If you want to avoid indigestion, you must clearly know the causes of indigestion, so that you can take preventive measures as soon as possible to avoid indigestion.
1, spleen and stomach weakness, manifested as not thinking about diet, loving rubbing, shortness of breath, fatigue and laziness.
2, food stagnation type, manifested as not being able to press, pressing will aggravate the symptoms of discomfort, nausea, and rancid smell after snoring.
3, emotional stagnation, generally manifested as upset, fidgety, and bloating on both sides.
According to the above situation, judge your own situation, and then make targeted treatment and improvement. When we regulate the spleen and stomach, we should pay attention to the following four aspects:
1. Massage the stomach clockwise: When flatulence occurs in the stomach, it is recommended to gently massage the navel clockwise around the navel. Repeated operation can accelerate the abdominal blood circulation, promote the contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscle, enhance intestinal peristalsis, and make the gas in the stomach pass through the intestine and be discharged from the anus. This method can not only effectively eliminate flatulence, but also improve constipation.
2, regular diet, chew slowly: No matter which method is used to regulate the spleen and stomach, "regular diet, chew slowly" is definitely the first and the first choice. Especially those with weak spleen and stomach, try to control not to eat or eat less spicy and irritating food and raw and cold food. At the same time, we should pay attention to the regular and quantitative diet, and eat less and more meals if possible. Chew slowly when eating, and avoid standing or eating while walking; Talk as little as possible when eating, so as not to disturb your appetite and reduce your diet.
3, hot compress: towel hot compress can accelerate the blood circulation of the abdomen, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and discharge gas.
4. Develop the habit of taking a walk after meals: The ancients had the health concept of "nourishing the spleen when moving". Because in the spleen and stomach of middle jiao, the temper is mainly ascending, and the stomach gas is mainly descending, so it is helpful to move the temper properly after meals. Generally, after a meal 15 minutes, you can walk slowly, which is very helpful for the spleen and stomach problems with indigestion.
Health care method for regulating spleen and stomach massage
The first method: massage the leaky valley point.
Gu Lou point has the effects of invigorating spleen and stomach, promoting diuresis and removing dampness. Can be used for treating abdominal distension, bowel sounds, urinary tract infection, paralysis of lower limbs, abdominal fever, heartburn, abdominal distension, dysuria, nocturnal emission, dizziness, and swelling and pain of feet and ankles.
Acupoint selection: the leaky valley point is located on the inner side of the calf. When choosing acupoints, we can touch the medial malleolus first. The bone tip protruding from the ankle is the medial malleolus tip, which is 6 inches upward along the medial malleolus tip (that is, the distance of 8 horizontal fingers), which is the location of the valley leakage point in the depression of the posterior edge of the internal bone of the calf.
Methods: Acupoint pressing can be used to stimulate Leaky Valley Point: Press Leaky Valley Point with thumb pulp, and it is better to feel sore locally. Press hard and deeply gradually, hold for 6 seconds, then release, rest for 6 seconds, and then press deeply, with one press and one release as a cycle. Generally press 5 to 10 minutes.
The second method: the habit of rubbing the abdomen.
According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, there are two important acupoints in the abdomen, Zhongwan and Qihai. They are more active in "evacuating" the spleen and stomach. Therefore, it is not necessary to pay special attention to the accuracy of acupoints when you insist on rubbing your abdomen. We can do it before going to bed, from the middle of the cup (as the saying goes) down to the navel, and then slowly massage around the navel. This method is more useful for "abdominal distension and indigestion", because abdominal distension is nothing more than "waste water, waste gas and waste". This massage can help gastrointestinal peristalsis and promote the excretion of these "wastes".
