Which part should be massaged for defecation

Many people have been troubled by the symptom of constipation. Since everyone's body is different, the symptoms of constipation will also be different, but most people will experience difficulty in defecation, abdominal distension, nausea or loss of appetite when they are constipated. When constipation occurs, you can relieve the symptoms by massaging some acupoints on the body, and eat more foods that help with constipation.

Abdominal massage laxative method

Method: Stand up, relax your whole body, and press the thumbs of both hands on both sides of the lower abdomen (equivalent to the intersection of the ascending colon, descending colon and the anterior superior iliac spine). The force should be tolerable and not too strong. However, if the force is too light, the pressing effect cannot be achieved. At the same time, coordinate with breathing regulation, that is, after positioning and pressing, take a deep breath, try to lower the diaphragm, bulge the abdomen, and hold your breath to the degree you can tolerate, then exhale slowly, and repeat. Note that the pressing should not be stopped during breathing, and you should think about defecation when inhaling. Practice for 10-15 minutes in the morning. Effect: This massage method has the effect of regulating the internal organs and facilitating bowel movements. Anyone with constipation can practice this massage method. People with habitual constipation can practice this massage method to induce the urge to defecate, and normal bowel movements can be restored over time.

Press the laxative point

Method: The Tongbian point is located 3 inches away from the navel on the abdomen, one on each side. When you need to defecate, relax your whole body, press the left Tongbian point with the middle finger of your left hand, and press the right Tongbian point with the middle finger of your right hand. Apply a little force, within your tolerance. You will feel the urge to defecate and defecate in about 1-3 minutes. Function: The main function is to induce the urge to defecate and shorten the defecation time.

Press Yingxiang acupoint

Point location: 0.5 inches away from the midpoint of the outer edge of the nose, one on each side. Method: Use your thumbs to press the left and right Yingxiang points with the palms facing up, and rub them in a clockwise direction for 30 times. If you have constipation, press and rub them in a counterclockwise direction for 30 times. Do this once a day, and 10 days is a course of treatment. Function: Yingxiang acupoint is the intersection of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian and the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian to stop bleeding. Pressing this acupoint has different effects. Pressing it during defecation can produce the urge to defecate and facilitate defecation. Normally pressing this acupoint can regulate gastrointestinal qi function and is beneficial to the recovery of intestinal defecation function.
