The difference between clockwise and counterclockwise abdominal massage lies in: the experience massage should be clockwise; Deficiency syndrome should be massaged counterclockwise.

Chinese medicine believes that different massage directions have different effects. For yellow tongue coating, thick tongue, halitosis, constipation and other symptoms, you should massage the abdomen clockwise, along the direction of colon, through massage stimulation, increase colon peristalsis, make feces reach the rectum, stimulate nerve conduction in the intestinal wall, and produce defecation.

On the other hand, deficiency syndrome, light tongue and thin tongue coating are prone to diarrhea, so it is necessary to massage the abdomen counterclockwise and against the colon, which can play a nourishing role and prevent diarrhea.
