In addition, Chinese medicine often says: "Thinking hurts the spleen." It shows that long-term thinking about something has affected the function of the spleen. Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is responsible for digesting Shui Gu, making it delicate and transporting it to all parts of the body. If the function of the spleen declines, food stays in the stomach and loses the desire to eat.
Generally speaking, there are two reasons for loss of appetite: one is physical fatigue, coupled with overeating, digestive function is reduced; Secondly, mental reasons such as stress, sadness and anger have caused obstacles to the digestive system. With the development of society, the pressure of modern people is increasing, and there are more and more cases of anorexia.
Treatment 1. Foot acupoint therapy for anorexia should be effective by selecting different acupoints for stimulation according to its psychological or physiological reasons. For physiological loss of appetite, we should choose the acupoints of the stomach meridian, with "Neidui" and "Zusanli" playing the most prominent role. If mental factors lead to loss of appetite, the "pericardial area" in the center of the sole is the most effective.
But people over the age of 30 are suitable for moxibustion treatment of Zusanli; Acupuncture is ok for young people, but moxibustion is not suitable. As for children, it is best not to stimulate this, so as not to hinder their growth.
If you want to quickly eliminate discomfort such as bloating, you can stimulate it with your hair, and be careful not to stimulate it too hard, so as not to have the opposite effect. The "pericardial area" should be pushed or rubbed to make it feel warm near the acupoints. Warming this part with a hair dryer has the same effect.
2. Foot reflex zone therapy can gently press the stomach, duodenum, celiac plexus, spleen and brain reflex zone, adjust the function of digestive system and enhance appetite.
Some patients feel heartburn immediately after meals, some patients feel heartburn two or three hours after meals, and some patients feel heartburn on an empty stomach. The chest and upper abdomen are muffled one after another, like the feeling of being burned or cauterized, that is, the feeling of "heartburn".
The root cause of heartburn is excessive gastric acid secretion, which flows back to the esophagus, causing pain and burning around the esophagus, or it is caused by mucosal allergy in the lower part of the esophagus.
It is easy to cause heartburn after suffering from gastritis and duodenal ulcer. Insufficient gastric acid secretion, weakened gastric peristalsis, and food staying in the stomach can easily lead to heartburn. In addition, when the mental stress is too great, or there is a strong sense of despair, it will also cause heartburn symptoms.
Whatever the reason, the uncomfortable feeling is exactly the same. If we can stimulate the corresponding parts and regulate gastric acid secretion at this time, we can eliminate this discomfort.
Treatment 1. Foot acupoint therapy.
The causes of heartburn are different, and the selection of points for treatment is different. One or two hours after a meal, or heartburn on an empty stomach, belongs to hyperacidity, and the special acupoint for treatment is "the third Li dui"
On the contrary, heartburn caused by insufficient gastric acid secretion usually occurs after satiety. The special point for treatment is Zusanli. Press hard with your fingers and you will soon feel comfortable.
2. Foot reflex zone therapy.
You can often massage the celiac plexus, stomach, kidney and esophagus (the esophageal reflex zone is located at the first metatarsophalangeal joint of the sole of the foot, which is a band-shaped area), enhance the body's self-defense function and regulate gastric acid secretion.
Peptic ulcer Peptic ulcer mainly refers to the chronic ulcer of the stomach and duodenal bulb, and its formation is related to the digestion of gastric acid and pepsin, so it is called peptic ulcer.
Peptic ulcer is a common digestive tract disease, which is distributed all over the world, and about 10% people suffer from it. Its attack is seasonal, and the turn of autumn and winter and winter and spring is more common than summer.
The etiology of this disease is not completely clear, and the more certain diseases are due to Helicobacter pylori infection, taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and hypersecretion of gastric acid. Other pathogenic factors are: genetic quality, stress and psychological factors, smoking and so on.
The adverse effects of smoking are not completely clear, but it is clear that nicotine in tobacco leaves can slightly damage gastric mucosa, and long-term smoking can increase parietal cell proliferation and gastric acid secretion, thus aggravating the condition of ulcer disease. Abdominal pain above peptic ulcer is the main symptom, which can be dull pain, burning pain, swelling pain and severe pain, but it can also be manifested as hunger-like discomfort. Typical patients have mild or moderate persistent pain under xiphoid process, which can be relieved by antacids or eating. Some cases do not have the above-mentioned typical pain, but only show irregular and vague upper abdominal pain and discomfort, accompanied by symptoms such as fullness, anorexia, fever and pantothenic acid.
The pain of gastric ulcer often appears in the upper middle abdomen or lower xiphoid process to the left, often within 1 hour after meals, and gradually relieves after 1 ~ 2 hours until the above rhythm appears after the next meal. The pain of duodenal ulcer mostly occurs in the middle and upper abdomen, or above the umbilicus, mostly between meals, and continues unabated until the next meal is relieved after eating or taking acidic drugs.
Treatment 1. Foot acupoint therapy.
Lidui and Zusanli are special acupoints for treating digestive tract ulcer. Because both are closely related to the digestive function of the stomach. In addition, many gastric ulcers are caused by mental stress. Therefore, stomach disease can also be called emotional disease, and the treatment should choose "the third power".
2. Foot reflex zone therapy.
It can massage the stomach, duodenum, celiac plexus, spleen and upper body lymph gland reflex area. In addition, when choosing the reflex zone, the brain reflex zone is also necessary, because it can ease the mood and is conducive to the rehabilitation of the disease.
But for the most important prevention and treatment of digestive tract ulcers, it is still necessary to develop regular and stable daily habits.
Chronic pancreatitis Chronic pancreatitis refers to the pathological process of chronic progressive inflammation, destruction and fibrosis of pancreatic cells and pancreatic duct, often accompanied by calcification, pseudocyst and islet cell reduction or atrophy.
This disease is more common in people over 40 years old, with more men than women. The course of the disease often lasts for more than several years or more than ten years, showing that the asymptomatic period and the attack period with different symptoms appear alternately, and the attack frequency is different, and it may also develop into pancreatic insufficiency without obvious symptoms.
At the beginning of the disease, only upper abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite and paroxysmal abdominal pain were seen. Abdominal pain is mostly located in the middle of the upper abdomen or on the left side of the upper abdomen, which can radiate to the back, flank and chest. Abdominal pain is mostly caused by drinking, satiety or high-fat diet. Pain is related to the change of posture, and it is aggravated when lying flat. It can be relieved when you sit forward or bend over, or roll your legs sideways, often accompanied by fever.
Massage the reflex areas of spleen, liver, kidney, pancreas, ureter, bladder, duodenum, upper body and lower body lymph glands. Stimulate the reflex zone with tolerable pain.
In the treatment of chronic pancreatitis, we must absolutely abstain from alcohol and avoid satiety and high-fat meals. It is particularly important to note that acute pancreatitis must be sent to hospital for treatment, so as not to endanger life.
Nausea refers to the strong feeling of vomiting, which is caused by the stimulation of vomiting center. The causes are food poisoning, cerebral hemorrhage, digestive system diseases, uremia, eye fatigue, and even various pressures, which are numerous and complicated. But usually overeating and food poisoning are more common.
If it is suspected that it is caused by food poisoning, let the patient chew raw soybeans. If it is spit out immediately, the possibility of food poisoning can be basically ruled out. Because people with food poisoning can't feel the taste of raw soybeans and won't vomit on the spot.
Treatment 1. Foot acupoint therapy.
For indigestion or nausea and stomach discomfort caused by various pressures, "Erlidui" can be selected as the main acupoint for treatment. In addition, the "second largest point", "inner chamber" and "Zusanli" are also important points to eliminate nausea.
If it is nausea caused by indigestion, you can stimulate the "second strength" with a hairpin. If you want to vomit because of chronic gastrointestinal diseases, it is better to use cigarette moxibustion. Pregnant women's unique nausea and vomiting, if it seriously interferes with normal diet, can use cigarette moxibustion "second strength"
2. Foot reflex zone therapy.
Regular massage of spleen, stomach, celiac plexus, liver and duodenal reflex zone can achieve good results.
However, it should be reminded that once food poisoning occurs, patients must not be prevented from vomiting. We should try to help patients spit out the contents of their stomachs and send them to the hospital for treatment immediately.
Hemorrhoids Hemorrhoids are venous masses formed by poor blood circulation and varicose veins near the anus. When hemorrhoid patients defecate forcibly, abdominal pressure rises, causing microvascular rupture, which leads to hemorrhoid bleeding.
Hemorrhoids can be divided into internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids and mixed hemorrhoids, among which patients with external hemorrhoids account for the vast majority. The formation of hemorrhoids has a great relationship with personal living habits, such as excessive drinking, spicy food, sedentary lack of exercise, long-term constipation or diarrhea, etc., which can easily lead to hemorrhoids.
If the symptoms are mild, the blood stasis will disappear after rest, even if it is slightly red and swollen, it will not interfere with life and work, so it is easy to be ignored by patients. However, if it is often ignored, so that the symptoms gradually worsen, it will lead to anemia due to bleeding caused by defecation every time, and cause severe pain, which makes people fidget. Therefore, if it is found, it must be cured in time to avoid unnecessary pain.
Treatment 1. Foot acupoint therapy.
The key to treating hemorrhoids is to promote blood circulation. Therefore, "Golden Gate" and "Foot Copper Drum" have become the most important acupoints, and moxibustion is needed. The treatment is mainly on the affected side, supplemented by the other side.
2. Foot reflex zone therapy.
Regular massage of anus, rectum, sacrum, kidney, ureter, bladder and lymph gland reflex area of upper and lower body can effectively promote blood circulation and have a good preventive and therapeutic effect on hemorrhoids.
There is no doubt that the best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to promote blood circulation near the anus. In addition to moxibustion massage, it is also essential to do more anal contraction exercise.
Constipation Constipation refers to a symptom of constipation, prolonged defecation time, or difficulty in defecation. It can cause abdominal fullness, even abdominal pain, loss of appetite, dizziness, headache and restless sleep. Long-term constipation can also cause hemorrhoids, bloody stool, anal fissure and so on.
Constipation is mostly caused by insufficient defecation motivation (such as weakness of diaphragm and abdominal muscles), insufficient intestinal stimulation (mainly insufficient mechanical or chemical stimulation of food on large intestine and rectum), and weakened stress ability of intestinal mucosa (all pathological changes of intestinal mucosa, such as dysentery).
Delayed constipation is most common in the elderly because of low intestinal tension and reduced peristalsis. In this case, the feces are thick and hard, and it takes a lot of effort to defecate, so it will lead to hemorrhoids bleeding.
Spastic constipation, using or increasing laxatives may not obviously improve constipation, but it will lead to abdominal distension, abdominal pain and hyperactivity of bowel sounds. At this time, due to the increase of intestinal tension and spasmodic contraction, the feces in rabbit feces are small and hard. Therefore, laxatives should be used together with anticholinergic drugs that inhibit intestinal motility.
If the constipation effect is not obvious after treatment, and it is getting worse, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination. In the absence of organic diseases, foot massage can obtain better curative effect.
1. Foot acupoint therapy.
The spleen meridian, stomach meridian and bladder meridian are the most closely related to constipation. The most important therapeutic point is the end and starting point of the three meridians of toes. Among them, "Bai Yin", "Li Dui" and "Yin Zhi" are very important acupoints. In addition, the "Sanyinjiao point" with three horizontal fingers on the medial malleolus is a special point for treating constipation.
Usually it is mild. As long as you press the acupoints with your fingers, the symptoms can be alleviated. If it is habitual constipation without defecation for a few days, cigarette moxibustion can definitely improve it. But acupoint stimulation should be done before breakfast (around 6-8 am). Because the peristalsis of the large intestine is the most active during this time, the effect is more obvious.
In addition, if you have the habit of going to the toilet after breakfast, you can lift your feet first, then put them down, and then stimulate acupuncture points with your fingers after repeated times, which can get twice the result with half the effort.
2. Foot reflex zone therapy.
Massage rectum, anus, ascending colon, transverse colon and descending colon reflex zone can achieve satisfactory results. If you add the health care method of stepping on pebbles, the effect of preventing constipation will be more.
In addition, it is particularly important to eat more fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits, drink cold water or cold milk before breakfast, maintain mental comfort, and develop the habit of defecating regularly every morning.
Diarrhea, diarrhea, frequent defecation, diarrhea, thin stool or watery stool, more common in summer and autumn. Include acute and chronic enteritis, intestinal tuberculosis, gastrointestinal nerve dysfunction and colitis. It is caused by bacterial infection and gastrointestinal dysfunction.
In recent years, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic diarrhea caused by stress, which is more common in young people and middle-aged people who are active.
Treatment 1. Foot acupoint therapy.
Yin Zhi point, located outside the little toe, has a good effect on diarrhea, so it is necessary to strengthen the massage of this point.
2. Foot reflex zone therapy.
Patients with diarrhea, often rubbing the stomach and duodenal reflex area, can regulate gastrointestinal function. In addition, spleen, liver, anus, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and urinary reflex zone are also important, but do not massage rectal reflex zone.
It should be noted that if diarrhea is caused by bacteria or diseases, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible. For unexplained physiological, nervous and chronic diarrhea, foot massage can produce effects.
Liver disease The liver is the strongest organ in the human body. Its main function is not only to process and accumulate nutrients, but also to decompose toxins in the body, toxins invading the body and metabolic wastes. The liver is an important line of defense to protect health. Once injured, it will produce major lesions and have a great impact on other organs.
Although there are many kinds of liver diseases, such as fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and so on. Among them, hepatitis is the most realistic headache for modern people, and even a major social problem. Because it not only has a high mortality rate, but also the speed and scope of infection are amazing, which makes people hard to prevent.
Generally speaking, hepatitis can be divided into acute hepatitis and chronic hepatitis. Symptoms include fever and loss of appetite, similar to a cold. They all have special symptoms such as fatigue and fatigue. If it is not treated quickly, it may have serious consequences.
So far, western medicine has not found a specific medicine for treating liver disease, so it is impossible to completely control the disease. Using foot massage therapy, as long as you have patience and pay attention to your diet and daily life, the effect will be very prominent.
1. Foot acupoint therapy.
Whether it is hepatitis or other liver diseases, the focus of treatment is the acupoints on the liver meridian starting from the big toe side. Among them, "Taichong" is the main one. In addition to Taichong point, "Interrow" and "Dadun" are all special-effect points that have great influence on the liver. When operating, you can use hairpins or toothpicks to stimulate the above points. Hepatitis caused by cirrhosis and alcoholism is treated with cigarettes or moxa stick moxibustion.
2. Foot reflex zone therapy.
Besides the hepatobiliary reflex zone, lymph glands and duodenal reflex zone are also very important when massaging the foot reflex zone. People with poor liver should feel pain when pressing these parts. In addition, don't forget the urinary system when doing foot massage treatment. After foot massage stimulation, the color and smell of urine become thicker, which is a sign before improvement. Don't worry.
Chronic cholecystitis Chronic cholecystitis often occurs because of gallstones. About 70% patients with recurrent cholecystitis have gallstones. Because of infection, inflammation recurred, inflammatory cells infiltrated the gallbladder wall, destroyed the normal structure of the gallbladder, led to fibrous tissue proliferation, scar formation, and completely lost the function of concentrating and discharging bile.
The prevalence of this disease is higher in women than in men, especially in middle-aged and obese people. Clinical symptoms are often atypical and can last for many years without symptoms, but most patients have a history of biliary colic in the past, mainly manifested as recurrent epigastric pain, which often occurs at night and persists after a full meal, accompanied by greasy food, abdominal distension, fever and other digestive tract symptoms. And sometimes there is a dull pain in the ribs and back in the right season.
Treatment 1. Foot acupoint therapy.
Massage acupoints such as foot lines, Taichong, foot regulating qi, foot qiao yin, etc.
2. Foot reflex zone therapy.
Massage the liver, gallbladder, celiac plexus, kidney, ureter, bladder, stomach, duodenum and lymph gland reflex area. The gallbladder reflex zone and the liver reflex zone are the focus of massage, and the gastrointestinal reflex zone and the kidney reflex zone are also related reflex zones.
In addition, the patient's diet should be light to avoid greasy and thick taste and induce cholecystitis.
