Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the gastrointestinal tract is smooth when it is harmonious, and it is not smooth when it is lost. Diet stagnation in the intestines and qi stagnation will lead to frequent abdominal pain, foul-smelling diarrhea or constipation.

"Su Wenpu Dao Tong Lun" said, "Cold is between the stomach and intestines, but under the membrane, the blood cannot be dispersed. Xiao Luo is in acute pain, and the technique leads to blood and gas dispersion, so it is used to relieve pain. "

In modern medicine, the peristalsis function of intestine is roughly carried out in the above direction. If the intestinal function is prolonged or forced to retrograde, it will cause diseases such as intestinal dysfunction. Therefore, if you want to make the gastrointestinal tract harmonious and healthy, you must press it.
