What acupoints on the hand can strengthen the stomach and promote digestion?
The Chinese New Year holiday is coming, and eating, drinking and having fun are definitely indispensable. Some people even prepared medicines for invigorating stomach and promoting digestion at home early. In fact, instead of taking medicine to protect the stomach, it is better to warm your hands before eating a big meal, because there are "stomach-strengthening drugs" on your hands. Laogong point is located in the palm. The simple way to find it is to hold a fist in your hand, and the point at the tip of the middle finger is Laogong point. This point belongs to fire in the five elements, which can promote blood circulation, improve mental stress and stimulate appetite. Daling point belongs to five elements, corresponding to the spleen and stomach. It is a classic "Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablet" on the pericardium meridian, which can reduce fire, remove heart fire and enhance gastric motility. Disharmony between spleen and stomach and indigestion can be adjusted through this acupoint. It is located in the middle of the palm root and wrist transverse stripes. Neiguan point measures three horizontal fingers upward at Daling point, in the middle of the two tendons of the wrist. There is a set of little tricks to stimulate these three acupoints, which are called "fist rubbing, hand rubbing and wrist buckling". Before eating a big meal, you can rub your fists first, that is, make a fist with one hand, and press the fist surface with the other hand against Neiguan point, and rotate it left and right to stimulate this point. Then the palms of both hands rub against each other until they get hot. This action is to stimulate the Laogong point of the palm. Finally, fingers crossed and wrists locked, thus stimulating Daling point. As soon as these three acupoints are heated, the function of pericardium meridian will be improved, and the heart fire will rise to the stomach soil for a long time, so that a good appetite will come and the digestive function will be enhanced. What are you waiting for? Raise your chopsticks quickly and enjoy the holiday dinner with your family.
