Rubbing the stomach is actually abdominal massage, and the direction is not generalized. You also need to choose clockwise or counterclockwise according to specific reasons. Because the right side of the human body is the ascending colon, then the transverse colon and then the descending colon, and the left side is the S-shaped colon, rectum and anus. Therefore, according to this anatomical structure of the human body, the effect of rubbing the abdomen clockwise and counterclockwise is completely different.

Generally speaking, people with constipation suggest rubbing their stomachs clockwise. For obese users who need to lose weight, you can choose to alternate clockwise and counterclockwise. They can rub their stomachs clockwise first, and then counterclockwise.

Precautions for rubbing your stomach

It should be noted that it is best to empty urine before rubbing your stomach. In the process of rubbing the stomach, because it can strengthen the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, it is recommended to rub it by hand first, and then move clockwise or counterclockwise around the navel.

It should be noted that it is best to choose supine position when rubbing your stomach. You can rub it clockwise or counterclockwise for 5- 10 minutes each time, and you can also rub it after meals to help digestion and absorption. When standing, such as waiting in line and waiting for a bus, you can also use some fragmented time to gently rub your stomach clockwise or counterclockwise, which will also play a role in losing weight.
