In daily life, there are many ways for people to stay healthy, including diet and exercise. In addition, massage can also be used as a way to stay healthy. The main purpose of staying healthy is to ensure a healthy body and achieve longevity. However, the premise of longevity is a healthy body. How can we maintain our health? This is also a science.
Massage has always been a popular way to stay healthy since ancient times, and there are various methods of massage, such as gua sha and acupressure. Gua sha has been passed down through generations because it can dilate capillaries, increase sweat gland secretion, and promote blood circulation. It has immediate effects on conditions like hypertension, heatstroke, and muscle soreness. Regular gua sha can regulate meridian qi and relieve fatigue. In the following content, we will tell you which parts of the body should be gua sha if you feel uncomfortable.
Constipation
Although people's living standards are constantly improving, their health has not necessarily improved. This is mainly related to lifestyle and diet. Due to busy work and household chores, people often do not have enough time for proper dietary planning. As a result, they frequently eat out or consume instant noodles. Such dietary habits pose a great threat to health.
If you use this kind of dietary habit for a long time, it is easy to develop constipation, which can even lead to anal fissures. Therefore, improving diet is crucial at this time. In addition, a simple and quick method to treat constipation is gua sha on the abdomen. Use the scraping board to scrape the abdomen from top to bottom, left to right. It should be noted that if there is visceral prolapse, the scraping should be done from bottom to top. This method not only treats constipation, but also promotes the elimination of toxins from the body.
Dispelling Cold
During cold weather, people may experience cold hands and feet, which is mainly caused by coldness. At this time, dispelling cold is key. However, some people may still have cold hands and feet even in hot summer. This may be due to insufficient yang energy in the body or poor circulation of qi and blood. For such symptoms, gua sha on the feet can be done. Because there are many acupoints on the feet, it has a certain regulatory effect on the body, which can relieve the phenomenon of cold hands and feet.
