Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is all over the meridians, and properly stimulating some specific points on the meridians can relax muscles and activate collaterals, promote the circulation of qi and blood, and regulate the functions of viscera, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening muscles and bones and strengthening the body. Therefore, it is no problem for the elderly to keep fit through the excavation of meridians.
In some cases, it can really relieve symptoms. For example, patients with colds and heatstroke, if the symptoms are mild, patients can pat the elbow socket and armpits until they boil, which will make them feel much more relaxed and comfortable.
Pay attention to the hammer hitting the whole body:
The "slapping therapy" is more than just slapping and beating. People should move their wrists before beating the meridians; When slapping, the strength should be appropriate, and generally the slapping part has the feeling of heat, swelling, acid and numbness; Pat should be done step by step, and the elderly and infirm can't do it at once, so they can have a rest in the middle; After playing, it is not advisable to touch cold water immediately, because at this time, the capillaries in both hands are open and easy to be invaded by cold pathogens.
In addition, not everyone is suitable for "slapping therapy". According to Hainan Daily, it is not recommended that patients with hypertension, heart disease and hemorrhagic diseases, local wounds, infected people, patients with arrhythmia and osteoporosis, and people who are allergic to pain take "slapping therapy" on their own.
