How to treat spleen and stomach disharmony

If you want to effectively treat spleen and stomach disharmony, then some massage and kneading methods are more appropriate, but you must pay attention to mastering the correct acupoints. Massaging the Zusanli point can promote digestion, and you should also pay attention to a scientific and reasonable diet.

1. “Kneading the accumulation” can also treat malnutrition

In addition, kneading was often used in ancient times to treat gastrointestinal diseases such as malnutrition. Kneading the accumulation of blood is a method of stimulating certain meridians and acupoints of the body by using different techniques according to the condition of the disease, so as to achieve the purpose of curing the disease. It will not cause any pain and can both prevent and cure diseases.

Before kneading the acupoints, massage your back to relax your muscles, then knead from bottom to top six times, and then use the "pinch three and lift one" method. The specific method of "pinch three and lift one" is to pinch the skin and flesh on both sides of the spine with both hands at the same time, from bottom to top, along one direction. After every three pinches, you need to pull up with force.

2. Massage Zusanli acupoint to promote digestion

For malnutrition, the above two methods can be used. For those with congenital deficiencies or improper postnatal care, experts recommend the Zusanli acupoint. Massaging the Zusanli point for 10 to 15 minutes can enhance the function of the digestive system and improve sallow complexion and thin muscles. Zusanli is the He point of the spleen meridian and is also an important point for health care. The specific kneading method is to knead in clockwise direction. You can also use the same method to massage the spleen and stomach points on the back to enhance the health-care effects.

3. Diet therapy can also strengthen the spleen and stomach

Appropriate changes in diet can also regulate the spleen and stomach in daily life.

Drinking porridge can nourish the stomach. Such as Houttuynia cordata and lean meat porridge, barley porridge, yam porridge, red date porridge, and jujube porridge. If a child has a bad spleen and stomach, anorexia, picky eating, and diarrhea, you can add ginger to the porridge and cook it together before eating; if the child has symptoms such as bloating, you can add tangerine peel appropriately, which has the effect of removing dampness and promoting qi.
