Benefits of calf massage

Many people often experience soreness and cramps. This is due to not paying attention to physical exercise, coupled with some local meridian problems, which lead to cramps in the calves. There are many acupoints under our knees. As long as you massage and tap these acupoints regularly every day, it can not only help relieve fatigue and soreness in the calves, but also coordinate the strength of the legs well, and unblock the meridians, which can naturally avoid some complications.

The calf focuses on the spleen and stomach meridians, and massages the calf muscles

We can strengthen the spleen and stomach by moving our toes. After moving our toes, we can massage the calves upwards, which is also very good for the spleen and stomach.

There are many meridians and acupoints related to the spleen and stomach concentrated on the calf. For example, the Sanyinjiao point on the inner side of the calf is where the kidney meridian, spleen meridian, and liver meridian intersect. The stomach meridian and gallbladder meridian belonging to the three yang meridians of the foot are located on the outer side of the calf. There is the Zusanli point three inches below the knee on the outside, which can strengthen the spleen. Massaging and tapping these acupoints every day has the effect of maintaining health for the spleen and stomach.

In addition, the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian runs through the calf, so frequently massaging the calf will stimulate the acupoints where these meridians are located. Friends with poor spleen and stomach can persist in massaging to play a health-care role for the spleen and stomach. Pinching your calves can also help treat stomach pain.

When we have stomach pain, we can massage the inner side of the calf to stimulate the Taiyin spleen meridian of the foot, which can relieve stomach pain. When massaging, it is advisable to start from top to bottom, then from bottom to top and repeat this process. Depending on the severity of the stomach pain, the number of massages can be increased as appropriate. For acute stomach pain or stomach pain caused by gastritis, pinch the calf.

This method also works well.

Many female friends often have a yellow complexion. In fact, the yellow complexion is mostly related to the decline of spleen and stomach function. If the spleen and stomach are weak, the function of absorbing nutrients will be poor, and the complexion will naturally be bad. Some acupoints on the calf are related to the spleen and stomach meridians. Massage can help regulate the spleen and stomach functions, thereby improving the complexion.

Regular massage can regulate the spleen and stomach and replenish qi and blood. Especially after autumn, the climate is characterized by cool mornings and evenings and hot at noon. If you do not pay attention to keeping warm in the mornings and evenings, especially if your abdomen is not kept warm, it will easily lead to a recurrence of stomach problems. Moreover, when you inhale cold air in the morning and evening, the blood vessels in the body, such as those in the stomach, will contract due to the cold, which can easily lead to stomach problems. At this time, massaging the calf can also have a good therapeutic effect.

When massaging your calves, you should pay attention to kneading during the massage - the soreness feeling is strong and the analgesic effect is good. Don't be afraid of the soreness and don't use force. This method is more effective for acute stomach pain. This method is also effective when chronic stomach problems occur. However, when the stomach hurts severely, it is not advisable to pinch the calf to relieve the pain. Instead, you should seek medical attention in time to find out the situation.

Massaging your calf every day can regulate your spleen and stomach and help gastrointestinal motility.
