I often suffer from constipation. How can I massage my stomach to promote bowel movements?

Nowadays, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, so most people live fast, such as fast food, fast sleep, etc. However, many people have the habit of sitting for a long time, so constipation often occurs. Failure to defecate smoothly will bring great trouble to people, so can massaging the abdomen promote defecation?

Massage method:

①Use your fingertips to gently massage your abdomen from bottom to top, slowly and evenly, repeat several times.

② After rubbing your hands to warm them up, place one palm on the umbilicus, apply a little force, and rub in a circular motion with the umbilicus as the center. First rub in a clockwise direction, expanding outwards while rubbing, until it reaches the scrotum and the pubis; then rub back to the umbilicus in a counterclockwise direction from large to small. Repeat this several times.

③ You can also lie on your back, rub your palms together until they are warm, then put your hands together under the right abdomen, and rotate around the abdomen in a clockwise direction for a total of 30 circles. This direction is exactly the same as the direction of feces in the large intestine, which helps the movement of feces. This method is suitable for use when sitting on the toilet.

Tips:

While insisting on exercising, you should also have a regular life, such as not drinking alcohol, eating less spicy foods such as chili peppers, drinking more boiled water, eating more vegetables rich in plant fiber, and developing the habit of defecating on time every day.
