1. Brush the eight voids when taking a bath
Brushing the eight voids is to clean up the sanitary dead corners! The two elbows, two armpits, two hips, and two knee sockets are called the eight voids. Eight voids sweat a lot, easy to accumulate dirt, here must be washed several times, first soap, then rub mud, and then wipe back and forth with a towel.
These eight places are usually in a folded state, and the flow of qi and blood is easy to slow down and stagnate at the bend. When taking a bath, people are more relaxed, and the circulation of qi and blood is also good.
2. Brush your buttocks for 5 minutes
纪录片《驻颜有术 The Truth About Looking Good (2018)》，里面有一组实验，是关于去除大腿根部和屁股的橘皮组织。
This kind of cellulite is actually free cellulite. Women's fat is more likely to migrate and accumulate because it is the cross diaphragm that holds the fat in place in men, while the diaphragm is parallel in women. As women age, the flesh at the base of their thighs and buttocks becomes more and more uneven, and cellulite forms that look like the peel of an orange.
The most effective way to do this is to draw a circle brush.
To deal with free cellulite, we brush it and it goes back, and it will reconstitute a smooth and full thigh and buttocks. You can also use a massage brush to brush when taking a bath, and you can massage the entire buttocks in a circular motion with the bath liquid, and you can also do cleaning by the way.
This method is particularly good because it can not only make the body firm and more stylish, say goodbye to orange peel, brush out the full peach buttocks, and some people also make menstruation better, because the buttocks are clear, and the whole body is full of qi and blood!
Our buttocks are the key hub of the meridian qi and blood operation, the general switch of the six meridians on the legs, and the bridge connecting the upper and lower jiao qi and blood of the human body. Nowadays, many people sit for a long time and do not exercise enough, the meridians of the buttocks are very blocked, the whole body is blocked by qi and blood, and there are many hot and cold at the top.
Moreover, the buttocks are still where the pulses, bladder meridians, and eight acupoints are located. Chongmai starts in the uterus, has the effect of regulating the twelve meridians qi and blood and regulating menstruation, the pulse qi and blood are sufficient, girls can menstruate, the pulse qi and blood are weak, blocked, the tunnel is not passable, and the menstruation is stopped.
Everyone is familiar with the bladder meridian, which is the largest garbage channel in the human body! The eight hips are the reflex area of the genitourinary system, which is the general switch that regulates the qi and blood of the human body.
If you have a cold and stiff acupoint to the touch, and it hurts to pat it gently, and the skin is dark and rough, it means that there is no flow of qi and blood here, and it is easy to have dysmenorrhea, low menstrual flow, more menstrual blood clots, delayed menstruation, easy to gain weight in the waist and abdomen, pelvic inflammation and other problems.
When taking a bath, use a massage brush to brush the back, side, and thigh base of the buttocks for 5 minutes, and the entire body will become smooth.
