For example, abdominal massage, if you have never done massage people, the beginning to seriously Mo one or two hundred times or very tired. Therefore, the beginning of the force can be smaller, the number of times less, and then gradually increase. In addition, massage after a period of time, the effect of tonic may not be obvious, or the beginning of the effect is obvious, and later is not very obvious, so some people will lose confidence, which is not desirable. In fact, massage tonic and dietary supplements and other tonic methods, some can be immediate results, some need a considerable amount of time.
