Tapping the Eight Points: An Exercise Routine for Improved Health and Wellness

In this video, Dr. Alexway shares a simple exercise routine called "tapping the eight nests in our body." This exercise involves tapping specific pressure points on the body, known as the eight nests, to stimulate the internal organs through the meridians or energy channels. The eight nests include the elbows, armpits, groin, and knees, with a left and right side for each. Tapping these eight pressure points can help to expel toxins, improve circulation, and boost the immune system. This article will provide an in-depth explanation of tapping the eight nests and its benefits.

Precautions

Before beginning the exercise, there are a few precautions that need to be taken. Firstly, the exercise should be done at least one hour after eating a meal. Secondly, it is important to prevent wind from entering the body while doing the exercise. This can be achieved by avoiding natural wind when outside and turning off the AC or fan when inside. Thirdly, drinking warm water before and after the exercise can help prevent dehydration, increase metabolism, and flush out waste and toxins. Fourthly, taking a warm shower after the exercise should be done at least three hours afterwards. Finally, there are some people who should not be doing this form of exercise, including those who bleed easily, have serious diabetes, skin inflammation, or open wounds in those areas. Women who are menstruating should also avoid doing this exercise.

Tapping the Eight Nests

Tap the Left & Right Elbow Joints: 

To tap the eight nests, a cupped palm is used to tap the pressure points on the body. The routine starts by lifting the left hand and using the right palm to tap the left elbow joint. This area consists of pressure points of the lung, heart, and pericardium meridians. Tapping this area can help with symptoms such as chest pain, heart palpitation, and shortness of breath. The skin is linked to the lung, so stimulating the lung meridian can also help with skin health. This movement is done 36 times before switching to the other side.

Tap the Left & Right Armpits: 

Next, the armpits are tapped by lifting the left hand and touching the back of the head, then using the right palm to tap the left armpit. Tapping this area can stimulate the heart and gallbladder meridians, improve circulation in the lymphatic system, and help with relaxation. This movement is also done 36 times on each side.

Tap the Groin Area: 

The groin area is tapped next, using the side opposite the thumb to tap the area where the upper thighs meet the lowest part of the abdomen. This area stimulates the pressure points of the spleen and stomach meridians, which is beneficial for the digestive and urinary systems. This movement is also done 36 times.

Tap Back of the Knees: 

Lastly, the back of the knees is tapped by bending the body forward slightly and tapping the area. This area stimulates the pressure points of the kidney and urinary bladder meridians and is beneficial for back pain, sciatica pain, and knee and heel pain. This movement is also done 36 times.
