Tapping Health Preservation is a method of health preservation that uses finger, palm, fist, and other techniques to stimulate the relevant parts, meridians, and acupoints on the body, causing a series of pathological and physiological changes in the human body, with the purpose of strengthening the body and expelling disease. The lighter stimulation is called "tapping," while the heavier stimulation is called "hitting." It has several health benefits:
1. Clearing the meridians and regulating Qi and blood flow:
Tapping Health Preservation mainly involves tapping along the meridians to activate the Qi within them. Qi and blood flow through the meridians, so tapping helps to clear the meridians and regulate the Qi and blood flow. This helps to balance the Yin and Yang of the body, treat deficiencies and excesses, and achieve the goal of preventing and expelling diseases.
2. Promoting joint flexibility and improving physical abilities:
While tapping the meridians, the twelve tendons that connect the meridians to the joints are also stimulated. The twelve tendons are a system where the Qi of the twelve meridians gathers and connects to the joints in the body. They run from the limbs to the head and torso, circulating on the surface of the body without entering the internal organs, and gather at the joints and bones. Therefore, tapping can help to support the bones, promote joint flexibility, and improve physical abilities.
