How to quickly relieve stomach discomfort?

As society continues to develop, everyone's life and work pressures are becoming greater and greater. Irregular diet and frequent staying up late to work overtime will cause stomach discomfort. In severe cases, there will be pain. To alleviate this problem, everyone should change their daily bad habits in time, or use massage methods to relieve it, take measures to keep the body warm, and chew slowly when eating.

Massage Qihai acupoint

The Qihai point warms the whole body, which shows that it has the effect of warming and strengthening the body. People with poor stomachs or stomach problems can massage the Qihai point frequently to nourish the stomach and prevent and treat stomach problems. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioner Liu Chuntian pointed out that the Qihai point is located in the lower abdomen, on the anterior midline, 1.5 inches below the navel. When massaging, you can massage the Qihai point on the lower abdomen in a clockwise direction.

Rubbing Neiguan

The Neiguan point is located in the middle of the wrist, about three horizontal fingers (the width of three fingers put together) away from the transverse wrist crease, and is located between the two tendons. Use your thumbs to massage and circle the area 36 times, alternating between your hands. When pain occurs, increase the number to 200 times.

Massage the Wan acupoint

Zhongwan point is an important acupuncture point for treating gastrointestinal diseases. The point is located in the center of the line connecting the lower end of the sternum and the navel, approximately one palm upward from the navel. You can lie on your back during massage, and the pressure should be moderate, not too heavy. If the pressure is not enough, it will not have any therapeutic effect. After a short massage, symptoms such as stomach pain and stomach discomfort can be quickly relieved.

Massage Zusanli

Press Zusanli: Zusanli is located three inches below the edge of the knee (equivalent to the width of four fingers put together), between the tibia and fibula. Press the Zusanli point with the tips of your thumbs, 36 times at normal times. When it hurts, you can rub it about 200 times, with a slightly heavier pressure.

Regular and quantitative

That is, three meals a day should be eaten on time. When the time comes, no matter you are hungry or not, you should take the initiative to eat. Avoid being too hungry or too full, and keep the stomach active regularly. You should also eat moderate amounts at each meal.

Suitable temperature

The temperature of food should be neither too hot nor too cold. Otherwise, food that is too hot or too cold will irritate the gastric mucosa after entering the stomach, which can easily cause stomach problems over time.

Chew slowly

Chew your food thoroughly and make it as small as possible to reduce the workload of your stomach. The more you chew, the more saliva you secrete, which has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa.
