(8) Xuan Zhong Acupoint: 3 inches above the outer ankle, where it is indented.
(9) Cheng Shan Acupoint: When the calf muscles are tightened, the depression where the Achilles tendon meets the calf muscles.
2. Scraping Techniques for the Legs
Start scraping from the acupoints at the root of the thighs, and scrape diagonally downwards using a scraping board. The acupoints on both legs must be scraped symmetrically, which means that you have to finish scraping the same acupoint on both legs before moving on to the next acupoint. The scraping board should be held at a 90-45 degree angle with the direction of scraping.
If you can't find the acupoints, you can also scrape a large area in the approximate location of the acupoints. This can ensure the coverage of effective acupoints, which is also the advantage of scraping for slimming the legs compared to acupuncture. You don't need professional and accurate techniques, you can do it at home by yourself.
