Sedentary brewing lymphatic circulation is not good, easy to edema. Moderate pressure helps to smooth.
Before discussing why moderate lymphatic massage is beneficial to human body, let's first understand what lymphatic circulation is! Dr Lian Yongxiang, an expert of traditional Chinese medicine in Taiwan Province Province, mentioned in his book Hypermetabolism, Meridian Lymphatic Massage that lymph is one of the important circulation channels of human body, and the lymphatic system consists of lymphatic vessels, lymphatic organs and lymphatic tissues. Mainly responsible for the recovery of human body fluids, as well as the filtration and removal of pathogens and foreign bodies, as well as assisting the transportation of metabolic wastes in the human body.
It is worth noting that although the lymphatic system plays an important role in the transportation of human body fluids. But compared with the cardiovascular system, there is a 24-hour pump (heart) as the driving force to pump blood out and circulate it to the whole body; Lymphatic vessels that metabolize old and waste materials in the human body can only rely on external forces to transport body fluids. Therefore, once the lymphatic system cannot flow smoothly due to natural aging, stress and lack of activity, it will make body fluids stay, leading to annoying edema, fine lines relaxation and other symptoms. Therefore, if people want to get rid of edema and poor metabolism, how to smooth lymphatic circulation is very important! Moderate hot compress or pressing on uncomfortable parts is a good self-care choice.
Because when the body temperature is high, the kinetic energy of the body will be stronger, so it is suggested that the time point of pressing at night can be chosen after bathing, and at this time, the residual heat of water temperature can help promote the accumulation of lymph in one day and strengthen the metabolism of the body.

Is lymphatic massage suitable for everyone? However, what should lymphatic massage do to achieve the best results? Is it really suitable for everyone? In his book, Dr. Lian Yongxiang also focuses on four common Q&; Answer:
Q 1: When is the best time to do lymphatic compression?
Lymphatic compression can be applied anytime and anywhere. However, if you can do it every morning and evening, the effect will be the best. After getting up in the morning, pressing at this time can help people wake up and strengthen circulation. In addition, because the body's kinetic energy will be stronger when the body temperature is high, it is recommended to press it at night, perhaps after taking a shower. At this time, the residual heat of water temperature can help promote the accumulation of lymph in a day and strengthen the metabolism of the body.
Q 2: Is everyone suitable for lymphatic oppression?
Lymphatic pressing, like massage, is suitable for almost everyone, but some constitutions should be avoided. Although the following patients are not unable to press, it should be considered that the process of pressing may cause friction to the skin and damage to local tissues. Therefore, it is suggested that if you or your relatives and friends belong to the following constitution, it is best to consult a professional doctor before pressing.
1. People with severe diabetes.
2. Patients with abnormal coagulation function.
3. People with cardiovascular infarction.
4. When suffering from serious skin diseases.
5. When there is local inflammation, redness and heat pain.
6. Excessive weakness after a serious illness.
7. Pregnant women.
If you have time, you will be advised to press all parts of your body once, preferably in the order of legs, abdomen, chest, hands and face. (Photo/provided by China Health Network)
Q3: Is there a sequence of lymphatic compression in different parts of the body? Which part should I press first?
If you have time, you will be advised to press all parts of your body once, preferably in the order of legs, abdomen, chest, hands and face. Because according to this order, lymph accumulated in the periphery can flow back to the cardiovascular system in order, which naturally helps to achieve the best effect.
Q4: If time permits, how many times can I do lymphatic compression a day?
Basically, if time permits, you can do full circulation three times a day to help detoxify the whole body and improve metabolism. Especially getting up in the morning and taking a bath at night are the best time points, and the third time point can be noon (1 1? 1), according to the theory of ancient Chinese medicine, it is easier to promote the overall circulation when qi and blood walk in the heart meridian.
On the contrary, if there is a time limit, it is recommended to do at least 1 time in the morning and evening, but it is not necessary to do full-body compression, but to focus on the parts you want to shape or strengthen, plus abdominal compression. For example, if you want to eliminate edema on your face, you can press abdominal lymph after pressing your face to achieve the overall strengthening of limbs and visceral lymph.
