Massage the acupoints on the palms to relieve stomach pain. Why does stomach pain occur?

Gastric disease is one of the most common diseases in life. After all, many people in modern society have not developed good living and eating habits. Frequent overeating or excessive dieting may cause gastric disease. The main symptom of gastric disease is stomach pain. How can stomach pain be relieved? Does acupoint massage work?

【Symptoms and causes】

Common causes of stomachache include cold evil invading the stomach, food hurting the stomach, liver qi attacking the stomach, and weak spleen and stomach. There are many types of stomachache, including chronic stomachache with silent pain and acute gastritis with sudden and severe pain. Even severe stomachache that makes you sweat may occur while working or walking. Such symptoms are mostly caused by acute gastritis and diseases commonly known as "gastric 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 disease. In some cases, extreme tension may also cause neurotic gastritis.

No matter what, when pain occurs, you need to calm down immediately, and the symptoms will gradually ease, but they will not disappear completely. This is the characteristic of this disease. At this time, you still need to rely on acupoint therapy to achieve the effect of pain relief.

【Effective acupoints】

For acute stomach pain, you should first stimulate the "gastrointestinal point". The gastrointestinal point is located slightly below the center of the palm and is an acupuncture point in the "three-needle area of ​​health care". Draw a straight line from the middle finger and the ring finger toward the wrist. The intersection of this line and the life line 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 downward toward the wrist. Touch it with your fingers and it is approximately in the bone depression between the index finger and the middle finger.

【Treatment methods】

As the name suggests, gastrointestinal points are acupoints that are closely related to the stomach, intestines and other digestive systems. When acute gastritis occurs, strong stimulation must be applied to the gastrointestinal point. Therefore, when irritated, you can use 5 toothpicks to prick the gastrointestinal points to treat it with a strength that will not puncture the skin. Generally speaking, the pain will subside after 10 to 5 pricks. If the pain persists, continue stimulating the gastrointestinal points. The Luolingwu on the back of the hand must also be stimulated in the same way.
