Once upon a time, knocking on the gallbladder meridian became a popular health care method for the elderly. In the park, many elderly people beat the outside of their lower limbs with half-empty fists. The gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang circulates on the lateral side of lower limbs and the trunk side.

So in this part, what kind of health care function and health preservation function will you have if you knock it like this?

Seeing some reports in the media, mainly from the media, is a bit exaggerated. For example, knocking on the gallbladder can lose weight, which is debatable. However, I think it is worth recommending that tapping the gallbladder meridian may have a more important and real effect on the lateral thigh of lower limbs, and it is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends to use as a daily health care method. What's the point?

With the growth of age, the bones of the human body are getting worse and worse. At this time, the position where muscles attach to bones is prone to pain diffusion, and the motor function and support ability of human body will also be damaged. Therefore, it is often said that when people get old, their legs get weak first. Then, if you want to make your lower limb muscles very strong and well supported, the role of exercise can not be ignored, that is, a huge muscle on the outside of the lower limb, that is, the gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang. This muscle is called iliotibial tract. The ilium of iliotibial tract is the ilium, and the tibia is the tibia. Refers to the largest facial bone of the calf, which is called tibia.

So these two bones, one in the calf and the other in the hip and waist, are far apart and connected by a very large muscle-iliotibial tract. From ilium to lateral tibia, this muscle is very important and powerful for maintaining upright posture and walking and running functions. If this muscle becomes stronger, then the human body will not feel bored in the lower limbs.

However, with the osteoporosis of bones, exercise reduces the loss of calcium, and the muscle strength of the elderly outside the lower limbs begins to weaken. This muscle is often subjected to excessive injury and strain, and pain will follow. Therefore, it helps to relieve muscle fatigue and spasm, improve the blood supply of this muscle, and of course help to improve the support and motor function of the body.

What is more appropriate? The recommended method is tapping. Percussion is a very professional massage technique in clinical application. Specific operation method: hold your hands in the air into a fist, don't make a fist, be empty in the middle, and it is best to insert a finger. When tapping, it is from the position of ilium of the belt, below the belt, and then to the lateral uplift of tibia below the knee joint. This line is the center line of the outer thigh, and the fist is clenched from top to bottom. Such tapping can tap the whole process of iliotibial tract, relieve the tension and spasm of iliotibial tract, and produce benign stimulation to many muscles of waist and buttocks.

In fact, many old people's backache, some hip pain, and some radial pain on the outer thigh are all mistaken for sciatica, which is caused by disc herniation. Actually, it is not. For many elderly people with bone changes and waist and knee pain caused by excessive calcium loss, there are often gluteal muscle epithelial nerve compression, piriformis syndrome, spasmodic pain caused by gluteal muscle tension and so on. This kind of symptoms similar to sciatic nerve can be completely improved by simply slamming the iliotibial tract, so that the adverse events of those nerves can be removed, thus alleviating what I just said.

This method is a benign stimulus, but it is not the full function of gallbladder meridian. Knocking on the gallbladder meridian also plays an important role, not only for the elderly, but also for many young and middle-aged friends in those years, which is of great help to reproductive function, urinary function and metabolic function, and also shows the true meaning of the gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang. So what acupoints and methods are there? Please listen to the next breakdown.
