of the shoulder, and low back pain. This is because these muscles are often in a state of tension and contraction. Gua Sha can relax the tendons and meridians, eliminate painful lesions, and relieve muscle tension. While significantly reducing pain symptoms, it is also beneficial to the recovery of lesions.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine says that the balance of yin and yang in the body is the ultimate factor that determines human health. Gua Sha can effectively adjust and balance the yin and yang of our body. "When yin and yang are balanced, the spirit is healed." Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the balance of the yin and yang relationship of the body. Gua Sha has a two-way regulating effect on human body functions, which can improve and adjust the functions of internal organs and restore their balance.

First, apply slimming essential oil on your legs, sit on the bed or sofa, bend your legs naturally, let your calves be in the most natural and relaxed state, then use a scraping board from the knee to the heel, scrape for 20 minutes every day (or 100 times for each leg). This is the simplest and fastest way to slim down your legs.

1. Direction: Start from the knee bend and scrape downwards. You can only scrape in one direction at a time. Do not scrape back and forth like taking a bath! (If you have varicose veins or edema in the 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, both directions are fine, but of course it is better to scrape from bottom to top, so that the legs that are tired for a day can relax and improve blood circulation)

2. Strength: You must scrape with relatively strong force and quickly! (Of course, the harder the better, it must be within your tolerance range. As long as you persist in scraping, it will be effective)

1. First apply scraping oil

First, sit on the sofa or bed and bend your legs naturally. Then apply the scraping oil you prepared in advance on your legs. Do the next step after your legs have completely absorbed the scraping oil. Because the slimming essential oil itself has a slimming effect, using it in conjunction with scraping will have a better effect.

2. Start using meridian brush

When using a meridian brush, you usually brush from top to bottom, because brushing from bottom to top is nourishing. If you have a lot of heat in your body, you can brush from top to bottom when brushing your calves. But it is best to brush the thighs from bottom to top, which can lift the buttocks. And as girls, most of them have a typical upper-burner and lower-cold constitution, so this is more nourishing. Generally, stick to it for more than 20 minutes.

3. Use scraping board after 20 minutes

In fact, it is quite easy to use a brush. When brushing, you should brush the inside and outside of the thighs and calves. If there is a blockage in the meridians on the inside and outside, it will turn blue and purple after brushing. You don’t need to stop brushing if there is a bruise. Continue brushing. The bruise is the key area to deal with, that is, the blocked area. Then use the scraping board to push these blue and purple areas. But you must insist on brushing for more than 20 minutes before brushing with the scraping board, so that the key breakthrough will be effective.
