The key to Xiao Panpan's 20kg fat loss by "pulling tendons" is...

Well-known actress Xiao Panpan has faded out of the screen and rarely appeared in public since her marriage. However, when she attended a public event a few days ago, she revealed that she gained a lot of weight due to artificial insemination two years ago and her figure has become very out of shape. Unexpectedly, after trying the "Baijin" therapy, which unblocks the body's tendons by pinching and tapping the meridians, I successfully lost 20 kilograms and regained my graceful figure. What exactly is "Muscle Massage"? Does it really have such a magical effect in assisting weight loss? Let’s hear what professional Chinese medicine practitioners say!

Traditional Chinese medicine talks about "pulling tendons" from the principle of "pain means blockage, and no pain if the blockage is unblocked"

Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu said that the so-called "muscle-pulling" is a folk therapy that has been derived from the theory of tendons and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine and has been passed down for many years. The operation method is mainly to use the tapping and pinching actions of both hands, or to use blunt-angle tools to press and move the meridians located in the depressions of the bone joints of the human body; the hope is to dredge blocked qi and blood, keep qi and blood flowing smoothly, and achieve the purpose of self-care.

However, does the "muscle-moving" exercise really have such magical health benefits? In this regard, Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu pointed out that traditional Chinese medicine believes that "pain means obstruction, and no pain if the obstruction is unobstructed." Therefore, if the movements are performed properly, through moderate kneading and pressing, blocked meridians can be unblocked, allowing Qi and blood to flow smoothly, which can indeed help relieve pain, increase metabolic rate, and increase tissue repair ability. For example, common TCM therapies such as acupoint massage, scraping, cupping, and acupuncture are also among the treatment methods used to achieve the above-mentioned purpose.

Xiao Panpan loses weight by repeatedly "pulling muscles" Doctor: The key is to regulate the disordered endocrine system

Can the "muscle-pulling" movement really help to lose weight? Chinese medicine practitioner Wu Mingzhu explained that in the case of Xiao Panpan, the reason for his rapid weight gain in a short period of time was mainly due to the drastic changes in hormones in the body during the artificial insemination process, which in turn disrupted the normal functioning of the endocrine system, causing qi stagnation and blood stasis, and affecting the body's metabolic rate.

Therefore, when Xiao Panpan repeatedly uses the "muscle-moving" therapy to moderately stimulate important tendons in the human body, such as the liver meridian surrounding the genitals and genitals, to help unblock blocked tendons, it can indeed promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, and activate the body's repair ability. If they also develop a regular exercise habit, as well as a balanced diet, a normal work and rest schedule and other lifestyle adjustments, it will naturally help them lose weight.

Be careful when doing tendon massage or scraping. It is not recommended for these people to do it on their own.

But it is worth noting that although moderate tendon-pushing movements are beneficial to the unblocking of tendons and meridians, compared to the common acupoint pressing, it involves the use of blunt-angle tools and is a type of deep massage. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the selection of utensils to avoid choosing overly rough and sharp items, so as not to cause bruises and abrasions instead of health care.

In addition, it is particularly important to clarify that when performing the above therapy, more attention should be paid to the control of strength during the kneading, pressing, and tendon massage. The harder you use and the more pain it causes, the more effective it is not necessarily; nor is it necessarily the case that the more sha points there are and the larger the area, the better. In fact, improper application of force in the acupoint massage will not only cause large bruises, but the skin may also be over-stimulated and may become broken, allergic, or even cause local skin inflammation, infection and other uncomfortable reactions.

In particular, it is not recommended for people with allergies, eczema, abnormal coagulation function, cardiovascular disease and other problems; or for infants and preschool children with delicate skin to try it without consulting a professional doctor. It will not only fail to achieve health benefits, but also aggravate the discomfort.

Massage 7 acupoints to get a slim and good figure and promote metabolism

From the perspective of a Chinese medicine practitioner, the "jin-bo" therapy, which is a deep massage, is not suitable for everyone. Therefore, Dr. Wu Mingzhu also recommends 7 acupressure methods that are more approachable than acupressure, for women with poor gynecological function, endocrine disorders, and plump bodies due to long periods of sitting, as a reference for daily health care:
