What acupoints should I press for stomach discomfort?

When eating, do not eat food that is too raw or cold or has strong irritation, because these foods will cause stomach discomfort. The stomach is an important digestive organ in the human gastrointestinal system. If it feels uncomfortable, it will not only cause pain symptoms to the body, but also cause other discomforts. When you feel stomach discomfort, which acupuncture points on your body can be pressed to relieve it?

What acupoints should I massage for a bad stomach?

Tianshu Point

Massage can nourish the stomach. The second way is to massage the 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 and press down and massage this area with the middle three fingers for about 2 minutes.

The main diseases treated by Tianshu point include indigestion, nausea and vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.

Neiguan Point

Turn your palm upward, with your wrist about three horizontal fingers (about 2 inches) away from your elbow, between the two bones and two tendons. If you feel bloated or as if food is stuck in your chest and cannot reach your stomach, press this point to regulate your Qi flow.

When doing acupoint massage, the strength is also important. If it is too light, it will not reach the acupoint and will not be effective. If it is too heavy, it will make people uncomfortable. Therefore, you need to slowly experience this force yourself. You will know it after pressing it a few times.

Four seam holes

Sifeng is an extra meridian point, a special point for eliminating food stagnation and removing stagnation. The Four Seams were originally used by doctors to treat children's digestive problems. Later, it was confirmed that the Four Seams were also very effective for adults.

So if you are worried that the drug may be addictive or cause some harm to the human body, then it is recommended that you massage the Sifeng point when you feel indigestion.

Zhongwan Point

Massage can nourish the stomach. Start by massaging the 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 while pressing down hard with your fingers, remove your hands after 6 seconds, and repeat 10 times. This will make your stomach feel comfortable. When you have stomach pain, the Zhongwan acupressure method is more effective.

Daling Point

This acupoint belongs to the earth element in the five elements and corresponds to the spleen and stomach. It is a very classic "stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablet". It is located at the base of the palm, at the midpoint of the transverse wrist line. It can reduce stomach fire, eliminate heart fire, and improve gastric motility.

You can press it when your stomach feels uncomfortable, especially for those friends who suffer from indigestion and feel that food is bloating in the stomach and refuses to be absorbed. Massaging the Daling point is the most effective.

Summary: If you feel stomach discomfort or pain, you might as well try the above method of acupoint massage. Gastric disease is a multi-causal disease, such as genetics, environment, diet, drugs, bacteria, smoking, excessive drinking, etc. can cause stomach disease. The above factors can lead to excessive secretion of gastric acid and damage the stomach. If the situation is serious, please go to the hospital immediately for relevant examinations.
