In yoga practice, we often say that stretching is very important, but there is one part that is very secret.
Usually, we rarely stretch.
That is our [armpit].
The armpit, commonly known as the “armpit”, is distributed with nerves, blood vessels and lymph nodes that innervate the upper limbs.
It gathers lymph from the chest wall of the upper limbs and the superficial layer of the back.
It is known as the “three health care special zones” of the human body in traditional Chinese medicine (the other two refer to the dorsal and umbilical regions).
What harm will axillary lymph congestion do to the body? 1.
It may lead to lobular hyperplasia and mammary gland hyperplasia in the chest, and even breast cancer in severe 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 upper limbs and arms.
4.
It causes shoulder and neck meridians to be blocked, causing shoulder and neck discomfort.
Today, I have compiled a set of yoga sequences, which can stretch well to the armpit.
