One effective method to eliminate "big belly" is abdominal massage for weight loss. It is suitable for many diseases of the digestive system, nervous system, and genitourinary system, and can also be used as a method to eliminate abdominal fat and strengthen the body. It has the advantages of being simple to learn, comfortable to feel, and fast in effect.
The technique for abdominal massage for weight loss can use the two-finger overlapping method: that is, overlapping the two thumbs. The pressure should be light, with the hand feeling the pulse and the patient not feeling pain. Another method is the wave-like push and press method: with the fingers of both hands close together and naturally extended, place the left palm on the back of the right fingers, and press forward with force on the abdomen. Then, press back with force using the left palm, moving slowly from top to bottom, like waves in water.
The acupoints that can be selected for abdominal massage for weight loss are Guan Yuan point (3 inches below the navel), Tian Shu point (2 inches beside the navel, usually 1 inch diagonally above the left and right navel, if there is an artery, it is the point, the right side point is not given much attention). Zhong Wan point (4 inches above the navel).
When performing abdominal massage, the patient should lie supine on the bed, unfasten the buttons and belts, and only wear a thin piece of clothing on the abdomen. The massager should sit on the left side of the bed facing the patient. First, use the wave-like push and press method to move from the upper abdomen to the lower abdomen 3-4 times, then apply the two-finger overlapping method to the Zhong Wan, left Tian Shu, and Guan Yuan points in order, pressing each point for 2-3 minutes, and then use the wave-like push and press method for 2-3 minutes after each point. Once a day. However, it is not suitable to massage after meals or when feeling especially hungry. If there are chronic diseases, rest for a few days after one month of massage before continuing. Stick to daily massage, adjust your diet, and persist, and you will achieve weight loss.
This method can also be adapted by the patient himself, roughly following the original intention, for self-massage. Choose once in the morning and once in the evening, each time for 20-30 minutes, and you can also achieve the goal of abdominal weight loss. Persistence is key.
