2.1. Relieve stomach pain caused by stomach cold

1 If you have abdominal discomfort caused by stomach cold and stomach pain, you can use hot compress therapy. Poke holes in thin ginger slices, stick them around the navel and the painful area, and then cover them with a hot towel. This can assist in treating stomach pain. The hot towel and moisture can quickly open the skin and blood vessels, allowing heat and ginger to penetrate, thereby warming the meridians, dispelling cold, and relieving pain or spasm.

2.2. Improve blood stasis type dysmenorrhea

Boil two Chinese medicines, Chuanxiong and Danpi, into juice. Use two large pieces of ginger to pierce small holes. Apply one piece to the navel and Qihai acupoint, and one piece to Guanyuan acupoint. Soak a towel in the boiled juice and wait until it is slightly dry. When the temperature is appropriate (not too hot), place it flat on the lower abdomen. You can also spread the residue on the towel and apply it again after it cools down. Apply 1-2 times a day. It can be continued until the fourth day after the menstruation. It can effectively improve dysmenorrhea.

2.3. Regulate cold-sensitive and cold-stomach constitution

Heat the salt in a pan, and when the temperature drops to a level that the skin can bear, pile it around the navel for dry hot compress. First, put a thin layer of ginger paste on the navel, then pile the heated salt, and finally cover with a hot towel. If you persist in this way for a long time, it can improve cold limbs, stomach coldness and fear of cold, and it also has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on pain around the navel, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
