Working overtime and sitting for long periods of time can easily lead to weight gain in the waist and abdomen, as well as constipation. Long-term detoxification issues directly affect the quality and color of the skin. Using abdominal scraping can effectively stimulate intestinal peristalsis, promote abdominal blood circulation, enhance gastrointestinal motility, and improve digestive system function, thereby alleviating constipation and achieving the effect of burning fat and toning the abdomen.
1. Acupoints on the abdomen:
(1) Tian Shu acupoint: two fingers on both sides of the belly button;
(2) Guan Yuan acupoint: four fingers below the belly button;
(3) Qi Hai acupoint: one finger below the belly button.
2. Technique of abdominal scraping:
It is best to lie on your back during scraping. Use a scraping board to massage in a clockwise direction, with the belly button as the center. Apply even pressure, without excessive force, until the skin on the abdomen becomes slightly red. Then use a kneading technique to massage the Tian Shu acupoint, Guan Yuan acupoint, and Qi Hai acupoint mentioned above. The kneading technique focuses on the thick edges and corners of the scraping board, applying rotational and circular motions to stimulate the tissues beneath the skin. Apply moderate pressure.
3. Slimming effect on the abdomen:
Consistency is key for visible results. Generally, after three days to one week of consistent scraping, constipation can be improved to a certain extent. Continuing for half a month to one month will result in a noticeable feeling of lightness in the body and a reduction in abdominal fat.
