What are the emergency measures to relieve stomach pain

In life, without any reason, the symptoms of stomach pain suddenly appear. This is something that many people have experienced. When the stomach hurts, it is really unbearable. There are many reasons that can cause stomach pain. Even if we go to the hospital for examination at this time, we must first relieve our condition before we can walk. Now let’s talk about the emergency methods to relieve stomach pain.

1. Hot towel compress

Applying a hot towel is one of the quickest ways to relieve stomach pain. The method is to first prepare a basin of hot water at about 50 degrees, then drop in an appropriate amount of safflower oil, then soak the towel in it, take it out to drain the water, and apply it to the area where the stomach hurts. After the towel becomes cool, you can repeat the above steps once more. Generally, it will have a pain-relieving effect after a few minutes of application. Pay attention to the temperature and make sure it is acceptable. Be careful not to get burned.

2. Massage around the belly button

Massaging the navel to relieve stomach pain is also a common method. You can use your fingertips to massage the area around the navel, first clockwise and then counterclockwise, for about 10 minutes. This will help improve local blood circulation, dredge the meridians, and effectively relieve stomach pain. In addition, you can also press the Zhongji point to relieve pain. The Zhongji point is located 2 inches below the navel. Be careful to be gentle with your movements.

3. Acupoint massage

If you have stomach pain, you can massage the Laogong point (the position where the middle finger of a clenched fist points), which will relieve the pain after a few minutes. You can also massage the gastrointestinal acupoint near the Laogong point, which is located in the center of the lifeline of the palm, which is also effective in relieving stomach pain.

4. Ginger and brown sugar water

Ginger and brown sugar water has the effects of relieving abdominal distension, expelling stomach cold and relieving pain. It is a good remedy for relieving stomach pain. You can boil water with ginger slices, add appropriate amount of brown sugar, and drink it while hot. It is especially effective for stomach pain caused by menstruation or cold.

5. Distract

When you have a stomachache, you can relieve it by diverting your attention. You can watch a comedy, read a novel, or listen to light music to relax your whole body, maintain a happy mood, divert your attention, and cut off the pain signals. Don't frown or get irritated because of a stomachache.

6. Lie down and rest

When you have a stomachache, you must avoid overwork. You can lie down and rest for a while to help relieve the stomachache. Remember to keep the room quiet and keep warm, especially your abdomen. Don't catch cold, otherwise it will aggravate the stomachache.
