The stomach is interpreted in form, and the word is from field to meat. "Tian" refers to the land where grains are produced. "Meat" means meat. The combination of "field" and "meat" is the land where grains grow in the body, which shows that the stomach has been highly valued by people in ancient times. As we all know, the stomach is an important digestive organ in our body. All the food in our day has to be digested and decomposed by the stomach, so irregular eating habits and stress of life may cause stomach problems. So what massage can we use to relieve stomach problems?

1, massage Neiguan point

Neiguan point, located on the meridian line of Hand Jueyin, is one of the intersection points of eight veins. It's an analgesic point. Regular massage can relieve stress and fatigue, slow down the feeling of abdominal distension in the stomach, and improve symptoms such as stomachache, carsickness, chest pain, palpitation and insomnia. Regular massage of hands can greatly relieve stomach trouble.

2. Massage the three acupoints of the upper abdomen: Shangwan, Zhongwan and Xiawan.

These three acupoints have different effects on relieving gastrointestinal diseases, among which massage at Zhongwan point has a better therapeutic effect on stomach diseases. It is usually better to massage these points with acupoints. When massaging, lie flat and relax, and repeatedly press the acupoints with your fingers for 5 to 6 times, which can obviously relieve the pain of stomach diseases.

3. Massage Zusanli point

Zusanli, one of the main acupoints of "Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian", is located on the outside of the calf, 3 inches below the nose of the calf, and is one of the big acupoints for strengthening the body. Massage Zusanli can dredge meridians, dispel wind and remove dampness, tonify kidney and replenish essence. Massage this acupoint 5 to 10 times a day, which is helpful to produce gastric acid and relieve stomach trouble.

4, massage Tianshu point

Tianshu point belongs to the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming and is the recruitment point of the large intestine meridian of Hand Yangming. It is located in the abdomen, navel and the width of the left and right thumb. Massage Tianshu point can treat gastrointestinal diseases such as nausea, vomiting, stomachache, flatulence, constipation, diarrhea and dysentery. You can lie on your back in bed, press Tianshu point with three fingers and massage repeatedly for 3 to 5 minutes, which can relieve stomach diseases caused by intestinal dysfunction.

5. Massage four acupoints

Sifeng point is a strange point outside the meridian, located on the second to fifth metacarpal bones, in the center of the first and second horizontal stripes. It has the effects of treating infantile malnutrition, epigastric pain, abdominal pain, ascariasis, vomiting and enhancing immunity. Later, scientific research proved that this point is equally effective for adults, mainly used to treat stomach diseases caused by indigestion, and can be pressed with fingers.

As the saying goes, maintenance is more important than treatment. Only by massaging acupoints and subsequent treatment to maintain the stomach, the effect is far from good. As the saying goes, if you want to cure stomach trouble, you must first nourish your stomach, among which "what to eat and how to eat" is the key. Let's talk about how to use the problem of "eating" to relieve stomach problems.

For nourishing the stomach, there are three criteria for "eating", one is regular diet, the other is eating mild and non-irritating food, and the third is moderate diet, especially for patients with stomach diseases.

1, Noodles: Eat noodles to nourish the stomach. This is a sentence handed down by China since ancient times. Pasta is generally alkaline and easy to digest, but it will not make the stomach secrete too much gastric acid. Noodles and steamed bread are very digestible foods, which are better in the morning and evening, especially in the evening, which can avoid increasing the burden on the stomach and is good for patients with gastrointestinal diseases.

2, millet: Chinese medicine believes that this millet can cure nausea, heat dysentery, benefit Dantian, and make up for deficiency. For example, millet porridge has high nutritional content and is easy to digest. It is a very familiar food for nourishing the stomach, and it is also a food that patients with stomach diseases can often eat.

3. Yam: It has the effects of benefiting qi and nourishing yin, strengthening spleen and nourishing stomach, and being gentle and nourishing. The mucin contained in it can moisten the gastric mucosa, play a role in protecting the stomach, and also has a certain therapeutic effect on stomach diseases such as stomachache.

For patients with stomach diseases, there are foods such as milk, cabbage and pumpkin. Various foods are of great benefit to the treatment of stomach diseases, but remember not to eat more, so as not to aggravate stomach diseases.
