Symptoms and causes

Common causes of stomachache include cold evil invading the stomach, diet damaging the stomach, liver qi invading the stomach, and weak spleen and stomach. There are many types of stomach pain, including chronic stomach pain with dull pain and acute gastritis with sudden and severe pain. Severe stomach pains that can make you break out in a cold sweat can even occur while you are working or walking. Such symptoms are mostly caused by acute gastritis and a disease commonly known as "stomach spasm".

Acute gastritis is a disease in which the stomach wall mucosa becomes inflamed and is accompanied by pain. The main causes are overeating, food poisoning, drug poisoning, or one of the symptoms of a febrile illness. At certain times, extreme stress may also cause nervous gastritis.

In any case, when pain occurs, you must calm down immediately and the symptoms will gradually ease, but will not disappear completely. This is the characteristic of this disease. At this time, acupoint therapy is still needed to achieve the effect of pain relief.

【Effective acupoints】

For acute stomach pain, the "gastrointestinal point" should be stimulated first. The gastrointestinal point is located slightly below the center of the palm and is an acupuncture point within the "Healthy Three Needle Area". Draw a straight line from between the middle finger and the ring finger toward the wrist. The point where this line intersects with the lifeline is the gastrointestinal point.

Luo Lingwu is located on the back of the hand, approximately between the index finger and the middle finger, 2 cm down towards the wrist. Touch it with your fingers, approximately in the bone depression between the index finger and the middle finger.
