Can patting the inside of your arms help detoxify?

Patting the inside of your arms will not detoxify, but it will promote blood circulation like scraping, thereby speeding up metabolism. However, excessive patting may cause blood vessel rupture or even congestion, so you need to control the strength when patting. In fact, detoxification can be achieved through daily diet, drinking plenty of water, and eating more fiber-rich vegetables and fruits, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and speed up metabolism, hoping to achieve the detoxification effect.

1. Patting your arms to detoxify is not a reliable method. Regarding the claim that "patting the elbows can detoxify", professional doctors say that this is an unreliable statement. The doctor explained: These black spots or bruises are actually broken and bleeding capillaries, and do not indicate heavy dampness, coldness, or detoxification. Patting is indeed a common technique of Chinese medicine massage, but its main function can be summed up in eight words: "promoting qi and blood circulation, and unblocking meridians." This is somewhat similar to the principles of common Chinese medicine techniques such as scraping and cupping.

As for the so-called "detoxification" among the people, doctors say that this is more likely a "gimmick" for business promotions. As for the statement that the darker the color of the bruises on the body, the more toxins there are in the body, this is even more "nonsense". Even if it is scraping or cupping, the effectiveness of the treatment mainly depends on the improvement of the symptoms, not just judging from the skin and thinking that "the darker the color, the better the effect."

The statement circulating on the Internet is restored: "Patting the inner side of the arm and the bend of the arm can detoxify. First, pat the inner side of the arm, which is the source of the twelve meridians. The bend of the arm is the location of the 'Qu Ze Point' of the pericardium meridian. Pat it vigorously for a few minutes, and you will see black and purple bumps constantly popping up. After a few days, when the black and purple fades, the skin of the patted area will become smooth, indicating that the blood stasis and toxins in this area have been discharged."

2 Correct patting helps to promote qi and blood circulation. If you usually feel back pain, or body soreness after exercise or fatigue, you can gently pat yourself to promote qi and blood circulation. Correct patting technique: Bend your palms slightly into a bow shape, with your palms empty, and gently and rhythmically tap the corresponding parts of the body. Rely on the airflow in the palms of your hands to achieve the effect of promoting qi and blood circulation, which will be reflected on the skin as long as you see a slight redness. Remember not to pat directly with the palms of your hands, and don't pat too hard, so as to avoid "being too rough" and causing damage.

3 The best way to detoxify is exercise detoxification method 1. Take a walk for at least 30 minutes every day and do some gentle and soothing exercises, such as jogging and Tai Chi.

2. Practice abdominal breathing: Lie down flat, inhale through your nostrils, then hold your breath, let the air flow through your abdominal cavity, and then slowly exhale through your nostrils.

3. Take a sauna to help sweating, and take a cold shower after 10 to 15 minutes to stimulate blood circulation.

4. While exercising, you must always replenish water. You can also drink green tea, but never drink carbonated drinks. It is best not to drink sports drinks on the market during the detoxification period.
