Even lazy people can lose weight! Chinese medicine practitioner Huang Huijuan reveals: Massaging and tapping the liver and gallbladder meridians before bed can help lose weight

The pace of life for modern people is getting faster and faster, with high work pressure and busy lives. Many people do not have time to go to the gym or control their diet, resulting in an increasingly serious obesity problem. However, there is actually a lazy way to lose weight. You only need to massage and tap the liver and gallbladder meridians before going to bed, which can effectively reduce obesity in the lower body.

Chinese medicine practitioner Huang Huijuan said that according to the 12 meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the gallbladder meridian is in operation from 11 pm to 1 am. At this time, the body enters a deep sleep stage, which helps to guide the yang energy to descend into the kidneys, maintain the smooth functioning of the internal organs, and achieve the effect of health preservation. If you are still unable to fall asleep at this time, the gallbladder meridian will be stagnant and blocked, which can easily lead to the accumulation of fat and water retention on the outside of the calves.

The liver meridian is running from 1am to 3am. If you are still a night owl at this time, it will affect the liver's detoxification and body's metabolic function, reduce kidney Qi, and easily form fat on the inner thighs.

Chinese medicine practitioner Huang Huijuan said that the gallbladder meridian is distributed on the outside of the legs and buttocks, and the liver meridian runs along the inside of the legs to the perineum. If you want to get rid of lower body obesity, whether it is edema type or fat type, in addition to exercise and diet control, going to bed on time before 11 pm is the easiest way. Tapping or massaging the liver and gallbladder meridians after taking a shower before going to bed is more conducive to sculpting your body.

It should be noted that massaging the liver and gallbladder meridians has a certain direction. It is recommended to put your fingers together and bend your palms slightly, and first pat from the buttocks along the thighs, the outside of the calves to the soles of the feet to activate the gallbladder meridian and acupoints, and then use massage or twisting methods to massage the inside of the legs from the big toe to the genitals to promote blood circulation in the liver meridian, enhance metabolism in the lower body, and stay away from pear-shaped or elephant-legged obesity.

Tapping the liver and gallbladder meridians not only helps prevent fat accumulation in the lower body, but also has a good sculpting effect on puffy and edematous bodies.

Tapping the liver and gallbladder meridians not only helps prevent fat accumulation in the lower body, but also has a good sculpting effect on puffy and edematous bodies. Chinese medicine practitioner Huang Huijuan said that people who go to bed late are prone to blood deficiency, and insufficient sleep will cause qi deficiency, poor metabolism, and symptoms such as obesity, fatigue, weak breath, panting when walking, and soft and weak muscles in the limbs. For this type of obesity, Chinese medicine often uses hawthorn and Fritillaria to help fat metabolism, and then uses astragalus to replenish qi, lose weight and improve physical fitness.

For women who are prone to edema in the lower body, Chinese medicine practitioners recommend that office workers who sit for long periods of time, if they press on the skin tissue and feel indentations and depressions on the epidermis, it will return to its original state in about 3 to 5 seconds. This is usually related to poor lymphatic circulation. They can massage the Sanyinjiao and Yinlingquan points more often.

However, if the edema is caused by kidney disease, the indentation may sink deep into the skin and be difficult to recover in a short time. Or if the elderly have poor sleep and poor kidney qi, the edema in the lower body spreads from the ankles to above the knees. This is severe edema and you should use drugs such as yam and rehmannia to nourish the kidneys and make adjustments according to your personal constitution.

In particular, if you feel thirsty easily when sleeping at night, it may be due to insufficient water intake during the day. Usually, adjusting your drinking habits can improve the situation and prevent edema when you wake up. However, it may also be caused by a yin deficiency constitution, which leads to insufficient body moisture and poor metabolism, affecting the endocrine system. It is more common in diabetic patients and often requires drug treatment.
