Is moxibustion effective in treating stomach problems?

Modern society is a society that emphasizes health and wellness, so if you want to achieve this goal, you must first take good care of your stomach. Because the human body's nutrition comes from food. If you don't have a good stomach, no matter how much you eat, you won't be able to absorb the nutrition because of poor digestion. If the stomach and intestines are in a healthy state, the human body will also be quite healthy. So, is moxibustion effective in treating stomach problems?

① Shang, Zhong and Xiawan acupoints: “Three Musketeers to Protect the Stomach”!

To nourish the spleen and treat stomach problems, you can moxibustion the Shangwan, Zhongwan and Xiawan acupoints. They are called the "Three Musketeers of Stomach Protection". Among these three acupoints, Zhongwan acupoint is the most important and most commonly used. It can be said that it is a must-moxibustion acupoint for nourishing the spleen and treating stomach problems and stomachaches!

In the abdomen, there are three acupoints 5 inches, 4 inches and 2 inches above the navel, called Shangwan, Zhongwan and Xiawan respectively.

However, moxibustion on Zhongwan alone is often not enough to quickly relieve stomach pain. Therefore, when the stomach pain is unbearable, we might as well add Neiguan and Zusanli points. Moxibustion on these three points at the same time is often faster for relieving stomach pain because they have the effects of soothing the liver and regulating qi, warming the stomach and dispersing cold, regulating spleen qi, and strengthening the middle and intestines, which can often help you relieve stomach pain quickly.

② Zusanli: A star acupoint for regulating the spleen and stomach!

Zusanli can be regarded as one of the most dazzling "stars" among the acupuncture points in the human body. Whether it is an expert or an entry-level moxibustion enthusiast, everyone knows its "great name". As the saying goes, "Man is iron and rice is steel", which is consistent with what Chinese medicine often says, "The spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired constitution." Without the digestive ability of the gastrointestinal tract, grains cannot be converted into qi and blood in the human body, and there is no way to strengthen the body.

There is a saying among the people that "regularly moxibustioning the Zusanli acupoint is better than eating old hens." Regularly massaging or moxibustioning this point is very beneficial to health care.

③Neiguan acupoint is a great acupoint for relieving pain!

Neiguan was first seen in Huangdi Neijing Lingshu Jingmaipian, and is a collateral point of the hand Jueyin pericardium meridian. It is believed to be beneficial in calming the mind, soothing the stomach and relieving reflux, widening the chest and regulating qi, and calming and relieving pain.

I believe everyone is familiar with Neiguan acupoint, which is a major acupoint for relieving pain. Regular massage of this health-preserving acupoint can calm the mind, relax the chest and regulate qi, clear the lungs and relieve asthma, relieve acute and acute pain, regulate yin and yang, qi and blood, and dredge the meridians.

Therefore, if you want to be healthy, you must first take good care of your stomach. If you have a bad stomach, even if you eat a lot of nutritious food, it will be useless if you cannot digest it. Therefore, everyone must take good care of their stomach in daily life.
