Clearing heat and dehumidifying - bladder meridian
Bladder meridian: Speaking of clearing heat and dehumidity, there is a meridian that can be described as the "main force", that is, the bladder meridian, which is the largest detoxification meridian of the human body, and can also regulate various problems of the waist and legs.
Method: It's very simple, if you are at home, find a small porcelain spoon to drink soup instead of a gua sha board, and prepare a little olive oil. Apply olive oil to your back first, which will act as a lubrication. Then hold the handle of the spoon, press the edge of the spoon on the part to be scraped, and scrape it repeatedly 15~20 times with a little force.
In general, the most common areas to scrape are the sides of the spine in the back, which is where the muscles are thickest. The bladder meridian goes downward, so gua sha is generally scraped from top to bottom. When shaving, divide the entire back into three sections: upper, middle and lower. Scrape the upper section first, then the middle section and the lower section, each scraping from the left. In addition, 3 p.m. is the time when the bladder meridian is on duty, and it will be better to stimulate it at this time.
The bladder meridian and the kidney meridian are on the surface. When people are old, they tend to be depressed, have poor spirits, and have a poor memory, which is related to the lack of kidney qi. Frequent scraping of the bladder meridian can also produce a good mood.
