Everyone knows that the stomach governs digestion and digestion of food, and in Chinese medicine, the stomach is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, that is, the daily diet and nutrition are supplied by the stomach. Therefore, the stomach is very important. But when it comes to beauty, it's about face. Look pale, the skin is easy to relax, easy to grow acne, pale face, poor blood supply. It can be adjusted from stomach meridian.
Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow and the source of life.
Why do you say that? It doesn't matter if a person is sick. As long as he can eat, there is hope for recovery. But if one day I lose my appetite, I can't eat anything, or I don't want to eat at all, things will be much more difficult. When a person's stomach gas is absent and he can't eat anything, the source of nutrition is interrupted.
In our life, we have seen some girls who are slim and handsome, but eat little. Sometimes they are often depressed and can't sleep at night. A few criticisms can make them cry. In fact, as long as careful observation, 80% are spleen and stomach problems.
There are also some girls who eat very little and suddenly become surprisingly fat. What the hell is going on here? Chinese medicine says that thinking hurts the spleen. Spleen and stomach are in harmony, similar to what we often say. If the spleen is injured too much, it will be wet. Too much moisture will directly hinder the flow speed of blood and of course affect the stomach qi. So we can see that when some people are sad and angry, their stomachs will be uncomfortable, some people can't eat, and some people play hard to eat. These are all manifestations of disharmony between the spleen and stomach. After a long time, the function of the stomach will not be good. More seriously, it may lead to spleen-stomach imbalance or gastric ulcer, and more seriously, it may cause endocrine imbalance or gastric cancer.
According to Chinese medicine, the human body has the twelve meridians and Eight Strange Pulses, which circulate in the human body and maintain normal life activities. Acupuncture theory is developed on the basis of meridian theory. The twelve meridians is named for its leading function of viscera, and the stomach meridian is one of the twelve meridians, which is called "Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian". The stomach meridian is a very important meridian distributed in the front of the human body.
The Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming is a very important acupoint for digestive system such as gastrointestinal system, nervous system, respiratory system and circulatory system, as well as diseases such as throat, head, face, mouth, teeth and nose, and diseases in the parts along this meridian.
Foot Yangming stomach meridian starts from the head and passes through the neck, chest, abdomen, lower limbs and even toes. When there are obstacles in the digestive system, there will be symptoms such as fatigue, physical burnout and lack of vitality. The skin is dull and looks black and yellow.
Lips are prone to rupture, longitudinal wrinkles appear, and lips are prone to ulceration. The voice is weak and the pronunciation is vague. Lack of energy, indecision, unhappiness and constant distress make the burden on the digestive system heavier. Have a tendency to like sweets.
Besides, they prefer light food to greasy food. If you want to keep the same posture for a long time, you will be restless and unable to calm down. Because of the abnormal stomach meridian, I am often troubled by headache of unknown reasons, and there are symptoms such as anterior eye pain, stuffy nose, sore throat and abdominal distension. Foot weakness, paralysis.
When the above symptoms appear, please stimulate the acupoints located on the stomach meridian, and the symptoms will be obviously improved. The stomach meridian is a very long meridian with 45 main acupoints.
Several acupoints are very important. They are special acupoints on the whole stomach meridian, and good therapeutic effect can be achieved by using some very simple techniques.

In addition, for people with symptoms of mental disorder, Lidui point can soothe the nerves.
Massage technique: before going to bed every night, pinch the second toe, which will pinch Lidui point, then twist the toe belly, and finally pinch the toe belly with your nails. Pinch all 10 toes at the same time, which is especially good for sleeping. So you don't like to have nightmares at night, so you should have good dreams.

A considerable number of pregnant women will have edema of lower limbs in the third trimester. Mild edema is often more obvious in the afternoon and can disappear in the morning. This is a normal phenomenon. If it does not disappear in the morning, it is called "pregnancy edema". For pregnant women with edema of lower limbs, they can lie on their back or slightly lift their lower limbs, and then massage gently from the instep along the calf to the thigh, and the manipulations are alternately mixed with pressing, pressing, pushing, rubbing and gently rubbing. In the process of pressing, pushing and kneading, we should focus on sunken valley points.

The meat at Fenglong point is thick and hard. You can use a massage stick when rubbing it, or press it again with your index finger. Be patient when looking for acupoints. Click the test around the acupoints to get the most sensitive acupoints. When sputum can't be spit out, Fenglong point will become much more sensitive than usual.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that massaging Zusanli has the functions of regulating immunity, enhancing disease resistance, regulating spleen and stomach, invigorating middle energizer and activating collaterals, expelling wind and removing dampness, and strengthening body resistance and eliminating pathogens. There has always been a folk saying that "it is better to eat an old hen than to press Zusanli". Zusanli is one of the main acupoints of "Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian" and a big acupoint for strengthening the body.
A large number of practices in ancient and modern times have confirmed that Zusanli is an important acupoint that can prevent and treat many diseases and strengthen the body. Zusanli is an effective acupoint for anti-aging, and regular massage of this acupoint is of great benefit for anti-aging and prolonging life.
"Li San" refers to reason, reason and reason.
The stomach is located in the upper part of the abdomen. When you have abdominal distension and stomachache, you should "control" it, and push it up at the same time when you press Zusanli. If there is discomfort in the middle of the abdomen, you need to "hold it" and press it inward;
The lower abdomen is below the abdomen, and the pain in the lower abdomen should be pressed down while pressing Zusanli. This is the so-called "management".
Finally, because the main purpose of massage stomach meridian is to regulate gastrointestinal function.
Therefore, you can start massaging acupoints about one hour after meals, especially the key acupoints such as Zusanli and Shutian, and then moxibustion for a while about one hour before going to bed, and drink a small glass of water after moxibustion.
It is best to tap or massage along the stomach meridian at 7-9 every morning, which is the peak time of the stomach meridian.
