Ai Jiu is a commonly used method in traditional Chinese medicine for health strengthening, disease prevention, and treatment. However, many people experience flatulence after Ai Jiu on the navel. So, what is the reason for flatulence after Ai Jiu on the navel?
Why do you fart after Ai Jiu on the navel?
1. Ai Jiu promotes intestinal peristalsis
The navel is the Shenque acupoint in the meridian system of the human body. Ai Jiu on the Shenque acupoint has the effect of warming the middle and dispelling cold, as well as relieving pain. Ai Jiu on the navel can also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, leading to gas expulsion from the intestines. Therefore, if you fart after Ai Jiu on the navel, there is no need to worry. You can continue with the Ai Jiu treatment.
2. Ai Jiu's healing reaction
Ai Jiu on the navel can stimulate the body's positive energy. After a round of Ai Jiu treatment, the body gradually accumulates enough positive energy to open up the blocked joint channels in the body, expelling accumulated pathogenic factors. During this process, there may be reactions such as anal gas release, soreness in the liver and gallbladder area, and reflex zone pain. These are healing reactions and considered positive phenomena.
Rumbling stomach and farting after Ai Jiu on the navel
Rumbling stomach and farting during Ai Jiu treatment usually occur during the first session of Ai Jiu on the navel.
This indicates that the Ai Jiu technique is effective. Most people can hear the rumbling sound of intestinal peristalsis and continuously release gas during Ai Jiu treatment. After Ai Jiu, extremely foul-smelling loose stools may also be discharged. This is another healing reaction to Ai Jiu treatment and is considered a positive phenomenon.
Therefore, if you experience rumbling stomach and farting during Ai Jiu treatment, do not stop because of concerns. You can continue with the Ai Jiu treatment.
Is farting after Ai Jiu a way to expel cold?
Farting after Ai Jiu is a reaction of the body expelling pathogenic and waste gases. However, if there is a desire to urinate, defecate, or experience diarrhea after Ai Jiu treatment, it indicates that the body is expelling internal dampness and coldness.
Ai Jiu treatment usually starts from the top and goes downward. The main component of Ai Jiu sticks is Artemisia, which has the properties of warming and dispelling coldness, promoting meridian circulation, and eliminating dampness and coldness from the bladder and large intestine meridians during Ai Jiu treatment.
