I have tried many ways to thin my thighs myself, such as eliminating edema and riding a bike. You should be talking about scraping massage to relieve edema. I have tried, mainly because it is difficult for me to persist for a long time. In summer, I stick my legs to the wall at 90 degrees every night. Because I have serious edema after staying up late, this method takes effect quickly.
So I think scraping thighs by hand should be able to lose weight. It is recommended to use horn comb or scraper, which is easier to use and more labor-saving.
