What are the benefits of tapping the elbow pit

Many people have heard from the older generation that patting the elbow pits frequently has many benefits for the body, and that it can detoxify the body. However, some people find that the lower layer of their skin turns blue after patting their elbows because the capillaries in the elbow pits are thinner and the skin is tenderer. This is because the capillaries are broken. So what are the benefits of patting the elbow pits frequently?

Blood viscosity is not uncommon for modern people, especially among middle-aged and elderly people, which greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

In addition to modern medical technology and drugs, the process of scraping in traditional Chinese medicine can also achieve the health-care effect of purifying the blood. The elbows and knees are the necessary places for the meridians of the hands and feet. The elbow and knee joints move more frequently. When there are too many metabolic products in the blood and the viscosity increases, qi and blood in the meridians are easily stagnant here. Pat this area at regular intervals. Whenever the metabolic products in the blood increase and cause microcirculation disorders, sha will appear. The easiest way to purify the blood is to eliminate metabolic products from the body in a timely manner through the production of sha.

The specific method is: apply scraping oil on the elbows or knees, relax the muscles of the elbows and knees, and keep the joints facing upwards; the person who is slapping holds the elbow or knee of the person being slapped with one hand, and uses the other hand to put the five fingers together, slightly arch the back of the hand, and slap the elbow or knee vertically downward with the palm. The intensity of the patting should gradually increase, and there should be a break between two pats. The amount of sha that comes out from patting varies from person to person. A small amount is enough, or you can pat until no new sha appears. At the beginning, you can do it once every two weeks, and then once every 3-6 months.
