Can massaging acupoints on the palm alleviate stomach pain?
For acute stomach pain, you should stimulate the "stomach and intestines point" first. The stomach and intestines point is located slightly below the center of the palm, which belongs to the "Jian Li San Zhen Qu" acupoint area. Draw a straight line between the middle finger and ring finger towards the wrist. The intersection of this line and the life line is the stomach and intestines point.
The "Luo Ling Wu" point is located on the back of the hand, about 2 centimeters below the space between the index finger and middle finger, in the concave area between the bones.
The stomach and intestines point is closely related to the digestive system such as the stomach and intestines. When acute gastritis occurs, strong stimulation is required on the stomach and intestines point. Therefore, you can use five toothpicks to stimulate the stomach and intestines point without piercing the skin. Generally, after 10 to 5 stimulations, the pain will be relieved. If the pain persists, continue to stimulate the stomach and intestines point. The "Luo Ling Wu" point on the back of the hand should be stimulated in the same way.
