Massage to regulate the spleen and stomach

Massage is a field of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the acupoints in various parts of the body are the essence of massage. People can achieve the purpose of regulating the body by massaging the acupoints. This requires us to understand which acupoints are good for the body. Regulating the spleen and stomach has always been a difficult problem. In fact, as long as the massage technique is used, the purpose of regulating the spleen and stomach can be achieved.

1. Massage acupoints

The first is Zhongwan acupoint. Zhongwan point is a very important acupuncture point in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. It is located in the center of the line connecting the lower end of the sternum and the navel, approximately one palm above the navel. When doing acupressure, lie on your back, relax your muscles, exhale slowly, and press down firmly with your fingers. Remove your hands after 6 seconds. Repeat 10 times and this will make your stomach feel comfortable. When you have stomach pain, the Zhongwan acupressure method is more effective.

The second is Tianshu point. This point is located two thumb widths to the left and right of the navel. The patient can lie flat on the bed, press down with the middle three fingers, and massage this area for about 2 minutes. The main diseases and symptoms treated by Tianshu point include indigestion, nausea and vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.

The last point is Zusanli. The Zusanli point is located four finger widths below the outer kneecap and on the edge of the tibia. Press for 6 seconds and then remove your hands, repeat 10 times. This can promote the secretion of gastric acid, make the stomach feel comfortable, and also have a pain-relieving effect.

2. Abdominal massage

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human abdomen is the "palace of the internal organs and the source of yin and yang, qi and blood." Abdominal massage can harmonize the upper and lower parts, regulate yin and yang, remove the old and create the new, replenish the five internal organs, drive away external evils, and clear up all internal diseases. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine records: "Massaging the abdomen is a secret to health preservation." Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote: "Massaging the abdomen regularly can cure all diseases."

The method is: choose to do it before going to bed and getting up at night, empty your bladder, wash your hands, lie on your back, bend your knees slightly, and relax your whole body. Place your left hand on your abdomen with your palm facing your navel. Place your right hand on top of your left hand. First, rub your abdomen 50 times in a clockwise direction around your navel, and then rub it 50 times in a counterclockwise direction. When massaging, use moderate force, concentrate your mind, breathe naturally, and persist. You will definitely get obvious fitness results.

The above is a relatively comprehensive massage technique for regulating the spleen and stomach. When massaging, you should pay attention to the location of the acupoints and the strength of the massage. There is no need to massage for a long time. As long as the strength is enough and the position is correct, you will achieve the desired effect. In addition to using massage methods, you should also pay attention to your eating habits and avoid eating raw, cold, and irritating foods.
