When rotating, the speed should be slow and hard, and then both wrists should be done inward, downward and outward for 30 ~ 50 times. After finishing, hands and arms will feel very hot and have obvious pain. There are also six meridians in hands and arms, namely, heart, pericardium, lung, large intestine, small intestine and triple energizer meridian. Wrist movement can promote the operation of these six meridians and improve the function of corresponding organs for about 3 months.
