Thank you for meeting you and meeting a better person every time in life! When practicing yoga, we often say that stretching is very important, but there is one part that is very secret, and we seldom stretch, that is our armpit.
The armpit, commonly known as the “armpit”, is distributed with nerves, blood vessels and lymph nodes that control the upper limb, and collects the upper limb chest wall and the superficial lymph on the back.
It is called the “three special health zones of the human body” by Chinese medicine (the other two refer to the back and the umbilicus).
What harm can axillary lymph stasis cause to the body? 1.
It may lead to lobular hyperplasia in the chest, hyperplasia of the breast, and even breast cancer in serious cases.
2.
It may affect the detoxification of the six meridians of the arm, such as the large intestine, small intestine, pericardium, triple energizer, lung, pericardium, and heart meridians.
3.
It causes fat accumulation in the upper limbs and arms 4.
It causes discomfort in the shoulder and neck due to blockage of the meridians of the shoulder and neck.
Today, I compiled a series of yoga sequences that can stretch well to the armpit.
Female friends suggest to practice regularly! 01.
