Health for All says
First of all, an important part of the bath is the back. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the back is an important meridian of the human body, and rubbing the back can promote the circulation of qi and blood, relieve the fatigue and tension of the back muscles, and help relieve shoulder and neck pain, low back pain and other problems. When rubbing your back, you can gently rub it with your hands or with a towel, focusing on the muscles on both sides of the spine and the area around your shoulder blades.
The second site is the abdomen. The abdomen is the "second brain" of the human body, and it is closely related to the digestion, absorption, excretion and other functions of the human body. By rubbing the abdomen, it can stimulate the meridians and organs of the abdomen, promote intestinal peristalsis, and improve digestive function. At the same time, abdominal rubbing can also promote the decomposition and burning of fat, so as to achieve the best effect. When rubbing your abdomen, you can choose clockwise or counterclockwise directions, combined with deep breathing, to enhance the soothing effect.
The third part is the hands and feet. The hands and feet are the distal parts of the human body, and they are also important reflex areas for the meridians and viscera organs. By rubbing the hands and feet, it can stimulate the relevant acupuncture points, promote the circulation of qi and blood, and adjust the balance of yin and yang throughout the body. Especially for people with cold hands and feet, frequent numbness, fatigue and other problems, rubbing of hands and feet is more important. When rubbing your hands and feet, you can choose to massage with your palms, rub with your thumbs, scrape with your nails, etc., with moderate force and avoid overstimulation.
The fourth part is the head. The head is the intersection of the body's meridians and the channel through which yang energy rises. By rubbing the head, it can promote blood circulation in the scalp and improve headaches, insomnia and other problems. Especially when rubbing the acupuncture points at the junction of the head and neck, it can help relieve the symptoms of cervical fatigue and dizziness. When rubbing your head, you can choose to gently press and rub your scalp with your fingers, or massage with natural botanical oils for a soothing and relaxing effect.
The fifth part is the chest. As the location of the heart and lungs, the chest can promote blood circulation in the chest, enhance the function of the heart, and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases by rubbing. In addition, rubbing can also stimulate breast tissue and promote milk secretion, which is especially important for postpartum women. When rubbing the ** part, you should pay attention to the moderate strength, so as not to cause excessive stimulation and uncomfortable feeling.
The last part is the face. The face is one of the most important organs in the human body, and by rubbing the face, it can promote blood circulation in the face, improve dull complexion, increase wrinkles and other problems, and increase the radiance and elasticity of the face. In addition, facial rubbing can also stimulate the acupuncture points of the face, promote breathing and regulate qi and blood. When rubbing your face, you can choose to massage the cheeks, temples, around the eyes and other areas with the palms of both hands, avoiding the sensitive areas of the eyes and nose.
To sum up, rubbing the back, abdomen, hands and feet, head, chest and face when taking a bath has a positive effect on promoting blood circulation in the body, enhancing immunity and prolonging life. Of course, everyone's physical condition is different, so the method and strength of the rubbing also need to be adjusted according to the individual's needs and feelings. In conclusion, maintaining good bathing habits and rubbing specific parts of the body reasonably is very important for our health.
