Massage like this every day, and you will be immune to diseases and cancer

Some friends who are enthusiastic about health knowledge often see information about abdominal massage, but many people say that they cannot fully understand it. In fact, abdominal massage is a health-preserving method that has existed in Chinese civilization for a long time. It is simple to operate and has no side effects. Let’s take a look at the benefits and corresponding methods of abdominal massage.

Why choose abdominal massage for health

When it comes to health preservation, it is nothing more than providing more health for everyone with the lowest possible investment. The fast pace of modern life has compressed the time that everyone can freely use, so health preservation must first give way to work and life. If it takes up too much time, it may cause a greater burden on the body, which is not conducive to long-term health.

Abdominal massage can meet this need because the location is clear - around the navel, the technique is simple - gently massage, and the time choice is relatively flexible - within 5 minutes. At the same time, we can also find support for this health-preserving method in traditional medicine.

The human body is covered with acupuncture points that can regulate one's physiological functions. In addition to stronger treatments such as acupuncture, gentler methods can also be used to maintain health in daily life. The Shenque point, which is the common belly button, seems inconspicuous, but it is as important as the Baihui, Yongquan and other acupoints. It even has a more prominent effect in treating certain diseases (such as gynecological diseases).

Shenque point is located on the Ren meridian, and is surrounded by other eight extraordinary meridians and internal organs meridians. It is one of the most important acupoints in the middle part of the body (there is also a saying that it corresponds to the front and back of Mingmen). It is like an important transit station for blood throughout the body - the body's nutrients need to be distributed in time, otherwise there will be deficiency and congestion.

In addition, both modern medicine and traditional medicine attach great importance to the importance of the gastrointestinal tract (or the spleen and stomach system) to physical health: for people who do not have problems such as intestinal obstruction, gentle massage of appropriate frequency can promote gastrointestinal motility and help digestion and absorption: Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the key to the entry and exit of Qi, and the liver and kidneys are inextricably linked to the abdomen through the meridians, so massaging the abdomen is important for the Qi of the whole body.

Adopting appropriate methods can not only enhance the above physiological functions, but also help solve some practical problems: Promoting gastrointestinal motility is not only needed by children in the growing period, the constipation problem that troubles many people can be solved - take some warm honey water and then massage the abdomen, which can have obvious effects in a short period of time. In addition to being able to eliminate more metabolic waste, the impact of massage on the triple burner meridian can also improve the state of food and water transportation and the circulation of water, which helps to lose weight (patients with puffiness should also pay attention to the maintenance of the spleen and kidneys).

Specific methods of abdominal massage in the morning and evening

Abdominal massage for health preservation requires patience and carefulness, which is also the most important part of all health preservation activities. When massaging your abdomen, cover as much area as possible, which will help mobilize the body's positive energy flow more quickly. When choosing the time, it should be avoided while eating to prevent vomiting or indigestion caused by inappropriate techniques.

First, use the thenar of your right hand (the part where the thumbs and palms of both hands are connected) to rub the epigastric area in a clockwise direction for 130 times, then move down to the area around the navel and rub it 120 times, then use the palm of your left hand to rub the entire abdomen 120 times, and finally repeat in the reverse direction. You can choose to massage your abdomen once before going to bed at night and before getting up in the morning. If you have the habit of taking a nap, you can also do it once before getting up from a nap. Many friends know that it is not advisable to get up immediately after sleeping. During this time, you can gently massage your abdomen: overlap your hands and massage in clockwise and counterclockwise directions for about 2 minutes each. After getting up, drink a glass of warm water to help the body reach a better state.

Situations where abdominal massage is prohibited

For most people, there are more stomach contents after a meal, and the remaining space in the abdominal cavity will also be reduced. At this time, massage will not only affect digestion and absorption, but also easily compress the internal organs and cause many problems. Therefore, it is not suitable to massage the abdomen after eating. For pregnant women, in addition to the general space-occupying problem, it may also stimulate the growth and development of the fetus in the womb, so it is not recommended.

It is not advisable to use abdominal massage to maintain health for diseases such as tumors or intestinal obstruction. This is because tumors can easily bleed or rupture due to external stimulation; and intestinal obstruction can cause colic due to accelerated intestinal peristalsis.

Abdominal massage is slow and gentle, and is not likely to cause additional harm to the body. It is a very good health treatment method. I hope it can bring a different experience to your health.
