Is it true or false that tapping the elbow pits can detoxify

We all know that Chinese medicine treatment methods are very common in treating diseases, and tapping the elbow pit is a method of treating the acupoints on the elbow pit. It is said to have the effect of detoxification. In fact, many treatment methods are very effective, especially Chinese medicine treatment methods, which are healthy and have no side effects. So is this tapping the elbow pit for detoxification true or false? The editor will give you a detailed introduction below.

As for the so-called "detoxification" among the people, doctors say that this is more likely a "gimmick" for business promotions. As for the statement that the darker the color of the bruises on the body, the more toxins there are in the body, this is even more "nonsense". Even if it is scraping or cupping, the effectiveness of the treatment mainly depends on the improvement of the symptoms, not just judging from the skin and thinking that "the darker the color, the better the effect."

"Patting the inside of the arm and the bend of the arm can detoxify. First, pat the inside of the arm, which is the source of the twelve meridians. The bend of the arm is the location of the 'Qu Ze Point' of the pericardium meridian. Pat it vigorously for a few minutes, and you will see black and purple bumps constantly popping up. After a few days, when the black and purple fades, the skin of the patted area will become smooth, indicating that the blood stasis and toxins in this area have been discharged."

2. Proper tapping helps to promote the flow of qi and blood circulation

If you feel back pain, or body soreness after exercise or fatigue, you can gently pat yourself to promote qi and blood circulation.

Correct tapping technique:

Bend your palms slightly into a bow shape, with your palms empty, and gently tap the corresponding parts of the body rhythmically. Relying on the airflow in the palms, you can achieve the effect of promoting qi and blood circulation, which will be reflected on the skin as long as you see a slight redness. Remember not to tap directly with the palms of your hands, and don't tap too hard, so as not to cause damage by "being too harsh".

Three best ways to detox

Detoxification through exercise

1. Take a walk for at least 30 minutes every day and do some gentle and soothing exercises, such as jogging and Tai Chi.

2. Practice abdominal breathing: Lie down flat, inhale through your nostrils, then hold your breath, let the air flow through your abdominal cavity, and then slowly exhale through your nostrils.

3. Take a sauna to help sweating, and take a cold shower after 10 to 15 minutes to stimulate blood circulation.

4. While exercising, you must always replenish water. You can also drink green tea, but never drink carbonated drinks. It is best not to drink sports drinks on the market during the detoxification period.
