The efficacy of massage?

1, promoting blood circulation, relieving pain and dredging meridians. When qi and blood flow poorly and meridians are blocked, swelling or pain will appear in some parts of the body. At this time, massage can make qi and blood run normally, improve blood circulation, dredge meridians and relieve physical pain.

2. Adjust functions and reconcile yin and yang. The acupoints on the body surface are the same as our internal organs, so we can stimulate the acupoints on the body surface by massage to achieve the effect of regulating the function of viscera and maintaining the balance of yin and yang. If we stimulate the area of our feet corresponding to the viscera or the area of gland reflex, we can improve the function of the corresponding viscera and the secretion of glands.

3. Eliminate fatigue and relieve stress. By stimulating some acupoints in the body, physical and mental fatigue can be eliminated. For those who use their eyes too much and feel tired of vision, massage can be used to improve the sense of visual fatigue and improve work efficiency.

Matters needing attention

1, the massage direction should be consistent with the muscle direction: along the muscle growth direction, slowly and rhythmically, wrinkles and muscle direction are at right angles, and hands and wrinkles move at right angles, that is, along the muscle direction. If the wrinkles are horizontal, massage them vertically; Wrinkles are vertical, so massage horizontally.

2. Fingers for massage: When massaging, gently draw a circle on the skin with the middle finger and the ring finger, which is too light to touch. Finger movements should have a sense of rhythm, and avoid excessive rubbing of the epidermis.

3, massage time should not be too long, generally controlled in about 5 minutes. Massage works best when the pores are open, so it is best to massage after bathing or cleansing. In addition, the same effect can be obtained by applying it with a hot towel.
