Mark's mother's leg beauty technique: tapping the gallbladder meridian and scraping the liver meridian

The flesh on the inner thighs is connected together, while the flesh on the outer thighs is as thick as a saddle. This is a nightmare shared by many women, especially when spring comes, they worry that they will not be able to change into beautiful short skirts. Well-known blogger Mark Mama specially shared her method of slimming down thighs. In addition to regular daily exercise, you can also use Chinese medicine's tapping of the gallbladder meridian and scraping of the liver meridian to help expel moisture accumulated in the body, eliminate edema, promote metabolism, and restore beautiful leg lines.

For thin skin, tap the gallbladder meridian; for thin skin, scrape the liver meridian

Mark's mother mentioned in her blog that if you want to lose weight on the saddle fat on the outer thigh, you need to clear the blocked gallbladder meridian. First, find the middle line of the outer thigh, and tap 4 points from the outer thigh root near the buttocks to the outer side of the knee. Tap once from top to bottom, and tap 50 times a day.

If you want to say goodbye to the fat on the inner thighs, use the same method, find the middle line of the inner thigh, and scrape from the inner thigh root towards the knee, or from the inner knee towards the thigh root. It is best to choose the same direction, 50 times a day with one foot, and 100 times with both legs.

Mark's mother pointed out that the tools to be used include using the finger joints with a fist, a roller stick or a roller massager. It will be very painful at the beginning, and even bruises and red spots will appear, but as long as it continues for 1 month, the effect will slowly appear. After 3 months, the originally connected inner flesh and the expanded saddle flesh will gradually disappear, but in the middle, it is still necessary to cooperate with leg stretching and leg lifting exercises to achieve a two-pronged approach.

Doctors remind: Slight fever and redness are enough

Zhou Wei-yu, a Chinese medicine practitioner at the Linsen Branch of Taipei United Hospital, pointed out that Chinese medicine believes that the gallbladder meridian and liver meridian are responsible for regulating the functions of various internal organs. Unblocking the two can strengthen the function of the meridians, enhance metabolism, and accelerate the dispersal and expulsion of cold air from the thighs. It is especially effective for dampness accumulation caused by long periods of sitting in the office. However, it is recommended to use a pressing method when tapping the gallbladder meridian or scraping the liver meridian until you feel a slight warmth or redness, to avoid excessive stimulation and injury.

In terms of acupoints, the gallbladder meridian can stimulate the Huantiao, Fengshi, Zhongdu, Xiyangguan and other acupoints; the liver meridian has many acupoints such as Yinlian, Zuwuli, Yinbao, Ququan, etc. Try to do it during the day to avoid affecting sleep. In addition, it is reminded to avoid tapping the gallbladder meridian within 2 hours after a meal and after 11 pm. Pregnant women, women during their menstrual period or those with cardiovascular diseases should not do it.
