Feeling itchy after tapping the meridians on the legs

There are six important meridians in the human legs. In daily life, many people like to tap the meridians to achieve the purpose of health care. If you tap the leg meridians, it can not only achieve the purpose of health care, but also promote the activation of qi and blood in the legs, so that fat in the legs is not easily accumulated. Therefore, we should develop a good habit of tapping the leg meridians regularly, but why do we feel itchy after tapping the leg meridians?

Meridian tapping has great benefits. It can relieve diseases, cure diseases and prevent diseases, and has health-promoting effects on the kidneys. However, meridian tapping cannot be done casually. It requires skills, otherwise it will easily harm your health. You must go to a regular hospital for meridian tapping.

Random shooting and hitting

Too heavy a technique may cause "internal injuries"

"Tapping the meridians was once popular for a while. For example, the famous 'knocking on the gallbladder meridian' is a classic tapping therapy." Experts say that tapping therapy is a type of massage that is easy to perform and its theoretical basis is the meridian and acupoint theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that meridians are channels for the circulation of qi and blood. Tapping the meridians and acupoints helps keep the meridians unobstructed, so as to cure diseases and protect oneself.

Although meridian tapping is simple and easy to learn, it also involves certain risks. "There are many medical and health care clinics that mainly use slapping therapy, and cases of injuries from slapping are not uncommon." Experts say that slapping therapy is similar to scraping, and some treatments require slapping to "produce sand" and believe that "producing sand" has better effects. However, many therapists use heavy-handed techniques. For example, slapping to drive away the cold can damage the lung qi if you slap too hard. Therefore, it is not recommended to go to a clinic for tapping treatment casually.
