Pushing the stomach can get rid of all diseases In traditional Chinese medicine, massage can treat many diseases. Pushing the abdomen is also a very good method of self-care. If you push for a long time, it can not only strengthen your body, but also drive away all diseases. Pushing the belly is simple and safe. First, relax your body, lie flat on the bed, put your hands flat on your chest, palms facing down, and slowly push down with fingertips against fingertips. Push forcefully and penetratingly from top to bottom, one by one, from the chest all the way to the outside of the belly button. Close your eyes and relax when pushing, push close to your skin, not through your clothes, and you can also push with both hands alternately. Push your stomach 300 times before getting up every day, and push your stomach 300 times before going to bed at night. If the soles of your feet feel hot and sweaty, and you yawn and shed tears when you push your abdomen, it means that your spleen and stomach are unblocked. Pushing the spleen and stomach can cure stomach problems and constipation that have lasted for many years, and can also treat cholecystitis, gallstones, kidney stones and many other diseases. Pushing the belly also has a certain effect on gynecological diseases. Don't stick to one method when pushing the belly. You can place the palm of one hand against your belly button and put the other hand on top of it, and gently press and rub in a clockwise direction like a spinning top, gradually and evenly drawing circles from the belly button to the entire abdomen, about 80 to 100 times, then go back to the belly button and massage 80 to 100 times. You can switch hands and massage again in the same way in a counterclockwise direction. Regardless of the technique used, do not have an empty stomach or a bloated stomach during the massage. Here is another massage method for the stomach and intestines. Place your hands together on the upper abdomen, rub in clockwise and counterclockwise directions 30-50 times each, with the area below the xiphoid process of the sternum as the center. Then use the same method to rub around the Shenjue point (i.e. the navel) 30-50 times each. In addition, massage the Zusanli point on both legs (3 inches below the outer side of the left kneecap, in the depression on the outer side of the tibia) 50-100 times. Twice a day, morning and evening. If you persist in massaging, your gastrointestinal tract will react, such as burping, bowel sounds, or anal gas discharge. These are all normal and good physiological reactions, and are the result of adapting to gastrointestinal stimulation. Self-massage is an auxiliary treatment method, so patients taking medication should not stop taking it. However, as gastric motility gradually increases, the dosage should be slowly reduced under the guidance of a doctor. Persist in abdominal massage to prevent the recurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. If you often suffer from insomnia, you can lie on your back on the bed before going to bed, put your thumbs together, and push down from your chest to your lower abdomen (one time). Repeat this 50-100 times, and you can push as many times as you want. |
