According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are six important meridians distributed on the fingers. Finger movement not only involves the most sensitive central nervous system, but also has the widest projection area in the cerebral cortex. The projected area of thumb is about 10 times of the projected area of thigh.
Doctors pointed out that long-term uninterrupted exercise of ten fingers can not only nourish the heart, promote blood circulation and dredge the pulse, but also directly stimulate brain cells and effectively delay the aging of brain cells.
Massage techniques are roughly as follows: First, the left and right fingers are inserted in parallel and rubbed against each other until the eight fingers are hot; Second, the left and right hands are combined into a fist shape, and the two thumbs are attached in parallel, and they are half-rotated until the thumb and the root of the thumb (that is, the thenar) have a heat sensation; The third is to hook the index finger and middle finger of the right hand on the thumb, ring finger and little finger of the left hand, and then the roots of the two thumbs are offset and the thumb twists zigzag.
