The reasons for human obesity are twofold. One is the good appetite, large food intake, and efficient absorption, but little exercise. The other is spleen deficiency, weakened digestion and transformation function, resulting in decreased water and dampness metabolism, hindered energy metabolism, and accumulation of dampness and phlegm. The excess water and fat accumulate, resulting in obesity. Scrapping for weight loss can prevent and treat obesity in individuals with spleen deficiency. Consistently applying scrapping to specific areas of obesity can have a slimming effect on localized obesity caused by various factors.
Method and steps:
The strength of scrapping for weight loss should be moderate, with 1 to 2 times a day. If the pressure is strong and the scrapping time is long, scrapping lubricants must be applied to protect the skin.
Back: Bladder Meridian - bilateral Lung Shu, Spleen Shu, Kidney Shu.
Chest and abdomen: Ren Meridian - Shen Zhong, Zhong Wan, Guan Yuan.
Upper limbs: Lung Meridian - bilateral Kong Zui to Lie Que.
Large Intestine Meridian - bilateral Qu Chi.
Lower limbs: Stomach Meridian - bilateral Feng Long. Spleen Meridian - bilateral San Yin Jiao.
Localized obesity: Directly scrape the localized obesity to apply pressure to the subcutaneous tissue, promote passive movement, enhance metabolism, and eliminate local water and fat, achieving the goal of weight loss.
Effects and mechanisms: The water and dampness metabolism in the body is a process involving the lungs, spleen, and kidneys. Scraping the related points of the Bladder Meridian on the back and Shen Zhong, Zhong Wan, Guan Yuan, Feng Long points can strengthen the spleen and nourish the kidneys, promote lung function and phlegm transformation, invigorate qi and activate blood circulation, enhance metabolism, regulate endocrine function, and eliminate excess water and fat in the body, achieving the effect of weight loss.
