According to traditional Chinese medicine, excess fat on the arms is often not caused by obesity. Some people are naturally thin, but their arms are loose and bulky. They cannot slim down even through weight loss and exercise. The real reason is "qi stagnation," which means that the Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly in that area, making it appear fat. In this case, try scraping to slim the arms. It is simple to learn and can be done at home.
1. Massage and relax
Before starting to scrape the arms for slimming, it is important to massage and relax them. Everything requires preparation, and without proper massage and relaxation, not only will the arms feel painful during scraping, but the effect will also be compromised. Only when the arms are fully relaxed can scraping be fully absorbed.
2. Apply scraping oil
First, evenly apply scraping oil on the arms. During the application, you can tap, knead, and massage the arms with your knuckles until they feel soft and relaxed. Applying scraping oil not only provides lubrication but also increases skin elasticity, making the arm skin better.
3. Scraping
Keep a consistent direction for scraping. It is recommended to scrape from the wrist to the shoulder, avoiding alternating directions, as it will waste energy and may not yield good results for slimming the arms. It is important to scrape in the same direction and order. In addition to the therapeutic effects of scraping itself, scraping the arms for slimming can also dredge the meridians and promote blood circulation.
