The ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the body as a whole and focuses on the energy flow in the body. Skin scraping is an ancient technique from TCM to help release emotional traumas and physical pains in the body. It not only promotes lymphatic flow to support the detoxification process in the body but also helps the body heal at the emotional and physical levels. Very often, we focused on the liver detox but overlooked the importance of lymphatic drainage. Your liver and lymphatic system work very closely together to help remove toxins from the body. When toxins are stuck in your lymphatic system, they trap more water in your lymph flow, which can manifest as stubborn weight gain, this is lymphedema in disguise. Now, let’s add the emotional traumas into the picture regarding weight gain. From energy medicine, weight gain is caused by layers of emotional baggage we have unconsciously carried. From Western medicine, we do have evidence of why emotional traumas contribute to weight gain because they trap more toxins in your fascia and lymphatic system. Let’s look into unique ways to release these emotional traumas that have been stuck in our bodies and energy fields. A good lymphatic drainage can help release emotional traumas especially when it combines with the ancient techniques to work both on the fascia and meridian system.
