Lower body "fat"? 3 ways to detoxify and remove dampness, you can also do it in the office

Do you sit for hours at work every day, with your butt stuck to the chair all day without moving? Be careful! Over time, this may cause your lower body to become "fat". Not only will your butt get bigger the more you sit, but poor blood circulation in the lower body will also cause edema! Chinese medicine practitioners say that if you want to prevent your buttocks and thighs from getting swollen from sitting too much, patting your legs moderately and using an office chair to stretch are both good ways to reduce swelling!

This is the reason for lower body obesity! Unblocking the spleen meridian is beneficial to water metabolism

In fact, Chinese medicine believes that long periods of sitting can easily lead to lower body obesity. This is mainly because the body's moisture moves downwards due to lack of exercise, poor blood circulation, and inability to effectively eliminate it. Therefore, the lower abdomen, buttocks, and thighs are parts of the human body that are prone to swelling.

To eliminate edema, according to TCM theory, the body's water metabolism is closely related to the normal functioning of the spleen. Therefore, in terms of conditioning, it is recommended that if you want to improve the edema problem in the lower body, it is very important to moderately dredge the spleen meridian through acupoint massage!

Shake off the lower body edema! Do these 3 tricks to detoxify and remove dampness

In response to the above problems, Chinese medicine practitioner Mi Luo, who comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, wrote in his book "24 Solar Terms Self-Healing Health Preservation Method - Eat and Do According to the Solar Terms to Avoid Cancer and Disease!" 》 specially recommends 3 tricks to easily detoxify and remove dampness in the office during the lunch break, which are provided for your reference:

The spleen meridian is at the edge of the inner bone of the calf. If you run down along the edge of the inner bone of the calf, and frequently knead and massage the spleen meridian, you can unclog it.

[Method 1/Massage the inner side of the calf to remove dampness]

First sit down on the chair. When sitting on a chair, pay attention to moving your hips slightly forward and sitting in the front third of the chair. Then lift one leg and place it on the knee of the other leg. The inner trouser line is the location of the spleen meridian. The spleen meridian is at the edge of the inner bone of the calf. If you run down along the edge of the inner bone of the calf, and frequently knead and massage the spleen meridian, you can unclog it.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "pain means blockage", so during the kneading process, if you find that specific parts are particularly sore, it means that these parts are where the spleen meridian is blocked and need more massage to clear them.

There is an acupoint on the bladder meridian called Weizhong (the midpoint of the striated muscle behind the popliteal fossa), which is a key acupoint for stimulation. After tapping the spleen meridian, tap the Weizhong point about 100 times until it becomes warm, which will help to clear the meridians.

[Method 2/Tapping the bladder meridian helps the body detoxify]

In addition to the spleen meridian, moderately dredging the bladder meridian can also enhance the detoxification effect! There are more ways to dredge the bladder meridian than just patting. There is an acupoint on the bladder meridian called Weizhong (the midpoint of the striated muscle behind the popliteal fossa), which is a key acupoint for stimulation. After tapping the spleen meridian, tap the Weizhong point about 100 times until it becomes warm, which will help to clear the meridians.

Sit on a chair, first open your right leg outward, move your hips back a little, so that your thighs are sitting on the surface of the chair. Then extend your left leg to the left, lift your heel, touch the ground with your toes, and turn your body to the right.

[Trick 3/Exercise to remove dampness that can also be done in the office]

The movements to exercise the spleen meridian in the office are very simple. Sit on a chair, first open your right leg outward, move your hips back a little, so that your thighs are straddling the surface of the chair. Then extend your left leg to the left, lift your heel, touch the ground with your toes, and turn your body to the right.

Although the movements are simple, doing this alone will not have the effect of exercising the spleen meridian. Therefore, if you are able, try to lift your hips and thighs off the chair; coordinate the movement with your breathing, lowering your hips when you exhale and raising them when you inhale.

After practicing the left leg, switch to the right leg. While doing this, you can put your hands on your hips or hold on to the back of a chair. This movement can promote blood circulation in the entire lower limbs. If you can't do it for 30 seconds, start by holding it for 10 seconds, then slowly lower your right leg and bring your left leg back.
